Going on a long trip, any tips?
#17
On a more serious note: I am also planning to do a holiday trip in our 964 C4 Convertible. We are worried however that luggage space is not sufficient as we plan to take our tent and (light) camping gear.
Any ideas on how to increase luggage space, and no I don't want a trailer...

Well, you can certainly consider one of those decklid racks like on the old 356 tubs!??
Seriously, with a cabrio, you cannot have a roof rack...so I'm afraid it's not the best model to go on a vacation in.
SO, other than bungee-cording a suitcase to your rear spoiler...I dunno what you could do.

There's as much space as a coupe nearly; it's amazing how much you can get in if you try hard enough! (door pockets, glove box, etc)

i love gadgets!!!
i was introduced to g.p.s for my boat and believe me i tried them all.
you could spend $1000 on talking garmin which tells you where to bo but i found a magellan map unit for about $200. i take it every where. i does not only show you accurate speed but also ave and e.t.a times and distance left to go.
i plan my trip with differnet target points(waypoints) and it helps by breaking up the trip in small incriments.
having just done a 1750 mile trip alone ask me how i know.
if any one needs advise i will be glad to help.
cheers

B.T.W: You guys have not got a clue what crime is go and visit south-africa and try and drive a nice car with doors unlocked and windows open.
leave your gun at home in the safe

Spare motronic Brain (really optional)
2 cans fix a flat
collaspable spare

Fuel pump
Duct Tape (fixed my kill switch shorting out on the Neg terminal of my battery problem - never leave home w/o it)
random fuses - bulbs etc
V1 (actually 2 of them, 1 as a spare)

Bear Tracker thingiee (totally useless btw)
Spare lug for the wheels
Tire gauge

PoorscheC2, you would be well advised to take a trailer so that you have somewhere to put all the things you need to take with you. Make sure you have a spare for the trailer.
