    Preservation, Conservation and Restoration

    Owning a 911 means you have some choices. What should I do with my 911? Besides drive it as much as possible.

    There are no correct answers. Just choices. Here's an article I wrote about all of this.

    You can also modify a 911. That's a lot of fun.

    Mine are 6 and 7. I was always going to add the rear flares but never pulled the trigger.

    Chuck also has a much better motor

    Randy,

    Are those Revolutions on your car?

    Yes, cheaper than 911Rs and no need for spacers.

    Great article Richard. I've just bought another Porsche. A very original example from 2006 with a tad under 2500 miles. My mission is to use it and enjoy it. But to not let it deteriorate as a consequence of enjoying its finer charms. So no salt and dry roads only. Will have to be a little patient which is not my strong point

    You purchased an '06 car and only plan to use on dry roads? That is patience.
