2013 Porsche Boxster S Anthracite Brown Beauty

Just in for scheduled maintenance, there’s nothing wrong with this car, in any way, shape or form. New Pirellis will be installed before she leaves our shop.

I love this Anthracite Brown. Not to be a hater, but Porsche’s Cognac Brown is a bit much, like blackstrap molasses when you could have used Vermont maple syrup.

2010 Audi A5 – Driver Seat Woes

The driver’s seat in this car is broken. Despite its sumptuous leather stuffed with comfy cushions, motors, levers, cables and sensors, the steel frame broke. The backrest would not stay locked in place, rendering it floppy and unusable.

1970 Porsche 914-6

Porsche billed this car as a two-seater, but it’s more of a 1+1. The passenger seat is barely a real seat.

Production of this flat-6 version was limited to somewhere between 2800 to 3500; there are differing versions according to available Porsche numbers and unofficial sources. Either way, there aren’t many of them now, anywhere.

Audi CAEB 2.0T Cylinder Head Rebuild

A tired-ish engine with over 100,000 miles can be rejuvenated to rise again for another 100k run.

There was nothing physically wrong with this head, but a few valves would not seal adequately due to the carbon buildup that is inevitable with direct-injection gas engines.
