Yesterday was an overdue wash day at the New Hill Garage. One good thing about white cars is that they don’t look too bad as they get dirty. Until you make that first swipe with the wash rag and realize how bad they really were! Anyway, I owed my wife’s mid life crisis car (2006 … Continue reading
I recently treated myself to a one week “staycation” so I could be at home while my grandchildren visited. This gave me a chance to do some work on the 928 upholstery that would be maddening if only done on weekends. This involved stripping, treating, and re-dying all the leather upholstery in the car.

Probably one reason that the 928 can be had for such reasonable prices is that they may just have a wee bit of a reputation as being a maintenance nightmare. Ya think?

After all, I’ve totally rebuilt a Jag … Continue reading

I was starting to think I needed to buy this car. But not so fast. A little “due diligence” was required. I had a couple of discussions about the history of the car with it’s owner, Joel. And as I pointed out in my previous article, there was a lot of good feedback on Rennlist … Continue reading
I’m not exactly sure when it started but for a while now I’ve been entranced with the look of the Porsche 928. Oh, I guess it started a few years back when I picked up a 944 for track usage and naturally got to looking at the 944’s big brother. It certainly wasn’t because I … Continue reading
