Spring Ritual!
Every Spring I look forward to visiting my mechanic, a really well known air-cooled Porsche specialist, to have him ready my 911 (993) C2S for the season. There are always crazy rare Porsches and race prepped cars, which I love seeing. Today I snapped a few photos. He had one extra special car on the shop floor -- the last Porsche bought by Steve McQueen-- but he asked that I not post any photos of it. It sold recently at auction for $2.3M and the new owner wanted him to go over the mechanicals. Anyway, here are some photos for your viewing pleasure.
My C2S on the lift
Rare 959. Just acquired at auction and in for service.
1988 911 Turbo in Guards Red. Pristine.
911 Turbo in German race colors. Stunner!
Tools!
Engine out!
Vintage Rally Car, and the 959 in profile.
Who doesn't love a 914 in a '70s color
Rare Techart 911 Turbo. This one was featured in Auto Week.
18 inch Turbo twist getting checked for proper inflation after a long winter.
70's era Targa
Everyone's getting checked
The 959 has a funky cool rear.
Gotta love a whale tail.
Oil getting drained. What's that BMW doing in here???
Brake calipers getting a once over.
Speedmaster and an air-cooled 911 go together like peanut butter and jelly.

I made today a day-trip
driving my Targa GTS. After a very tough day I had three hours time before I had to take the ferry back to Estonia. I went for a drive to my favourite curly roads. That saved my day. Thanks for the post. Best, Kari
That's a good way of putting it.
I enjoyed the drive and the engine sound was the best music I have enjoyed for a long time. Best, Kari
Porsche porn :)
Some really cool cars there - as a product of 1980s upbringing I get weak in the knees every time I see a 959 and that Targa is a 912, right? In any case, great combo of the 993 and Speedy!
attractive cars
i must buy one of those cars, If I have enough money. Aha.... the looking of the car is really charming! the cool Piece is my favorite
Great post!
As a Porsche fanatic myself, I appreciate your pictures. Love your 993; its shape might be the best iteration of any 911.
