Family drive with two Porsche 911 GT3 and Boxster

My Family's Car Life

GT3 and Boxster.

Now that I can finally drive my manual Boxster GTS, this past Sunday I took the kids to theWe decided to take the GT3 and Boxster to Ashiu Driveway.When I went up to the Ashiu observatory in July, I got a severe sunburn on my arms and décolleté because I didn't wear sunscreen.(Like this ↓)

In this issue, the "Face, arms, neck, décolleté lineI applied sunscreen as much as I could. I also bought a serious straw hat for agricultural use at a home improvement center.(At this point, we can't talk about the outfit.)

Actually, I'm not.The first time I drove the Boxster from my home to Ashiu Driveway completely on my own.But I thought I could manage to get there if I had my husband's GT3 following behind me.

However, the place where we started from the parking lot of our house was on a subtle slope, and the auto hold did not work, and when I took my foot off the brake, I fell back unexpectedly... My husband, who was watching from the outside, told me that he had to take my foot off the brake.

We almost hit the block behind us!

I was told, "I'm sorry, but I can't help it. I was glad I didn't get hit, but I was still nervous as I started the car.

However, since I was used to driving a manual car itself, I was able to drive surprisingly normally, and we arrived at the Ashiu observatory without stalling or breaking into a cold sweat along the way. Ho epsilon-(*)

Incidentally, on Twitter that day, he wroteThe car is full as of 7am!I was worried that there would be no place to park when we arrived after 8:00 a.m., but the parking lot was open at the right time.

The day was filled with reunions and many new encounters, including owners who had previously given us rides in their roadsters, Twitter followers, and followers of my husband's Instagram. Some of them were.

I found out on Twitter the day before that they were coming up to Ashiu with the Boxster and GT3, so I thought I'd be there for the memorable day when they came together for the first time (laughs).

(laughs) Thank you very much.

In addition, theFamous air-cooled ride owner who was also covered by 911DAYSI also had the pleasure of meeting him. In fact, he had been reading my blog for some time, and I knew him from various places where I had heard about him, so I was very pleased to see him.At last we meet!I was thrilled to be able to see the "new" in the world.

Ashiu Driveway Attractions

Once again, "Ashi is a good person.I really feel that the Ashiu Driveway is a great place to live. By the way, I received this comment from a reader about Ashiu Driveway.

The roads are fun there. Motorcycle traffic is regulated on Sundays, so it is safe. It is not crowded until early morning around 11:00 a.m. because there are still few cars for sightseeing through to Arima.
To begin with, the traffic volume is low because of the relatively expensive toll road. Given the above.It is a great environment to drive as a driveway.And it helped, too.Many true car enthusiasts gather for the purpose of driving.(important laugh here)
If you get together with people who like to show off themselves as fashion icons or as people who like to drive, you will not be able to have a good conversation. In that sense, many of Ashiu's regulars like to drive and really like cars, so regardless of the type of car or age, we can have a good time talking about cars, and everyone is very accepting.
That's the image of WWW.

And.

Exactly exactly exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What an accurate analysis! It is not that having a car as a fashion icon is wrong, but that there are many different types of car lovers out there.Ashiu attracts people who are moderate, well mannered, and genuinely like cars and driving.I think they are comfortable and comfortable talking to each other because of the

    Mina, nice to meet you!
    I always enjoy reading your blog!

    I am a Subaru party, so I am very interested in the Porsche party couple's impressions of Subaru cars: ......
    If you have a chance, please drive the current WRX STI and give us a review of the last car equipped with the famous EJ20 engine. m(_ _)m

      Wow what a !!!! What a godly offer!!!!
      Are you sure you are sure!

      In fact, we have received comments from readers that "the WRX STI is so much fun!" and we have received comments that
      Also, my brother is a Subarist, so I have been very interested in this for some time.

      My husband had driven a WRX STI once and said it was very interesting.
      May I take your word for it?

      If you'd like, I'd be happy to enter through your blog's contact page and we can communicate via email.

    Sorry, I wrote this in a very confusing way, even though I don't drive one myself, I just know the appeal of them through borrowing them and test driving them at dealers, etc. ......

    Actually, like Mina, I was not interested in cars at all. When I bought my first car by myself, I did a lot of research and got hooked on the fascination of cars, and at that time I discovered the fascination of Subaru. I ended up purchasing the current Impreza G4.
    But I regret it a little because the G4 is a very nice car, very well built as a vehicle, but not as much fun as a car.

