Patrick Vegeais - President of the Porsche Club Motorsport France

What a great way to start a day in this car…

This is a Porsche 964 RS from 1992. I am a member of the Porsche Club RS de France with this car, a club open only to owners of 2.7L RS, 964 RS or 993 RS with very strict admission rules which compiles all the histories of these cars , including mine. This fuchsia shade, or “Stern Ruby” in German, was the presentation color at the Frankfurt Motor Show in October 1991. It is a shade that is actually quite widespread on the 964 RS with maritime blue, mint green, orange tangerine and wonderful yellows, there were quite a few whites and blacks. We are starting to see bright colors again among all manufacturers, whereas ten years ago gray and black dominated the market, it was sad! I bought this car at the end of the 90s, it had 10 km on the clock, today it shows 000. With the Porsche Club RS of France I participated in the Targa Florio in Sicily in September 117 . We went down with the vehicles to Genoa where we took the boat to Palermo, before resuming the Targa route and adding 000 km to the clock. We don't care, because with a Porsche, we no longer talk about kilometers, it's the condition of the car that counts. A Porsche is made to drive, it is above all an object of pleasure.

A perfect car for the president of the Porsche Club Motorsport France…

I have been president of the club since 2012, it’s true that it goes by quickly. Founded in October 1961 by Auguste Veuillet, then a Sonauto importer in France, the Porsche Club of France is a fine institution. Pork
