    Porsche 911 50 years on

    Never realised this car has been around for 50 years. An example of what is a classic in my opinion. It's always had that 'classic' sports car look.

    Just watched a couple of them fanging around Dunedin in the rally. They still sound good on the gas.

    Yes, amazing cars. New GT3 with PDK for me please. This is worth a watch if you are interested in fast cars...

    Ride fast or be last.

    The 911 is much more than that.


    Unlike the Mustang, which is a short wheelbase ugly Falcon sold to high school girls, which has evolved with 'murika and become a fat useless turd?

    I guess with a muscle car you can park anywhere you want to. Personally, I think the cougar is a far nicer looking car than the mustang.

    Heres a chainsaw for the 'real' men out there.Click image for larger version.

    Yea good rally, Porsches sounded mint. How was the v12 BMW 5 series giving it a go? haha.
    I was all about the Audi s1 Quattro replica.. sadly it didn't survive day 1 and I didn't get a chance to go out for the end of day 2 to see if it returned

    couple pics from a couple of the Porsches in the rally:

    God I hope you're talking the Mercury Cougar & not the Ford...

    As for that Chainsaw I think you'd have to be built like Zeus to make any real use of it

    Which is this car? I always thought Mercury and Ford were one and the same. I had taken a short video clip of the v8 chainsaw running. sounds fantastic. He did explain the cooling system that was in it but wasn't listening to well.

    The Ford version doesn't look like any thing more than a Mondeo.
