My Family's Car Life

Ashiu Driveway Gathering

Last weekend, my husband was in the process ofParticipated in a morning gathering at Ashiari DrivewayI'm just saying that I'm going to do it.I decided to join with them for the first time in a long time.Since it was just around the time of cherry blossom viewing, my mother-in-law agreed to come to our house so that she could babysit us while we enjoyed the cherry blossoms.

In this issue, the "Child becomes ill the day beforeThe weather was not cooperating with our plans. The weekly weather forecast had been "fine" all week.I'm going to Ashiu!" After I decided to go to Ashiu, the forecast for that afternoon changed to rain.The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.

...No really, how much of a rain woman are you (-_-)

Early morning departure for Ashiu

We were to head out in an air-cooled 911 (964C2) for the day. We were to meet at 8:30 a.m., so we had to leave relatively early, but the girls were in a good mood from the morning, so we managed to get ready and off we went. After removing the body cover and warming up the engine a little, we got into the air-cooled 911.

And then there's "If the Porsches are going to rally, we're going to have to go with this buck!I thought, "I'll bring my Porsche Design bag.(I bought it but have only used it about 3 times.)

The road leading to Ashiu was very beautiful with cherry blossoms in bloom.

However.When we entered Ashiyu Driveway, as expected, the cherry blossoms were not yet in full bloom at all.I guess around here, the cherry blossoms will not be in bloom for a long time. And since the delivery of the carMy husband, who is training to improve his RR driving skills, is driving even better than before.I felt as if I had been there.

8" in the carWe'll meet at 5:30 p.m., but everyone will be coming from far away, so they'll probably be late.When we slowly arrived at the East Rokko Observation Deck, there were already a tremendous number of supercars and sports cars...!

There's nowhere to park (*_*)!

Today, we are going to discuss the "Sunny forecast only in the morning and the season is good, so there will be more cars than usual.I had thought that there would be a lot of cars, but I had no idea there would be so many.... The morning of a car enthusiast really comes early.

Moreover, they are all famous cars, old and new.

GT3RS.(And it was the PCCB!)...

The bright blue Cayman GT4 and...

Some of them even 356...!

While safely meeting up with his friends, he had previously attended the Ashi Ari gathering this time.981 Boxster Black Edition, introduced in Porsche Owner's File.The owners of the "TheFirst time I've ever been to Ashi Ari on a Sunday morning!He seemed more excited than ever.

718 Boxster GTS

In the meantime.718 Boxster GTS (MT), which I introduced in my blog before.The owner of the company arrived.

Well, it's cool...the sharpness of the headlights, the silhouette...really cool.

After greeting the guests, he said, "I encourage you and your wife to drive it today!I was told that I could drive, but I was afraid of doing something to someone's MT car, so my husband decided to let me drive first.(My husband used to only ride in the passenger seat.)

I sat in the passenger seat and got to experience the driving experience of the 718 Boxster GTS, but as soon as my husband started the car, he said, "I'm not sure I'm going to be able to drive this car.I knew it was totally different from the 981!I was very excited with the 718 Boxster GTS test drive review.(Husband's opinion)I would like to introduce the following separately.

Then, after about 10 minutes of driving up the Ashiu Driveway and back to the observation deck, my husband said this to me.

I don't think you should do this, Mina-chan. You'd better get used to driving a manual transmission car, or you'll break the clutch.

And...well...it's someone's precious GTS. I see...well, it's someone's precious GTS, so it's rude to drive it with no confidence in MT driving.Even just riding in the passenger seat, I could feel the difference from the 981.So that's good.

718 than 981."Very smooth and smooth when going around curvesThe ride was very good, with a "good" and very comfortable ride. The engine sound was, of course, different from that of the 981, but one could experience a very pleasant sound when the low-pitched, air-cooled-like engine sound was turned up to high rpm.

After that, although I didn't drive, I was allowed to step on the clutch in the driver's seat of the 718 because I was so excited (laughs).

Clutch is lighter than the 981 and seems to be easier for women to operateI felt as if I had been there.

My Boxster in white with a red top is cool, but a Boxster with a black body color and a red top is also cool.

The owner said.The car I own must be black.The red leather interior is also the owner's passion.(It is said that the red color of the dashboard reflects off the windshield, making it difficult to see, but apparently this was not a problem on this day.)

Since the delivery of the car, he said he has been busy and hasn't been able to ride the car very often.Just washing the car and looking at it makes me so happy!He said, "I am very happy. Hearing those words made me very happy.

Cars are great.

Good people gather in Ashiu.

After that.We took pictures of each other's cars, test-drove each other's cars, and exchanged information with other owners.and had a very enjoyable and meaningful time.

I used to be a little intimidated by the Ashiu driveway.(I wondered if I, an amateur with no experience of owning my own car, would be allowed to go there, since all the luxury cars were there...)Everyone was really nice and there was an atmosphere of peace and cheerfulness.

The owner of a 981 Boxster Black Edition, who participated in the Ashiari Morning Gathering for the first time, said, "I was very happy to be here.So much fun!!! Would love to come back!He said with a big smile.

Later, after 10:00, the sports cars and supercars began to leave here and there, and with them, more and more family cars started to arrive. I see...That's why all you sports cars are active early in the morning, before the families start moving.

