Want to go?” (This thing ↓) “Cafe Seven is in Tsukigase, so you can also enjoy touring around there, and you can drive on the Nara Nürburgring(a road nicknamed the Nürburgring of Nara) too.” He said....

This Is a Must-Go! Porsche Experience Day at Fuji Speedway on June 16 (Sat) & 17 (Sun)

Porsche Experience Day The other day on Twitter, a fellow Porsche enthusiast posted, “Shall we go to the Porsche Experience Day on June 16 (Sat) and 17 (Sun)?” The Porsche Experience Day is a special program held at Fuji Speedway in conjunction with events like the Porsche Carrera Cup, celebrating Porsche’s 70th anniversary. Ferdinand Porsche established his design office around 1930, but the first model bearing the Porsche name, the Porsche 356 No1 Roadster, debuted...

Pro Porsche Fan?

Changing My Name? Hello to everyone who always reads my blog. I’m Mina, a pro Porsche fan. …Wait, what’s a pro Porsche fan? (-_-) Actually, since I revamped this blog last month, I’ve been thinking quite a bit about “Who exactly am I?” There’s no doubt I’m a Porsche fan. But my husband says, “You’re probably the only person in all of Japan who loves the Panamera this much.” I check Porsche Japan’s official site...

Why Are White, Black, and Silver Cars So Popular in Japan?

I Started Instagram. Just recently, I finally started Instagram. At that time, my husband told me, “This person’s Instagram is really great.” It was porsche.sport.germany. He lives in Germany and posts photos of various Porsche models and colors every day. Every photo is stunning, and he has an incredible 529,000 followers!!(As of May 2018) Amazing… How does he manage to collect so many Porsche photos? Does he spend all day hunting for Porsches to photograph?...

Applied for the Porsche Macan 70-Day Monitor Campaign!

Macan Monitor Recruitment Yesterday, while casually browsing Porsche Japan’s official website, I came across something called the “Porsche Macan 70-Day Monitor Campaign.” This year marks Porsche’s 70th anniversary. To celebrate, they are recruiting monitors who can enjoy the Macan for 70 days. Along with that, selected participants will receive a carefully chosen accommodation voucher from “Ikkyu.com.” The thoughtful idea of “drive the Macan, not just for everyday use but also for a long trip, stay...

About the Porsche Panamera’s Catchphrases

Panamera’s Catchphrases The moment I fell in love with the Panamera was during my first test drive—I was moved by the throttle response, handling, and that perfect harmony between car and driver. But what truly captured my heart was learning its catchphrase at the time. <A car worthy of the conqueror of life, delivering the thrilling drive unique to Porsche along with comfort.> A car worthy of the conqueror of life… I thought, “I want...

Porsche 911 GT3 R Wins Overall at the 2018 Nürburgring 24 Hours!

*I forgot to take pictures of the Porsche itself, so the top photo is of the Mercedes AMG GT3 that my husband took. What is the “Nürburgring 24 Hours”?

The “Nür” in today’s blog title refers to the “Nürburgring.” This is an endurance race held annually from May to June at the Nürburgring, where the competition is to see how...

Driving the Porsche Panamera Turbo with Paddle Shifters on the Royu Driveway

Driving the Panamera with Paddle Shifters Lately, whenever I go out in the Panamera, I make it a point to drive using the paddle shifters no matter where I’m headed. Sometimes I even forget when stopped at a red light, and when it turns green, I end up flooring it still in first gear (lol). I’m gradually getting used to driving with the paddle shifters and starting to enjoy it more, so yesterday I decided...

Why My Husband Deliberately Chose 21-Inch Wheels for Our Porsche Panamera Turbo

Another simple question popped up. Our Panamera Turbo has 21-inch wheels. Yesterday, when my husband came home from work, I casually asked him, “Why did we choose 21-inch wheels for our Panamera Turbo?” That sparked a 30-minute lecture from him, haha. Since I barely understand the basic structure of cars, I thought, “The difference in wheel size = difference in tire size.” But I was surprised to learn that the tire’s outer diameter doesn’t actually...

Started Our Facebook Page

I Was Not Good with Social Media, So I Didn’t Use It It sounds like “Cold Chinese noodles are now available,” but… we’ve started a Facebook page. To be honest, I’ve always been pretty bad with social media. I rarely update my personal Facebook, I’m not very interested in others’ posts, I never understood the appeal of Instagram, and I left Twitter untouched for a long time thinking, “I just don’t get it.” However, since...
