I am an Aussie boy, born and raised in Sydney who has now been living in my adopted hometown of New York since 2004. I never say NO to beer or pizza and love my wife and our three little boys. I'm an obsessed car nutcase. I talk about cars all day long. I have been into Porsches, Ferraris and every other cool carmaker since as far back as I remember. Back in 2013 I partnered up with some friends to acquire and operate some of my favorite automotive sites on the planet and Stuttcars was one of those sites. I hope to be a great steward of the brand.

Piëch was the grandson of Ferdinand Porsche. Piëch did everything from leading motor racing operations at Porsche during the 1960s, to turning Audi into a true...

Yippee ki-yay Panamera This well known quote from the infamous John McClane* immediately popped into my mind the first time I put my foot down in my Panamera. It was followed by a grin in the size of the equator. But… but… but… why? I was content with my 2009...
The survivor-look 911 Obsession, it can strike at any time. Unfortunately, mine struck about five years too late after the price of air-cooled 911s had rocketed. I can’t quite put my finger on why I now needed an air-cooled 911, obviously the timing was out five years ago. Maybe a...
One year later Using the Cayenne as a daily driver has been quite a ride, pun intended. I never thought I’d say this, but I’m really happy with it all in all. It does have its quirks, but as a car to take you from A to B, it’s superb....
I must be crazy Why on earth would someone sell a perfect color combination 911 Turbo with manual transmission and buy a Cayenne instead? Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it. When I originally bought the 911, I was certain that I would...
The first day of the rest of your life Certain things/events/people define our lives, our beliefs and attitude. Most of these are somehow scheduled, but a few appear out of nowhere and create irreversible impact, good or bad. It was August 2000. Days after the completion of my mandatory army...
911 Carrera 3.0 “Arschloch” I have an Australian delivered 1977 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0, which I purchased in 1985 from the car’s original owner. The car had 80.000 km on it and no major work carried out. In January of 2015, some oil leaks prompted me to re-build the engine....

Movie star and racing driver Steve McQueen had an idea to make a film based on the Le Mans 24H racing. He had a personal Porsche 908 K Flunder Spyder (chassis 908-022) in which he had scored second in 1970 Sebring 12H. For the Le Mans the car was converted...

The Touring makes sense for those who envision their GT3 more as a daily mode of transportation than a track specialist (it can do both well). GT performance is good enough for any paved road but the Touring was created for a certain type of personality. There is no other car that can invoke a sense of connection and purpose like a GT3 Touring (with a 6-speed manual transmission) can. This is the car to buy and own forever.

The 992-era 911 GT3 confirms that Porsche is prepared to go to astonishing lengths to keep the hardcore faithful happy. The engine is a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre that revs to 9,000 rm and has little in common with the unit found elsewhere in the 992 range and a lot to do with the one in the GT3 Cup car. Power is up a modest 10bhp to 503 bhp, torque to 347 ft lbs. That’s more than enough. It’ll accelerate to 62mph in 3.4 seconds. It is the best sports car on the planet.
