Rally 911: Let’s Off Road!

May 27, 2010

‘Let’s off-road!” was the catchphrase of a pair of characters from the phenomenal Fast Show, but it could just as well be the warring cry of Francis Tuthill’s Porsche Workshop, just down the road from me in nearby Wardington.

Peking to Paris in a Porsche

March 17, 2010

WEVO engineering smartypants Hayden Burvill, and his Porsche-road-trips-for-the-soul cohort Steven Harris, have been given the thumbs up to take part in the 2010 Peking to Paris Motor Challenge.
