The other day, I introduced an article about my husband’s touring trip titled A 2-Day, 700km Journey in a Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964), and this is the second part. Please enjoy. Porsche 911 Touring Day 2 In Kochi city, we stayed one night at one of our regular hotels, Hotel Nikko Kochi Asahi Royal. It has a mechanical parking garage with a width limit of 1850mm, so a 964 or Boxster can fit. Since going...
A while ago, my husband went on a solo tour in our air-cooled Porsche and wrote down his impressions. I’m sharing this in two parts—front and back—so please enjoy if you like. Porsche 911 Touring Day 1 With some free time at last, he decided to go on an overnight tour, something he hadn’t done recently. This time, his partner was the Porsche 911 Carrera 2 (964). It’s been about a year and a half...
About Car Engine Sounds When driving, I’ve come to truly appreciate how important engine sounds are. Back when I had no interest in cars at all, I used to think, “Car engine sounds are just noisy.” But recently, I’ve come to believe that engine sounds are an essential and cherished part of the driving experience. That said, it’s hard to say “this car’s engine sound is the best” because the quality of an engine sound...
My First Drive in the 911 GT3 in a While The other day, I drove the Porsche 911 GT3 for the first time in a while. I hadn’t driven since late last year due to morning sickness, and even after feeling better, I hadn’t gotten behind the wheel—so it was probably about six months since my last drive. In the past, just the thought of the GT3 intimidated me, and I couldn’t drive it properly....

Porsche 911 964C2 The other day, I drove our air-cooled Porsche 911, the 964C2, for the first time in a while. The last time I drove it was in the fall of last year, so it had been over six months since I last got behind the wheel. My husband has been driving the air-cooled Porsche quite often lately, and every time he gets in, he says, The 964 is really something special. When I...
911 Carrera GTS The other day, my husband was able to borrow a 911 Carrera GTS from an acquaintance, and I got to drive it for a while. Today, I’m sharing my impressions from that experience. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to regularly drive various Porsches in this environment—it’s a rare and valuable experience. I’d like to take this chance to thank my husband’s acquaintances here (though I doubt they read this blog, haha)....
My husband often gets the chance to ride in cars owned by acquaintances or blog readers (lucky him, right? lol), but this time he got to drive a very rare Porsche called a “RUF.” Since I’m still new to Porsche and didn’t know the name RUF, when my husband excitedly told me, “I got to ride in a RUF!” I responded with, “Huh? Nissan Roof? (-_-)” (You mean Nissan Leaf, actually). So, I asked him...
The car following the Panamera was decided to be the base new 911 (992 model), and then the Cabriolet. Since my husband wrote an article about it, this time I’d like to introduce the options we chose.(Today is April Fools’ Day, but there’s no joke here, lol) New 911 (992) Cabriolet The concept this time was a “mature and comfortable 911 Cabriolet”.(Since the 911 logo black doesn’t show properly on the Japanese config, we used...
My husband recently had the chance to drive a friend’s Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS, and he shared his impressions. The 911 Targa is a car I once admired deeply. Please have a look if you’re interested. Test Drive: 911 Targa 4 GTS Not long ago, he had a brief opportunity to drive the early model (991.1) Targa 4 GTS. Around the same time, he had borrowed a late model (991.2) Carrera GTS from an...
