Sound Familiar... out Tracadie way....


As most of my friends know I'm a bit of a motoring "gearhead" and spend a lot of my time chasing down the latest news on cars particularly anything to do with Porsches. So tonight I happened along this YouTube video of a recent Porsche rally where fans often stand at a corner or in the middle of a straight away, sometimes for hours, just to get a glimpse of their favourite car. If you're lucky, you get a prime spot at a sharp turn or abrupt elevation that leads to airborne cars. Lucky for us car enthusiasts, the Internet exists so that the best moments of these races are captured for our enjoyment. So here's a video of over eight minutes of high-revving Porsche GT3 rally cars ripping around a typical rally course. Just about every shot is a keeper and the intense (and vivid) screams of the hopped up boxer engines is more than enough reason to spend a few minutes of your time watching the footage after the jump. Take notice of the M & M car in this video as I recently had a drive with a taxi driver in Manchester NH who surely must have been driving this car on the weekend. People will often ask me how I could possibly drive my Porsche on our PEI roads but once you see this video you'll soon appreciate just exactly the pounding a Porsche can take and you can still use it as a daily driver... so if you've heard something that sounds like this out Tracadie way late some night then my guess is you probably know who it was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEOKck7WWvU and if you think they only do this kind of stuff on a nice summer day then take another moment and have a look at this video as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBnvOEUaXRo so Happy motoring this Year and always remember to drive safe...

was it a Porsche you put in the brooke at the end of the Bedford Rd a few years ago?
