Another nice Speedhunters Porsche story.

It's always fun reading about people's first drive in a 964. Plus, look at all those wonderful Speedhunters pictures!

I like this quote...
"Piloting the car, I stared to wonder if any progress has been made at all in the past 20 years. Why don’t cars feel like this any more? With each passing year, they get fatter, heavier and surround the driver with all manner of computer aids. With each model upgrade, manufacturers have gradually removed the direct mechanical experience and replaced it with something more akin tothat of a virtual reality simulation of car driving. Safer yes, and perhaps faster, but also far more sterile."

 

I like that quote too. It captures my feelings as well.

 

^^^^ So true.

FF to the 3:30 mark, then I dare you not to go back and watch from the start.
Love a good Cars and Coffee, thanks for sharing Jetta-


Edit: sorry for the tangent, but that quote is so true, it reminded me of that what that designer said in the youtube video. Between Gov't regulations and technology overload, the joy of driving (man, machine and the road) is becoming extinct.

 

Back at you. Wonderful video.
A '64 would be a dream

 

I also commented among that quote, after driving this car nothing else really feels the same. Wish more of the pictures were wallpaper sized.

 

Nice find mate

 

My favorite 911 in one of my favorite colors..drool!

 

My former boss used the expression "Cars with no soul" -- I think we've got far too many of those myself!

 

This beauty is owned by the lucky Richard from KW. Lovely!

 

Very cool!
