Thanks for the heads-up!!! I saw the new Lambo show a few weeks ago. Fascinating. It will be cool to see Porsche.

Also on TV..
The Independent Film Channel (IFC) will re-air their 30 minute documentary called 'Welcome to the Family'. Originally shown on Oct 15, this documentary features interviews with seven Porsche enthusiasts including comedian Jerry Seinfeld, Porsche designer Freeman Thomas, retired pharmacist Hank Kramer, professional photographer and Jazz Musician Mike Jones, a Spec Boxster female racer, the care-taker of Seinfeld's cars, and our own Heart O' Dixie Region Club President Jim Cambron
According to Jim, the Porsche film crew gathered about 15 hours of coverage of him and his wife Suki at last summer's Keystone Porsche Parade. Footage included preparation and judging the Concours; preparation, conduct, and conclusion of the TSD Rally; and portions from a separate two hour interview session. Their Polar Silver 1996 Turbo S is pretty much the featured vehicle in the film and is repeatedly shown throughout all the various scenes. For instance, in the opening and closing scenes of the film it is the silver car driving on the pink roadway toward and from the camera.
There is also a scene with Jim explaining the Autocross concept and walking the course with Club member Paul Webb. There are also several scenes that were staged for the camera with Jim driving the Turbo S through the mountains.
The film will re-air at the following dates. Check your listings for times:
Sun 10/25/09
Wed 10/28/09
Sun 11/01/09
Sat 11/07/09
Thu 11/12/09

I watched the clip on the site. But how simple they draw a car. And how difficult is it to me to do the same......

<{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->Great show. Makes me want to go there again. The last time I was there (84) the factory was nothing like it is now. I was surprised that the cars were made in such a short time. I wonder how long it takes to make "other" cars.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
ISTR they said 110 911s and 40 Boxsters a day.
Don't worry, it will be on again.
