Time for a New Porsche

August 31, 2011

Got my ticket through the email for this Porsche Panamera Scotland trip next week. I’m quite looking forward to driving the diesel, hybrid and Turbo Panameras on some open country roads, and soaking up some Scottish light.

I was deleting some Youtube vids just now and got watching this one again. Sarah shot it when we picked up the Orange in Switzerland from GeorgeK. I’ll never forget that weekend; what a crazy time. We had a good drive there and back, although it was a looong way to go in two days. [...]
