A Parade of Porsches at Cafe Seven – Including the 911 GT3 RS and 911 Turbo S

Truly a Mecca for Car Enthusiasts The other day, when I visited Cafe Seven, there were so many rare Porsches that it really lived up to its reputation as a haven for car lovers. (Just like this. Besides Porsches, there were also Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and BMWs.) Today, I’d like to introduce some of the Porsches that were there. ① Boxster (986) It was parked with the top down and looked incredibly cute. ② Cayman GT4...

Visited “Cafe Seven,” the Mecca for Car Enthusiasts in Tsukigase!

The Mecca for Car Lovers: The Cafe This morning before noon, my husband said, “There’s this cafe called Cafe Seven, a mecca for car lovers, and a custom leather glove shop is setting up there just for this weekend. 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?...

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...

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...

Welcome Home, PORSCHE — How I Come Up with Daily Blog Topics

What people say when they see my blog. Lately, when I meet acquaintances or car enthusiasts, I’ve started introducing this blog. Often, they check it out right then and there (If you search for “Panamera” and “blog,” mine comes up at the top, which makes me wonder how niche that keyword really is…) and usually say this: “You write a blog every day? How do you find so much to write about?” When I showed...

Simple Question: “What’s the Difference Between Porsche Fans and Ferrari Fans?”

One Day, a Sudden Question “Why are Porsche fans and Ferrari fans so different?” I suddenly wondered one day. Porsche fans tend to be quite geeky… When I glanced at posts in a Porsche enthusiast Facebook group my husband belongs to, I was surprised by all the nerdy posts like “Air-cooled engines are the best” or “Finally finished the break-in after 200,000 km ( ´ー`)!” About the Porsche Driving School, “There are definitely a lot...

How Our Whole Family, From Car-Loving Husband to Wife and Kids, Enjoys a Happy Golden Week

How Our Family Spends Golden Week Golden Week started at the end of April. In our family, since our eldest daughter’s kindergarten follows the regular calendar, we only have May 1st and 2nd off. The weather has been pretty nice this holiday season, making it perfect for outings. …but every year during Golden Week or other holidays, our family rarely goes out together. That’s because everywhere is just too crowded (-_-) With so many cars,...
