Default F.A.Porsche drives a 993!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39bg7bWFa1o

Remarkable! I have never seen video footage of a Porsche driving a Porsche, it looks to me like some get together with Butzi Porsche -his birthday apparently.

Can someone pls. translate or tell me what they're all talking about?

Oh yeah, and I think likes 993's.

Well, what did you expect Butzi to drive, a 996?? The man made a career based on good taste

It's a very interesting video, especially the group's choice of cars: almost all "Alte Schule" (Old School) 911's & one or two 356's. This is an all-time classic! Thanks for posting this.

Wow...great video! I love the 993 Speedster...Too bad they only made something like 7 of them...and the last one I had a lead on was in Italy and sold by the time I found it.

So we're driving cars made by a guy who wears his glasses upside down...

Maybe that's why the engine is on backwards?

This video confirms my suspicions that Adventura Green was the best/fastest/sexiest color. Preferred by the man himself!

I noticed that, too. It's also clear evidence that the best engines were put in Aventurine Green cars.
