Panorama Photo Gallery - October 2009
Each month, Panorama magazine brings you the best from the world of Porsche. Races, vintage car shows, technical articles, we cover it all!
At Panorama, we never have room for all the pictures we'd like to share with our readers. Here are some photos that just wouldn't fit into the magazine this month.
The October cover story is the 2009 Monterey Historics Week, with coverage from seven PCA writers to give you the full flavor of the most concentrated classic car week in America. For this month’s Gallery, we present a group of Leonard Turner images from Laguna Seca and the Pebble Beach Tour d’Elegance.