My wife and I then left the East Rokko Observation Deck around 11:00 a.m. and returned home.


(Cool the engine, brush off the dirt, and cover the body with a body cover.)

After all this fun, it was not even midnight when I got home...What a healthy hobby!I would love to go back! Thank you to everyone who helped me this time!

    Dear Mina

    Hello, nice to meet you!
    I always enjoy reading your blog.
    This spring, I also became a Porsche owner, which I had longed for, and I realized that my 981 Boxster GTS is the same model as that owned by Mr. and Mrs. Mina, which makes me feel close to them.
    Due to his work, he really wanted a Porsche, but was unable to purchase and then maintain it.
    I finally settled down at work, bought a Porsche as soon as I could, and am happily spending my days feeling the spring weather (^^).
    No matter how many times I drive, I am most excited when I go to see my car and start it up (laughs).
    I also go to Ashiu Driveway, so if you have a chance, please let me know. m(_ _)m

      Aki.
      Nice to meet you. Thank you for visiting my blog.

      >I am now a Porsche owner, which I have longed for, and the model is a 981 Boxster GTS.

      Oh congratulations !!!!!
      And what is a 981 Boxster GTS? !!!! It feels great to drive a Boxster this time of year.

      >No matter how many times I ride, I am most excited when I go to see my car and start it up (laughs).
      My husband also says that no matter how many times he rides it, he is impressed every day, so much so that he can hear it in his ears (laugh).
      I thought the expression "going to see my car" was also very nice and full of love for cars.

      We hope to see you when you come to Ashiu.
      And if you would allow me to take a picture of the two 981 Boxster GTS side by side...lol

      Thank you for your continued support!

    I was very curious.

    I'd better get used to driving a manual transmission car or I'll break the clutch.
    What does that mean? What does it also mean that a 981GTS is okay and a 718GTS is bad?

    • Mina.Mina.

      PorscheDreamer.

      Thank you for everything!

      >What do you mean by "I'll break the clutch if I don't get used to driving a MT car more"? And what does it mean that it's okay for a 981GTS and not okay for a 718GTS?

      I'm just guessing since we haven't had this conversation since then about the
      I can handle the worst case scenario of breaking the clutch on my 981, but not on someone else's Boxster, so don't drive someone else's with your current manual transmission driving skills.
      I wonder if that was the case.

      However, I was so frustrated that I decided to buy myself a manual transmission car this year to practice, though not a Porsche (lol).
      (I'll try to post it on my blog tomorrow!)

  3. possible

    It is possible.

    Thank you for posting these beautiful pictures.
    In this way, it looks cool even though it is my car.
    It may be a little out of the standard Porsche color, but I am satisfied that it looks pretty good.

    As with any car, it takes some effort to successfully connect an unfamiliar clutch.
    I too was embarrassed the first time I stalled at an intersection.
    My previous M5 had paddle shifters and the only manual at home was a light truck.
    As I said, comparing the MT of a light truck to that of a Porsche is 。。。。。。

    I am greatly attracted to women who can drive MT cars well. A senior (female) in college was a member of the automobile club.
    It was cool to see him driving a MT Laurel (a car favored by motorists in those days), smoothly driving along the mountain roads of Rokko at night.
    Good luck!

      Thank you too!
      Black body color and red interior is still pretty cool, once again!

      I still feel that a Porsche MT car is difficult.
      It has a lot of torque and the clutch feels heavy, so the feeling is different from that of a normal car....

      I'm going to have to buy myself a manual transmission car and practice hard for a while.
      On top of that, I would like to be able to drive various MT vehicles.

      I'm sure I'll be back in Ashiu again, so please keep up the good work!

    Nice to meet you.
    I always read your blog in secret, and I was wondering if I could learn a lot about MT, thinking that our family's car configuration is similar to that of my son and I (we couldn't let go of our Golf, lol).

    As a person who does not have a social networking service or a blog, and who is not registered as an owner, I felt that there was no way I could tell you about it, but today, when I was looking at the pictures of Ashi Ari, I found my orange in the corner, and I was so happy that I finally decided to comment.

    You don't have to think too much about the clutch.
    The only difference is whether it is your clutch or someone else's clutch.
    I have about 60,000 km on my commuter (Avapun Evo) and only about 6,000 on the GT3, but the clutch is fine now unless I make an extreme mis-shift.

    I hope to see you driving BM's MT in Ashiari again in all its glory.

    My apologies.

    • Mina.Mina.

      Mr. TONO.
      Thank you for visiting my blog!
      He said that we have very similar car configurations, and even though we have never met, I somehow feel very close to him (laughs).

      Oh, is that 911 perched in the back of the Ashiari photo?
      Is this the GT3?

      >We don't have to think too much about clutches, do we?
      >I think the only difference is whether it is your clutch or someone else's clutch.

      I see...you don't have to be so careful.
      Certainly, if it were a modern car's MT instead of an old MT, the performance would be improved and we would not have to be so careful.
      (I guess I'm just too mentally jittery.......) ^^;)

      I've heard many rumors that Abarth is a fun car as well, so I'm curious.

      The delivery date of the BMW has not been confirmed yet, but we are looking forward to riding around in it when it arrives at our house.
      I will do my best to run through the Ashiu area as quickly as possible.

      We hope to see you again in Ashiu.
      Thank you for your continued support!
