Bringing Our Son Home A few days ago, I shared the news that I had given birth to our third child, a baby boy. A few days later, it was finally time to leave the hospital. Because of COVID restrictions, my husband hadn’t been allowed to attend the birth or visit us during our stay, so this would be his first chance to meet our son.

On a beautiful day, my husband decided to take a casual drive on Royu Driveway. There, he came across a 911 Turbo, hit it off with its owner, and they took turns driving each other’s cars.

A Porsche GT3 Track Day Last year, I joined Porsche Club Japan, Porsche’s official owners’ club. I’ve never been one for group activities—I much prefer my own company—so this kind of thing doesn’t usually appeal to me. Still, I’ve made an exception and joined the club. This was my...
My husband fitted silver rings around the speedometers in our GT3 and Boxster, and wrote about the upgrade. We hope you enjoy reading about it. Gauge Rings for a Porsche When Porsche unveiled the one-millionth 911, I remember being struck by its elegant wood interior and the gleaming chrome rings around the gauges.

Considering a Porsche 911 GT3 I often receive messages on the blog and Twitter from people asking for advice about buying a car. Recently, my husband got a similar question through his personal social media account: ・I currently own a 718 Cayman GTS ・I’m thinking about trading it in for a GT3 soon ・Could you tell me what you like and don’t like about the GT3? That sort of thing. Whenever someone gets in touch...

Rediscovering the Porsche 911 GT3 Lately, I’ve been getting behind the wheel of the GT3 about once a month. Every time, it brings back that familiar thrill—“Yes, this is exactly how it feels!”—along with new moments of discovery: “I never realized it could be this appealing!” Porsche, and the GT3 in particular, really is a car with remarkable depth.

An External Flash for the Camera A little while ago, my husband bought an external flash for the digital SLR camera he already owns. He says it lets him take brighter, sharper photos than he could without one, making it easier to get great shots indoors in low light or at night. It looked like the kind of gear a professional photographer would use, so I asked him, “Why on earth did you buy that?”...
