    Indeed. Inbox full this morning. Seems a good day to fire up the old 2.2, and let it wail…

    Hans cared not only about an engine's power, but also its "music." Funny how we all do, too.

    A sad day for the passing of a man that was a key player in one company for almost 4 decades... and his presents felt for almost 7

    The proof of the man's timeless skill, worth, and stacher is echoed with new proud Porsche owners TODAY bosting...

    "Yeah it's cool, AND it has Mezger engine"

    Mezger loved engineering and the arts. His engines were works of art and they sounded like a symphony. RIP Hans Mezger.
