Default Yet, Another Road Trip Thread.....

The recent Road Trip threads inspire me to post ours (wifey and 2 small boys, age 4 and 7)…. NJ to Quebec, New Brunswick, Maine.... and not sure...

Saw the F1 race in Montreal with a couple of local RL members Ilko and Chsu74… what a great race!



Old Quebec



Somwhere in New Brunswick



Grand Falls





Hartland, covered bridge (worlds longest…claimed)







First Gothic Church in North America (Fredericton)



Its day 10 and have 12 more to go…. next stop, Prince Edward Island and St John…

Happy Fathers Day to all Dad's….. they grow fast, so take them out in the Porsche and make some memories that will last a lifetime

Ferdinand, happy father's day. What a great way to spend a vacation with your boys. My boys are 16 and 18....my daughter is 21. The boys have many fond memories of drives in the back of the Porsche. My youngest is now over 6 feet tall....with a roll bar it is a bit of a squeeze to fit the family now.
The pictures look fantastic. It loooks like a trip your kids will remember for the rest of their lives. You are a perfect example of why we love our 911s. Thanks for posting the pictures. Have fun and be careful.

Thanks Guys!

Marc... a rollbar? LOL, I see the aerokit has inspired you to slip a bit on the slope. Good for you!.... Enjoy....

BTW, the roll bar works... on long turns at the track, I can hear it squeak... must be doing something.

Your Porsche looks very happy when driven and dirty, filled with your family and having fun all around. I didn't see you in Maine though...I spent the day with my sons(32 and 30) and their wives and our 4 grandchildren taking boat rides to see the Pinta and Nina that are both docked in Portsmouth, NH until tomorrow. Thanks for the pics of your fantastic road trip.

Looks like a great trip. One question...

Where do you put luggage for 4 for 12 days in a 911? I'm really curious.

ahhhh, thats the trick.... kids uses gym bags so you can you can stuff them in the back (behind the seats) and the adults gets the frunk.... travelling light is the key. BTW its 22 days total.... There's alot of room actually and how you pack it helps alot.

Very nice Ferd! Enjoyed learning about photography and hanging out with your family for a week. I would go back to Quebec again in a heartbeat. Its just gorgeous in the summer with all the history... The side streets feel just like Europe in that town.
