Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in a Porsche 911 (992) Part 6 (Final)

From Miyazaki to Takachiho Having finally reached Miyazaki on this tour, it was time to head home, but first, I decided to take a little sightseeing drive around the Miyazaki area. However, it was pouring rain from the morning. The Cabriolet’s soft top was soaked beyond what its water-repellent treatment could handle. Opening the door quickly to avoid getting wet, I jumped in and started the engine. Leaving Miyazaki city, I sped along K355 and...

Test Drive of the New Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Package (992)

I had the opportunity to test drive the new GT3 that everyone, including myself, loves—especially the Touring Package—so I’d like to share my impressions. What is the GT3 Touring Package? The GT3 Touring Package is a trim that was introduced in the later stages of the previous 991 generation, and it’s a GT3 that I have personally owned. ポルシェ 911 GT3がついに納車！ – 納車日ドキュメンタリー This time, the GT3 Touring is the latest 992 generation successor. Basically,...

Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in Porsche 911 (992) ⑤

Famous Road: Ibusuki Skyline The trip is now approaching its final stages. Although I arrived late at the hotel the previous day, I made an effort to wake up early. I was a bit sleep-deprived and felt the fatigue accumulating. After getting ready, I got into the 911 and headed first for the Ibusuki Skyline. In my opinion, the Ibusuki Skyline ranks among the top 5 famous roads in Japan. I had driven it before...

My Image of Air-Cooled Porsche Changed! Test Drive Impressions of the 964 MT

Porsche Festival @ Royu Driveway The other day, I had the chance to drive an air-cooled Porsche 964 (MT). It was so much fun that my image of air-cooled Porsches completely changed, and I want to share that experience today. A few days ago, my husband went to Royu Driveway in the morning and came home saying this: Today, a 992 GT3 Touring owner even came all the way from Kyushu, and TAKURO-san showed up...

Test Driving the Last Air-Cooled Porsche: The 993 Porsche 911

Porsche 911 Type 993 I’ve had the chance to drive many air-cooled Porsches and have reviewed them in the past, but until now, I hadn’t actually reviewed the 993. This time, I had the opportunity to test drive the 993 Porsche 911, the last air-cooled Porsche, so I’d like to share my review. This car is a Guards Red 993 Carrera S (Tiptronic). Originally, the Carrera S was introduced only in the later 993 models...

Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in a Porsche 911 (992) ④

Driving Around Omura Bay Since I arrived at the hotel later than expected yesterday, I started a bit later today. After getting ready and checking out, I decided to spend the day driving around Omura Bay. As soon as I left the hotel, I opened the roof and headed the 911 onto Omura Rainbow Road. Perhaps because it was morning, traffic was light on this fast winding road. Heading toward Isahaya City, I sped through...

Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in a Porsche 911 (992)③

Taking the 911 on a Ferry from Shikoku to Kyushu I had set my alarm for 5 a.m., but woke up even earlier. It seemed to have rained quite a bit last night, but this morning the rain had stopped and the air was refreshingly crisp. I quickly got ready and left with plenty of time to catch the 6:20 a.m. ferry. The hotel was right in the middle of a residential area, so starting...

Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in Porsche 911 (992) Part 2

Starting from Katsurahama The second day began in Nankoku City. The clear skies remained as usual. I had planned to get up early and take a morning stroll along Katsurahama, but I overslept. Hurriedly got ready and checked out. First, I drove the 911 to Katsurahama. After previously visiting the Kaizumi Shrine (Ryuo-gu) there, I felt my luck improved, so this was a thank-you visit. Though the sun was already high, the Pacific Ocean viewed...

Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in the Porsche 911 (992) Part 1

My Partner This Time: The 992 This year’s Golden Week gave me a rare 10-day holiday, so I decided to go on a long touring trip. Until just before departure, I was undecided about which partner to take—981, or maybe 991, or even a 964? But this time, I chose to take the 992 along. The reason is that although I’ve driven the 992 on long distances and on circuits, I had never really done...

Porsche 911 (991 Early Model) 7th Year Inspection Cost: About 330,000 Yen!

Porsche 911 Vehicle Inspection I purchased a used Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS (991 early model) last September, and since then, I’ve driven nearly 10,000 km, bringing the total to about 41,000 km. And now, this April marks the 7th-year vehicle inspection since its first registration in 2015. Since I have an extended warranty, I decided to have the usual Porsche dealer take care of the inspection this time as well. Last month, after running...
