Photo Gallery Page Launched – Porsche Boxster, Panamera, 911 GT3, 964…etc

Photos of Porsche I often hear people say, “The photos in your blog posts are really beautiful.” I’ve always thought, “If I’m going to post them, I want to share beautiful, high-quality photos,” so I try to be mindful when taking pictures. But I only use my iPhone for shooting, and I don’t spend much time carefully composing the shots. On the other hand, my husband’s passion for photography is truly on another level lol....

Besides the Porsche Blog, I’m Also on Twitter

Porsche Blog and Twitter This Porsche blog’s homepage now displays a timeline, but I’m also active on Twitter besides the blog. About 10 years ago, I used Twitter for work for a while, but I didn’t really know how to use it and ended up not posting anything, so quite some time passed. Later, after starting this Porsche blog, I registered on Twitter again last April. At first, I wasn’t quite sure how to use...

Porsche 911 GT3 Finally Delivered! – Delivery Day Documentary

Delivery Day of the GT3 Touring Package Following the BMW, the 911 GT3 Touring (991.2) finally arrived on delivery day. This GT3 Touring came about suddenly last December when the dealer called saying, “a GT3 Touring slot opened up, so if you can decide on the specs within two hours, we can place the order.” My husband quickly placed the order at lightning speed. So, neither of us really felt the reality of the purchase...

BMW 320i Delivery The other day, the BMW 320i (F30) finally arrived at our home. It’s a 2014 model with a manual transmission.

Touring to Fukui in a Porsche Panamera and Air-Cooled 911

In the Panamera and Air-Cooled 911 Previously, I was invited by President Suga of WRP, who also invited me to a driving event at Fuji Speedway, and recently I went on a touring trip to Fukui Prefecture. I had been looking forward to participating with my family of four for a while, but the day before, my younger daughter caught a stomach flu… (This pattern is becoming a bit of a tradition, lol) I thought,...

Are Cars Owned by Women Dirty? – Points to Watch When Buying Used Cars

Owners of Luxury Imported Cars The other day, I heard an interesting story from someone working at a luxury imported car dealership. “It might be a stereotype, but cars previously owned by career women often aren’t in the best condition when they come in for sale.” It’s not that all male owners keep their cars spotless, but it does seem that many men who buy luxury cars tend to take good care of them—repairing scratches...

How lucky! The Momentum by Porsche opened in December 2014 and is attached to the Porsche Center Ginza. It is...

Buying My First Car Ever! Meeting and Ordering a BMW 3 Series (MT)

Preparing to Buy an MT Car At the beginning of last month, I decided, “I will buy a manual transmission (MT) car myself within this year.” And just two weeks later, I never imagined I’d be writing an article titled, “Wow, a BMW 320i (MT) is coming home!” なななんと、BMW 320i（MT）がわが家にやってくる！ Of course, my original plan wasn’t to buy so soon. I was thinking, “If I buy, it’ll be around summer. Realistically, I’ll replace the Golf...
