This article was originally published as "Porsche 964 Redefined: Celebrating 70 Years of the Porsche Sports Car" in the May 2018 issue of Provinz, the official magazine of the Porsche Club of America Upper Canada Region.

“I always thought the 911 was a stupid looking car,” was not the statement I had expected the conversation to open with.

Black Apples, Black Oranges

Every Monday, two overgrown children chuckle at the thought of their old schedules and journey out to a giant toybox near Toronto. Their mugs topped up with Baileys and classic rock playing in the background, they shoot the breeze and bond over the muses they've shared since grade school – terrifying cars.

Soviet Resurrected - Restoring a classic Zenit E

The restored E & Helios 44 on the left, with the donor EM still in pieces to its right

An afternoon with a 964

I have a strange affection for blocky 80s cars, from the 500E to the Volvo 240. On the off chance that my petrol gallery hasn't already given it away, I'm also a pretty big Porsche enthusiast.

A twentysomething's experience with the legendary Nikon F

I've been shooting on a Nikon F for six months now, and it has been one of the most pleasant experiences since I started inconveniencing myself with all this grainy film nonsense.
