Excellent drive down to Essen Techno Classica today in a new 997 C4S, on loan from Porsche UK.
Saturated in all Senses
The weather was awful most of the way through Belgium and into Netherlands, then Germany, so absolutely perfect for the all-wheel-drive 911. Tonight has been dry, so hopefully will stay that way, as I am trying to find some more work to do while at the show!
I’m down here with TwinSparkRacing.com partner, Leonard Stolk. Great work chat over a few beers tonght with Leonard, who is not gone on the Speed Yellow colour of the C4S. I can’t say it would have been my first choice either, but it does grow on you from inside the cockpit. After today, I like it even more; there’s no missing Speed Yellow with xenon lamps.
The Weather Outside is Frightful...
The road trip is part of an upcoming 911 & Porsche World magazine feature. Getting some great fun pics with this car, and top MPG also. 32 to the gallon on the way down – seem to think I’d done well over 120 litres of 95 RON in the orange car by now last year.
Suffice to say I am loving it. More data later!

Nice. Great color too. Enjoy the bumblebee, I'll be looking forward to TC-Essen pics.
Great colour – has really grown on me. Didn't take that many Essen shots, but got enough for a few blog posts
HI can you give me any info about the black carrera on page 41 of issue 84 [ 997 to essen?] . Also any info on if this car is for sale.
Thank You
Alan Hunt
Was for sale Alan, but at Essen show prices and over a year ago. Will be long gone by now.
