SEASON 03: EPISODE 13
1956 Porsche 356A Speedster's Racing Past Shines Through
When new, this was the least expensive Porsche available and had a ‘less is more’ philosophy behind it. Indeed, the car was intended to be taken to the track and be a legitimate club-racing contender. It seems that that’s precisely how this 356 spent a large portion of its early life. Raced around Connecticut, the car racked up trophies and actually won the E-Production Championship in 1963.

Useful post! It is substantial along with the informative factors. Genuinely well worth it!

Recognize that bit of road anywhere, sure isn’t in Canada! (20 second mark).

Curious is it illegal to drive a car registered in another country in the US? Surely a Canadian Citizen can drive into the US with their car if they are visiting on holiday?

Canadians are allowed to drive their cars in the US on Canadian plates for up to 1 year before requiring importation. Technically you could register a car in Canada, bring it to the US, and as long as you crossed the border (even if it was for 5 mins) before crossing over the 1 year mark then returned it would be technically allowed. I know of someone with an ‘un-named’ car in the US who would do this and has never had an issue despite being looked into.

Canada also has a cool law that allows anything 15 years or older to be totally exempt from any importation restrictions so long as the car passes a basic safety inspection. For this reason Skylines are pretty common along with other interesting imports from the rest of the world. Right hand drive is also allowed.

Cool video.

I’m interested to see what next year is like when the ’89 R32’s are legal to import. Living close to Canada I feel like I’m going to start seeing a lot more of them.

Great video guys. This just keep getting better and better from a storytelling perspective. And this one wasn’t too long. Feel like some of them have been unnecessarily long. Great work.

“Doing your average kickflip or going to the skatepark” How about you try to kickflip a 15 stair or is that not exciting enough for you. Get a proper skateboard.

Really cool video, good story of combining his interest of canyon carving on his board and in the car. That car looks really fun too, I wish I had those roads by me.

I never said I could haha, but he’s the one who implied real skateboarding is boring
And that’s why I said I would like to see him do some actual tricks, I assume we both know skateboarding at a park
when you can actually do tricks and progress to bigger shit on the street is exciting
I dunno I’m not mad at all I just think it’s lame for him to compare real skateboarding to downhill skateboarding..
