On a rainy day, I took an air-cooled Porsche 911.

During a rainy day drive

The other day, a relative of mine had a wedding, and my family of four was able to attend.Unfortunately, the weather on the day of the event was heavy rain.As I thought... (-_-) It was sunny the day before, and my mother-in-law is a super sunny woman, so all the relatives were very happy to see us.With Mr. XX, it will definitely be fine on the day of the event.I had said, "I'm sorry, but unfortunately, my rain girl power seems to have won out.

The wedding went off without a hitch, but by the time we got home in the evening, the rain had become even heavier. As we were driving, my husband, who was in the driver's seat, said something like this.

I feel like driving an air-cooled car (964C2) on rainy days like this. The other day, when I was riding home from work on an air-cooled car on a rainy day, I felt like riding in an air-cooled car (964C2).If I don't go home, I'll end up in Miyazaki.I was so excited that I thought, "What the heck is this?

And.

Every time, I'm thinking, "You're talking weird again."Yes, why? Why is that (-_-)I asked.

Air-cooled, unlike modern cars.The sound of rain is directly audible.Oh, man. The sound of the rain splashing against the roof is indescribably pleasant, and the little windshield wipers clumsily and desperately wiping away the rain is also somewhat endearing. Also, the sound of theI love the atmosphere of this rainy drive because the car is so small and enclosed.I don't know. I guess it's like being in a "tea room" on a rainy day... I don't know.

I answered.(Well, it rained the day of the air-cooled delivery)

Oh, really?

."But, many people don't drive air-cooled cars on rainy days, do they? I hear that some people even put dehumidifiers in their covered garages to control the humidity.I said.

Yes, I think most people don't drive their air-cooled cars in the rain to keep them in better condition. But I think Porsche is a car that needs to be driven.No other car has such a buddy feel and is so much fun.I want to be able to ride all the time, rain or shine. And if it breaks, I can fix it. The more I fix it, the closer it gets to a new car, so that's even fun.

My husband said. You really like air-cooling, don't you......w However, when it comes to rear engine, air-cooled, this(see photo below)It does not look good for the car because it means rain will enter through the black area.

Rainy days are the best days.

So I did some research on the internet about "riding an air-cooled 911 on a rainy day".Even if you drive an air-cooled Porsche on a rainy day, you don't have to worry because the area around the oil inlet is completely dry and the top of the air-cooling fan is well covered.It said.(I guess it's not a good idea to park in the rain, but...)

It was also stated that "Mitsuwa Motor Corporation said something like this.

That's what Porsche is supposed to be.(Ride even if it's raining)He told us that it is a car that rides the way it should be ridden, and that if the engine is driven at high speeds so that the wind blows against it and the engine gets enough heat, even an engine with over 100,000 km will be clean with no carbon buildup inside.

I see - I see.

."working in the field in fine weather and reading at home in rainy weatherThere is even a "proverb" that says, "I am aOn a rainy day, even if you don't dare to get in your car...I would think, "I'm not so sure," but apparently not for my husband, who loves to drive.

Come to think of it, I've heard of "Scrub your car on a rainy day.When I saw the title of the book, "TheEven if you polish your car on a rainy day, it will get wet and dirty anyway, so what's the point?My husband said, "I'm sorry.

No, that's not what I meant. I know, I know how you feel!

I remember I was raving about it (laughs).

So, for those who like to drive and are air-cooled Porsche fans, the wet mode in the new 911 (992) is probably an unnecessary feature. It's kind of an amazing world. And so it was that the other day my husband

I've been thinking a lot about 930s and older 911s lately. Some of the air-cooled fans have been asking about theThe 964 is already not air-cooled.I hear there are some people who say that air-cooling is the best way to go, and I'd like to have a taste of what real air-cooling is like. I'd like to taste what real air-cooling is like.

He said.

My husband just set foot in the air-cooled demon world last November, but in less than half a year, he seems to have gone quite deep into the demon world... and soon, he will become an air-cooled demon world resident and become a "I'm off to overhaul my 911!I wonder if they will say something like "I'm sorry....

Well, air-cooled Porsche, you must be afraid of it.

    I drive a 964C2 and was able to ride with someone I met on FB in his 930SC.
    So I felt that for those who like mountain passes, it is not the 3.6L air-cooled or new water-cooled cars that can be driven happily with a light chassis and the appropriate power.
    As written, I think I understand your curiosity about the earlier 911 and 356.

      Mr. Kozzie 521
      So totally different from the 930SC and 964...!
      I am sure that my husband feels the same way as Kozzie, as he likes to drive on winding roads and mountain passes rather than on circuits, etc.

      I have no idea what to expect from a car like the 356, but I imagine it to be a car full of great charm.

    We would like you to try Narrow's lightweight flywheel.
    I used to drive a late 930 and the narrow is a completely different story.

      Narrow is completely different, the air-cooled rider said, and it really is.
      My husband says, "If this happens, I want to drive a 73 Carrera or something! So maybe that day will come in the future;