    So I'm thinking of buying an STI as a replacement, but I'm not sure whether to buy the next model or the current one. ......

    We are considering buying the car for now, so we would like to invite Mina and Hiro to ride in the car when it is delivered. m(*_ _)m

    I apologize for the lengthy and confusing writing style.
    Looking forward to more of your blogs!

      Sorry! I completely misunderstood and misjudged you.
      Sorry about that...!

      After all, a well-made car as a vehicle and a
      Fun cars are different...!

      If you readers ever get a chance to take me for a ride or a test drive, I'd love to hear from you.
      I'll definitely try to get on it.

      And if you do buy it, I'd be happy to take your word for it and give you a ride!
      I am sorry too.

      Thank you for your continued support!

    Since the topic of STI's came up, I'm sorry to interrupt. it's been about 4 months (3500km) since I started driving an STI. The Panamera Hybrid is almost 10 months old (10,000 km). I used to drive a manual car for almost 10 years, so I assume that I should have no problem with basic operation of shifting and clutch... I don't say that STI is difficult to drive, but I feel that it is very interesting because it gives a totally different ride depending on how you match the revs, gas pedal work and steering wheel, heal and toe. I find it very interesting. The American-made EJ is 2.5L, (310hp, 393N-m), which seems to be slightly different from the EJ20 (308hp, 422Nm), but the torque drops considerably when the rpm is lowered, so if you exit a corner in a gear that keeps the rpm around 3000, the next acceleration will be pleasant. You can go out of the corner in the gear that keeps the rpm at around 3000 rpm. The EJ is an older design, so at worst, it has the old-fashioned "thumping" turbo element, but this is what makes it so fun to drive. The suspension is stiff. The difference is especially large compared to the air suspension of the Panamera. I think this has the biggest impact on the forgiveness. On American roads with poor pavement, even on highways, STI's stiffer Bilstein suspension makes me cringe, especially in corners. That is interesting. If you have a chance, please try it. You won't regret your purchase. But it is not a hit with my family. I don't mind it though:)

    I haven't been able to try the 911 or Boxster manual yet, so I can't compare it to those, but I imagine that it is more stable, more secure and more forgiving when driving. This is because the Panamera Hybrid is completely different compared to the STI, and it is very easy and fast. If Porsche is building a car based on a similar concept, I think it will be similar in that area. (Mina, what do you think?) Simply how fast can you turn the same corner without fear? I mean, where I can turn at 100km/hr in a Panamera, it is about 95km/hr in an STI. I think this is due to both the fact that I can't handle the STI and the Panamera's superior tolerance and stability. Of course, it is out of line to compare cars with completely different tires, car prices, and concepts on the same playing field, but... I think the STI can drive and turn comfortably on well-maintained Japanese roads without anxiety.
    I hope to try a Boxster or 911 (preferably with a manual) soon...........................

    That said, I would love to eventually drive a 911 plug-in hybrid. But it looks like it won't be out for a while. I want a Porsche hybrid to target the 919, not the Prius, so I'll wait until then!

      Mr. SN.

      Oh oh oh... !!!!
      How detailed and clear...!!!!!
      Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information!

      It is not so easy to find people who know both Porsche and STI.
      Real valuable information.

      >The Panamera Hybrid is completely different compared to the STI because it is so much easier and faster. If Porsche is building a car with a similar concept, I would expect it to be similar in that area. (Mina, what do you think?)

      The Panamera is really well done, or rather too well done.
      There is a sense that if you leave yourself in the Panamera, it will do whatever you want it to do.

      It's also a good thing that Porsche drivers are gradually going back in time to air-cooling.
      I guess the fun of handling it yourself, or the fact that it depends on the skill of the driver, is what makes it so appealing...
      Sorry, that doesn't answer my question at all.

      911 Hybrid, when is it coming out!
      Before that, I'm also a little curious about Taikan (laughs).

    Thank you very much!
    I went up to Ashiari this morning and was able to say hello to her husband.

    Next time! I'd love to talk to you.

      Good morning!

      Oooh, you got to meet my husband yesterday!
      In the morning, we said we would not go because it was cloudy and rain clouds were likely to come, but it gradually cleared up, so my husband just went to Ashiu...
      I came back saying, "There were so many cars!

      I am also planning to go to Ashiu in September, so I would be very happy to see you again ^^.
      Thank you for your continued support!
