New Blog
Hi everyone!
I have started posting to a new blog called My life with Porsche's. This is a chance to get some writing activity online before I publish my first novel. I will update everyone with details on the book as we get a little closer. But for now, I hope you enjoy it.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!

New Blog Post - My Life with Porsches
New blog is up, I would like to say it must be Monday, but for some reason it is Tuesday. I hate to be a day late and a dollar short.
Enjoy and please share, forward or otherwise help me spread the word.

Thanks,

Interesting premise - kind of like the 1 year with a Ferrari.
My suggestion would be to, um, include something that was actually about Porsches. I read down a few pages and didn't notice anything...

Blog entries shouldn't be longer than 1000 words or you'll lose readers.

A good read: The Gold Plated Porsche. Best book I've read on Porsche ownership. If Blogs were popular at the time it was written, it would have well in that format as well.

Great blog, great topic. I'm sure everyone on this forum has similar memories which led them to car fanatacism. I know I do. My dad's MG midget, 914, et al.
I plan to put the blog on my favorites.
Keep it up!

Just reading the first few paragraphs of your blog stirred some halcyon thoughts of boyhood in me. Especially fond memories of my nanny, and the subsequent introduction to Porsches she taught me . Or, was it the "praise of older women" ?

Man, I wish my nanny looked like that!
With a nanny like that, who would want to leave home...or grow up for matter!

New Blog Post - My Life with Porsches
New Blog is up. I decided to take a break from the automotive stories. So what do you do? You post up a list. In this case the list of cars I think are the ugliest of all time. I had help, my youngest son provided a couple.
So use the comment section and add your $.02 worth and let the blog flames begin! Read, enjoy and share.

In the month and a half since you started your Porsche blog and promoted it here, you have....mentioned a 968 that didn't drive well in a snowstorm.
Dude, this is just false advertising.

I promise, I am getting to them. I decided to do the stories sequentially. Hey I mentioned my Cayman S last week (albeit briefly!).
And on that note...a new post is up. Enjoy!

I have to agree with Center... to a point. Boxster's do well in the snow in Wisconsin, Toronto, Michigan. They do not do well in Texas, Georgia, Arizona.
I wonder why????
