This Enthusiast Has A V8 Fetish
I always wait for the reasoning. That certain reason for the car that fulfilled their needs. Today this mans reason was very poignant to me. ” you only have one life….” don’t wait, buy it or build it and do whatever you need to to get to that place. The place where you and the car make for the feeling we all that are passionate about our rides understand. YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE…
About 10 years ago, I had a bit of phase, and really wanted 928, but every single one that I found, all of them had some electrical issues that I really didn’t want to deal with. Nowadays it’s way out of my reach…what a great looking thing. In Japan, we used to call it Porsche’s aircraft carrier.
Both cars are under appreciated [ as well as under priced ] and well overdue for some positive attention . The video ? Hell … its Iceland .. you’d have to work awfully hard to have the visuals go wrong . And the music .. albeit a bit lame .. is at lest appropriate to the location having just a hint of Sigur Ros / Amiina to it .
So Petrolicious …… you’ve done a couple of restored 928’s now .. both in article and video … and kudos to you for that . . But hows about a little something I recently ran across ? A video / feature on a PorVette 928 .. or two .. seeing as how theres even a kit to help you build one . And what is a PorVette you might ask ? Try the lightness , handling and style of the 928 .. with the in your face performance , horsepower , torque and reliability of a Corvette crate motor… which is errr .. substantially lighter than the original 928 V8 as well . Yikes… Holy **** Batman … and damn does it ever work !
great visual on this video, the stark nature of Iceland and the yellow 928 strike an amazing balance! I’ve owned both of those cars and it’s about time they get some love from others, they truly are fantastic when you find a good one. The 500e to this day has been my favorite sleeper. If able in the future videos it would be great to feature the hidden gems, the cars that dont normally get any light, but yet we all know they are the foundation of our hobby. Just a thought.
