Looking back on the Porsche blog

2021 is about to end. Every year "One year is so fastBut this year was a long one, a short one ... it was a mysterious year.

Today's article will be the last one I'll write this year, so I'd like to take a look back at what I've done since I launched this blog.

As many of you may know, this Porsche blog was opened because I loved Panamera.

At that time, there was a 970 Panamera edition in my house, and I praise it every time I ride, so from my husband

If you like Panamera so much, why not write it on your blog?

I decided to see it for the first time with a light feeling.

Therefore, the domain of this blog is "panaemera-life".

Now that I think about it.porsche-lifeI should have set it to ", but at that time I never imagined that the blog would spread so much.

Actually, after the blog was opened, there was a period of several months when I could hardly update the article. that is,As the number of accesses increases, messages and comments from people who are familiar with carsIs increasing.

"I'm a complete amateur about cars, I just write with the feeling that I like Panamera, but I do not know what to write anymore."

I felt that, and the brush stopped.

However, even when the blog was not updated, the access did not drop, so "This seems to be an interesting development if you put it seriouslyMy feelings changed, and with the cooperation of my husband, the blog management of the three-legged race started, and it continues to this day.

This year, as a new attempt, we started the Twitter space.

Every Saturday from 21:00 to 1 hour, the couple talks about their car life in the form of a loose radio program.

Initially"What to talk about for an hourHowever, when I started talking, it took an hour in a blink of an eye, and recently I haven't had enough time lol.

It's a really awesome car!

Thank you to the owner for taking it. And thank you to everyone who is looking forward to listening every week for a year.

This year, the influence of blogs is getting bigger and bigger,It was a year that made me think about the transmission.More than before, I began to write more carefully, such as how to choose words and confirm the facts.

My husband always says that he wants to write frank opinions because he is a personal blog, not a car critic who rents a car from a manufacturer and reviews it. Although,

"Each person has his or her own taste for cars. And every car has different characteristics and charms. I hope that the owners of this car all over the country will not be offended by my own judgment and prejudice. I wish I could write it. "

He said.

Even so, we are also amateurs, and sometimes we make mistakes.I should have written more like thisI look back on it later and run a blog every day through trial and error.

Meanwhile, when my husband happened to go up to the Ashi Driveway yesterday,Meet the owner who is riding the 996 GT3 for the first timeWhen I told him that he was running a blog, he said that.

Are you the one who wrote that blog!
Actually, my father, who loves cars, is a big fan of this blog, and I was looking forward to updating it every day and read it.
Unfortunately my dad died the other day, but I often say "This was written!I was happy to send you the link. I'm glad to meet you.

And.

I haven't been able to update it like before, but listening to that story made my heart warm.

Our couple,The blog that I run while saying that it is neither uh nor this is someone's secret daily pleasure.I'm really happy.

I wonder if yesterday's encounter was due to the fact that my father in heaven brought me together.

My husband's car friends who took care of me this year, everyone I met at Ashi, everyone who was with me on touring, dealers, Mr. H, who is in charge of Porsche dealers at my home, who always cares for me, 1 Thank you very much for the year.

I'm thinking of going to Ashi from time to time next year, so please continue to say "Porsche has come to my house" in 2022.

Have a Happy New Year!
