Porsche Driving Experience For Women Only

If you ever have ever wanted to try out the Porsche Driving Experience but were perhaps intimidated by the thought of getting muscled out by the male participants in the driving school, you might want to clear out September 18 and 19 on your calendar. That's when the driving school is holding their Women Only event at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama. The weekend includes classroom instruction as well as on-track sessions and off-road courses. And just because you like to drive fast doesn't mean you are not a girly girl. The weekend will also include a fashion show at the Ross Bridge Resort hotel and women drivers can also enjoy spa treatments, golf lessons and yoga and pilates classes.

When Vertu first announced their Racetrack Legends phones, which pay homage to some of the world's most famous tracks, the company planned to sell them individually, releasing only 1000 of each of the six designs. So far, only 4 of the 6 designs have come out. To appeal to collectors during the holiday season, Vertu has just released a very limited edition Racetrack Legends Box Set that includes all six of the phones in a carbon-fiber box. The box also has three trays with cases for headsets and other mobile phone accessories. Only 51 sets will be sold. Price: £30,000 (approx. $59,000).
