Heading to the 911DAYS Track Day I had shared a few tweets about it, but last Sunday, March 24th, I participated in a track day at Fuji Speedway hosted by 911DAYS. This was an event I had been invited to by President Suga of WRP, a Porsche specialist shop in Nagoya where my husband purchased his 964C2 last year. (WRP apparently participates every year) Since it was spring break for our daughter’s kindergarten, my husband...

Went to Complete the Delivery Procedures for the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring!

Heading to the GT3 Touring Delivery Procedures The other day, my husband said he was going to complete the delivery procedures for the 911 GT3 Touring, so I decided to go along with him and our daughters. Unfortunately, it was raining that day. Of course… (-_-) Well, since the car wasn’t actually being delivered that day, I thought it was okay and tried to stay positive. When we arrived at the Porsche Center, a Panamera...

The Unique Scent of the Air-Cooled Porsche 911 – What Exactly Is That Smell?

The Scent of the Green Porsche Recently, my husband had been commuting in our air-cooled 911 (964). One evening when he came home, our eldest daughter ran up to him saying, “Welcome home~” (When she’s in a good mood, she runs and hugs him, but when she’s not, she completely ignores him… even at five years old, she’s already as changeable as the autumn sky), and said this: Dad smells like the green Porsche (964)!...

Never Seen a Porsche Panamera Like This! — A Collection of Rare Panamera Body Colors

Differences in Body Colors Between Japan and Overseas The other day, I wrote an article titled “Choosing a car almost always involves agonizing over the body color,” and received comments noting that “in Japan, white, black, and silver cars are overwhelmingly common.” Indeed, while models like the 911, Cayman, and Boxster sometimes sport flashy colors befitting sports cars, when it comes to the Panamera, I’ve hardly ever seen anything other than white, black, or silver....

The Thrill of RR and the Charm of Analog – Why We Love the Air-Cooled Porsche 911

The Thrill of RR The other day, when my husband came home from work, he sat down on the sofa and said thoughtfully, “The 964 (air-cooled 911) really is something special. RR is truly fascinating.” I replied, “How many times are you going to say that? You say it so often it’s starting to make me laugh, lol.” He answered, “Yeah, I know,” and then launched into a passionate explanation about air-cooled Porsches. With the...

Why Porsche Drivers Are Drawn to Jiro Shirasu: A Reflection

The Man, Jiro Shirasu My husband, who has loved Japanese history since he was a student, is especially fond of figures from around the Meiji Restoration. On his tours, he’s gone solo to visit the site of Yoshida Shoin’s Shoka Sonjuku Academy and the Katsurahama Beach in Kochi Prefecture, where the statue of Ryoma Sakamoto stands. Actually, I also quite like stories from the Meiji Restoration and novels by Ryotaro Shiba, so I remember when...

Is the Porsche 911 (991) More Fun Than the New 992?

911DAYS My husband buys and thoroughly reads every magazine featuring Porsches he’s interested in. When he was considering purchasing an air-cooled 911, he ordered magazines from the time the 964 was released and looked at them daily. Recently, perhaps because he’s waiting for delivery of a 911 GT3 (991.2), he’s been frequently reading magazines featuring the 991. Then the other day, I found the 75th issue of 911DAYS sitting on his study desk. At this...

Driving a Classic Air-Cooled Porsche 911 on a Rainy Day

During a Rainy Day Drive The other day, we attended a relative’s wedding as a family of four, but unfortunately, it was pouring rain on the day. Of course… ( -_- ) The day before was sunny, and since my mother-in-law is a super lucky charm for good weather, everyone in the family was saying, “It’ll definitely be sunny because so-and-so will be there.” But sadly, it seems my rain-woman powers won out. The wedding...

A Collection of Memorable Quotes from “Why We Love Porsche”

A Book Given to My Husband A few years ago, I completely stopped reading books. Long ago, I was into Miyabe Miyuki and often read Ryotaro Shiba’s works, but after entering the workforce and reading business books, I found my brain getting unusually tired, and before I knew it, I drifted away from books. Yet, ironically, I diligently write text every day on my blog. What am I, really? lol(I do like writing, though) One...
