Testing the Porsche 911 GT3 at Okayama International Circuit

My husband recently took the GT3 out for a spin at Okayama International Circuit. He wrote up his impressions, so please have a look if you’re interested. Heading to the Track with the GT3 Since last year, we’ve been members of the official Porsche owners’ club, Porsche Club Japan. Normally, I’m not a fan of group activities—I prefer being on my own—so joining something like this is unusual for me. That said, this was my...

Silver Meter Rings Installed on Porsche 911 GT3 and Boxster GTS

My husband installed silver meter rings on the speedometers of our GT3 and Boxster, and he wrote an article about it. Please have a look if you’re interested.

What I Learned About the Porsche 911 GT3’s Charms After One Year of Ownership

Once Again, the Porsche 911 GT3 Lately, I’ve been driving the GT3 about once a month, and each time I get behind the wheel, I’m struck by the feeling of “Yes, this is it!” and a fresh wave of amazement thinking, “So this is another side of its charm!” It really makes me realize how profoundly deep Porsche is as a brand, and how truly special the GT3 is as a car.

Photographing the Porsche 911 GT3 and Nightscapes｜How to Capture Cars and Night Views Be...

External Camera Flash A little while ago, my husband purchased an external flash to attach to his current digital SLR camera. By using this external flash, he can take brighter, sharper photos than usual, making it possible to capture beautiful pictures even indoors or at night. It feels like professional gear, so I asked him, “Why did you buy something like that?” Until now, photos of our beloved car under cloudy skies or in shadowy...

Attaching Grill Badges to Our Porsche 911 GT3 and Air-Cooled 964

Porsche Grill Badges The other day, a package arrived from overseas addressed to my husband. When we opened it, inside was a Porsche grill badge. Now that I think about it, I’ve seen Porsches with these badges at the Royu Driveway observatory before. When I asked my husband about it, he said he had often seen Porsches with these badges on social media and thought, “That’s so cool, I want one on my Porsche too.”...

Today’s Porsche 911 GT3｜My First Night Drive

Porsche 911 GT3, Night Drive The other day, I had a reason to take the GT3 out at night, and my husband said, “If you’re just driving around the neighborhood, the engine won’t warm up properly before you’re done, so why not take it for a longer drive?” Taking him up on his suggestion, I decided to enjoy a little drive in the GT3. I thought, “Even if I’m just going for a short drive,...

Recording the Engine Sound of the Porsche 911 GT3

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...

Finally Getting the Hang of the Porsche 911 GT3!

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....
