04 Porsche Turbo – Test driven by Rob Riches
Posted by admin on Feb.26, 2010, under Riches Books
Rob Riches is back in the driving seat as he gets behind the wheel of one of the most iconic cars in history – the Porsche 911, and where better than to test drive a car that is often voted by magazines and online polls as being on of the best cars to drive, than around the sunny streets of LA.
With a love of cars and motor sport almost as much as health and fitness, it’s no surprise that when he’s not working out in the gym, being photographed for top fitness magazines, or interviewing some of the top Fitness Models in the world for LA Muscle TV, he can usually be found behind the wheel of something fast and powerful. Previously reporting on one of America’s much loved muscle car – The Ford Mustang, this time he steps into something a little more modern, yet with just as much history to it’s racing name pedigree.
Driving a Porsche 911 (Type 996) Turbo – the car that changed it all for Porsche when they switched from air-cooled to water-cooled engines, this is also the first time in over a decade that Porsche has offered a Turbo Cabriolet.

joke, the guy seems like he’s reading off an autocue. He knows nothing about cars and just sounds like a porsche car salesman. Knows what he’s doing in the gym though.
