Default Porsche Videos and such

Porsche of Silver Spring is a great host for Tech sessions! Facilities are top notch (clean beyond measure), great food for breakfast and lunch, and some very nice raffle/door prizes! They even had some nice T’s made up for the event. One nice thing about staying to the end though was getting the last of 2 DVDs “The Porsche Way.” Nice pic of father and son on cover, and 356 and modern Speedsters inside. DVD divided into 9 sections that can be viewed individually or altogether. Lots of period race and road screens. As you would expect plenty of 356s and 911s doing their stuff sliding around corners. But you got to love watching the early ~100hp 924s w/their backend hung out climbing twisty mountain roads!


DVD Sections include:
  • Prologue
  • The Early Years – Professor Ferdinand Porsche and his Design Office
  • The Fifties – the sports car manufacturer Porsche
  • The sixties – consolidation and growth
  • The Seventies – Porsche on course for success
  • The Eighties – exports and top technology
  • The nineties – turnaround and product Offensive
  • The new Millennium
  • Into the Future
I liked it a lot! Going to check w/Vu, but if PCNA doesn’t have a copy will prolly donate mine. Would be cool for anyone visiting headquarters to see the history of our addiction.
