Husband's Porsche Touring

My husband is a self-confessed car enthusiast and driver.Go touringThere is one thing you must do before you start. That is "preliminary research of the route. It may sound obvious, but my husband's preliminary checks are very careful.

Because it is not simply a matter of getting to your destination as quickly as possible.How to drive comfortably in a Porsche and choose good roads.This is because the "I" is important.

For example, "theGoing touring next Sunday.When I decided, "I'm going to do this," the first thing I did was to read the touring maples, and my husband said, "I'm going to do this."I think he's the one touring in a Porsche the most in Japan!I have a lot of respect for you.WATA, a Boxster driverblogs and checking Google Maps, which lists the roads I have traveled in the past, to think about the route I will take.

Also, depending on whether you are driving a 911 Cabriolet (992), Boxster GTS (981), or air-cooled Porsche 911 (964) (or a GT3 when there used to be a 911 GT3), the speed range and characteristics of the road you can comfortably drive on will also change, so we carefully We carefully studied the route.

I saw him prepare carefully for various things.That's amazing... I wouldn't do something like that!My husband said, "I'm not a

Because we were going to drive our Porsche to a place where we normally cannot go for a drive, it would be meaningless if we did not choose a road that is pleasant to drive on. If you are just traveling by passenger car, you don't need to do that much research, but since you are going in a sports car, it is only natural that you should prepare yourself to drive on pleasant roads to your heart's content.
Later on, we'll use the term "Oh, there was that road too, but I couldn't get there.I don't want to regret it.
Of course, in running the "Oh, I think I'm going to enjoy this road.I sometimes go off the route because I think it's too dangerous, but I tend to drive on the roads I've researched.

He said.

That's great... I'm a civilian, so I don't think I'd want to research a route that far, even when I'm going for a long distance run, for example, and I'm like, "I hope we can drive beautiful roads there.I think about it only to the extent that I think, "I'll do whatever it takes..." and not with a strong feeling of "whatever it takes...".

Also, in my case, when I go on a long drive somewhere with my family, my priority is to prepare my three children (diapers, change of clothes, goods to keep them occupied at the destination, etc...), so I can't really think of anything else to do on the road.

...I mean, I'm a big rain woman.I just checked the good roads and it's probably going to rain or storm hard anyway...I've also given up a lot (laughs).

Touring is Entertainment

For preliminary research of the route in advance, my husband always looks at "Touring Maple", a map for motorcyclists.

."Why would you dare look at a motorcyclist's map?I've heard that before."

This is because this is the only map that I have found so far that describes "good roads. Maps for cars have a "destination" and introduce routes to places with beautiful scenery or restaurants with good lunches. Well, that is usually the case.
but that sort ofRoads to popular tourist spots usually have heavy traffic.In addition, the roads are not designed to be pleasant, so running on them is just a stressful experience.
I don't really care about the sights, because I go driving because I like to drive.Anyway, I want to know mainly "roads" that I can drive comfortably.I'm using Touring Maple as a reference for now because it's the best.
However, since the map is for motorcycles, there are some roads that are too narrow to go by car sometimes, so you need to be careful.

He said.

While listening to my husband's story, his preliminary examination of the route was like aPeople who go to Disneyland simulate in advance to visit the park efficiently and without wasting time.I felt that it was the same as the "I'm sorry.

For most people, going somewhere by car may be just a way to get around, but for my husband, touring isEntertainment as good as going to Disneyland.I guess it is.
