Riding an air-cooled 911 (964C2)

Since my mother-in-law was visiting me at home during the New Year's holiday, my husband and I decided to take this opportunity to go out to practice driving a car together, so we started withBoxster MT practiceand the day after that, in an air-cooled 911 (964C2), we decided to go for a run.

I don't say practice, just go for a normal, fun run, but last year, II went running right after the 911 was delivered.The time was.More difficult than fun.I was left with the impression that I didn't feel like I could handle it. However, afterwards, my husband told me, "911 is really fun, so run and practice a lot more!I was told to keep going, so I decided to go for driving practice so that I could taste the fun of RR driving.

Go to Sundabruck Link

On that day, my husband was

If you're up for it, let's go run the Sundable Clink!

He said. "I've heard of Nara Nyulu, but there's also Sundable Clink!When I hear the word

No... no... I'm just saying it on my own (-_-)

And then, "What the heck is that? So, off we went.

Driving a 911 for the first time in a long time. The weight of the steering wheel, the hardness of the brakes, the weight of the doors, the mechanical sound of the engine, the smell inside the car, the manual operation of the lights in tunnels....I remember when air-cooling was like this...I drove the car, thinking, "I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do this. My husband was in a

I have driven about 3,000 km since delivery and the engine turns over very well. It was harder before, but now it is softer and the engine runs better. It's as if Grandpa's rehabilitation is over and he's back on track.

He said, indeed, if you ask me, that may be true.

There was a lot of traffic that day, and the mountain road leading to Sanda was not as easy to drive as I would have liked, but about 30 minutes after we left, the number of cars dwindled and we were finally able to drive. And thenAs we approached an uphill mountain road with moderate curves, my husband said to me.

The 911 is RR and has a heavy butt, so we're going to use that characteristic while driving.Load transfer and axle work are key.I'm sure it is. I ease off the gas pedal before entering a corner, and when the car turns around the curve, I step on the gas pedal. If you do that, the car will turn smoothly and smoothly.

I did as I was told, but at first it didn't go as well as I wanted... I tried to do as I was told, but at first it didn't go as well as I wanted...

Your shoulders are too tight! Your handling is too stiff!"
You're slow on the gas pedal!"
Use the accelerator more smoothly!"

I was told that I would be able to enjoy the feeling of the car, but I gradually began to get a sense of what it was like. Indeed, this is something that cannot be experienced in a Boxster or Panamera, and is something that can only be experienced in a RR car... It was a lot of fun when I was able to make a turn with my butt in a tight circle rather than turning as if I was being pushed.

My husband, too.

Yes, yes, yes! That's the feeling!

but after about 15 minutes there, I started to feel more and more lightheaded.

What's wrong? The light car in front of us is pulling away.

and her husband.

.... Really.

."Oh man, I was thinking about load shifting and gas pedal work the whole time I was driving, and I'm getting tired and dizzy.I say."

What is it? Why do I always get tired so quickly (-_-)?

Six years ago, when I started driving to graduate from being a paper driver for about 10 years, I was amazed at the fact that I could drive for so long.I was insanely tired just from the 15 minute drive to and from the local supermarket.but it's kind of like that time (explosion). I am a fairly physically fit person, but when it comes to driving a car, I may still be quite nervous.

After that, my husband took over driving and we decided to head home. My husband said, "The Sundabruk rink is a great place to run air-cooled cars, as there are almost no cars and the roads are clean!" and that is exactly what happened on this day as well.

There are country roads, mountain passes, beautiful straights...you can enjoy a variety of roads just in this neighborhood. Also, my husband says that the Sundabulk Link North Course (W) can go around and around for a long time, and he never gets tired of it even if he drives all day long. On this day, too, my husband was

Sundabble clink is soooo good!

He was again impressed.

Here's another.Cafe Seven in Tsukigase, Nara PrefectureIt would be nice if there were cafes where car enthusiasts could gather, such as Although there were soba noodle shops and small cafes where motorcycle riders gathered.

Analog goodness, air-cooled 911

I filled up on the way home, but since the 911 has a gas tank in front of it, "IFilling up with gasoline makes the front heavier and more stable.My husband said, "You know what? It's the little things that make a difference.

This time I rode air-cooled and ran and found that "theI feel a sense of directness in many areas.I thought again, "This is a very nice car. The engine sound is a mechanical noise, not as loud as a modern water-cooled Porsche, but on the contrary, the analog feeling is addictive. It is true that "the latest Porsche is the best Porsche" and I am impressed every time I drive it, but I can't enjoy this analog feeling.

Also, I noticed something else for the first time when I got in this time. That is the round sticker on the door handle.

."What's this?I asked my husband, "What do you mean?

The stickers are fluorescent. Even at night or in the dark, you can tell where the door handle is because of the glowing sticker.

And.

...and how analogous (;)!

I know it glows in the dark, but it's the kind of thing you could sell for 100 yen a hundred or so... I'll pursue the running, but as far as this place is concerned, "It's already a sticker, and it has nothing to do with running (-_-).I wonder if he said "I don't know"....

And so, once again...I am thankful for every day that I am able to drive an air-cooled Porsche 911, Panamera, and Boxster. I am also thankful for the readers who read this article, which is written in Kansai dialect, on a daily basis. Let's drive many Porsches this year!

Incidentally, my husband took the liberty of saying from the beginning, "SundabulklinkHere is the course of the "Mere Old Man". It was a really nice road.(Just like the Nürburgring, the map was made by dividing it into the north course and the full course.)
