Not many families can match the Porsches in terms of the joy they have brought to the world - a life well-lived!

Indeed a life well lived - many times the second or third generation is not that strong, but in this case, amazing! RIP.

Default Butzi's birthday

Butzi-- Sir, you made the world a more beautiful place, and I humbly thank you

... plus enjoying man's best friend, the only 993 'born' as a Speedster, wearing sunglasses upside-down, and celebrating with friends in this amateur birthday video. A great way to remember a great man - enjoying life
