Valentine story from Porsche

From an article published in the 382 issue of Christophorus

February 14, 2020.

Since it is Valentine's Day, the article published in Porsche magazine Christophorus No. 382 was reposted on the Porsche official website as a story of Valentine's Day, so I took a look.

It is a story of Porsche love ^ ^

Valentine's Day special: Journey through Time

The story of "singularly long-lived love affair with his Porsche" about how Bill MacEachern has loved Porsche.

He first tried the Porsche 911 in 1970. The bright red Porsche 911T.

* The Japanese translation on the Porsche Japan site says "I got the Porsche 911 T for the first time", but the original text says "test-driving a Porsche for the first time in 1970—a red 911 T". Because of that, I think that I'm probably only doing a test drive, so I'm using that.

After that, when he saw the Porsche 930 Turbo, which was on sale, he couldn't think of anything other than that car.

In the end, I ended up buying a midnight blue Porsche 930 Turbo. I asked myself, "Can I be happy with my life with other models?" And "I can't be happy with other models."

"MacEachern was in love. For all time.". Yes, he fell in love with his Porsche 930 Turbo. eternally.

Ah, I don't understand, I don't understand.

No, I know that it is very unpleasant for a new Porsche like me to say "I understand", but I still sympathize with "was in love, for all time".

1973 0 km

The year he ordered the Porsche 911 Turbo.

1976 23 km

The car came from Germany in May 1976.

It's been 3 years since the order was placed? ?? It had a serial number, and it was the 350th number in the Porsche 930 production.

When he saw his Porsche 930 Turbo at the time of the first delivery, he was disappointed that "that color is different".

But that was because the car was covered with dust because of the long trip. You can see how many things took time in the distant past.

4,312 km

When the Porsche 930 weighed 4,312 kg, he married a woman named Lyse. What is amazing is that I properly recorded (I was watching) the number of kilometers traveled when I got married ^ ^ Porsche is too love ~.

1978 13,800 km

Around this time, his son began to help his business, and he is now the junior CEO.

In the same year, the second son participated in the Porsche 935 race and won the championship. The feelings of Porsche and racing from his father are passed down to the next generation.

1981 88,713 km

Brian, the second son, has been racing since he entered the race in 1981.

The Porsche 930 Turbo has begun to want its family to continue to own it even after their father, MacEatiernn, died.

I feel like I can understand that feeling.

If I could continue to own the current black carrera as it is, I would like to take good care of it even if I'm gone all the time.

However, in Japan (and especially in Tokyo where there is no land), I think that it is difficult to own it, so I do not want my feelings to be a burden for children. I won't do it ... ^^

2009 850,000 km

Following a breakdown at 641,312 km in 2006, a collision with an SUV occurred in 2009. The drive shaft was damaged, the fender was dented, and the control arm was broken.

2012 1,000,000 km

great!

The digits are different. 1 million kilometers.

The United States has reached 1 million kilometers on its way to an event in Pennsylvania. After that, Canada, where he lives, returned to Toronto and celebrated with champagne.

One million kilometers is truly impressive!

2020 1,253,584 km

And as of 2020. The mileage of this car is about 779,000 miles (about 1,253,584 km).

And, of course, that distance is still growing. It seems that he still rides this Porsche 930 Turbo almost every day.

Anyway, for him the Porsche 930 Turbo is a must-have, and for him it's the only Porsche that can't be replaced by any other modern supercar.

If it seems like a miracle to meet my beloved Porsche so far, it seems to me that I was able to meet such an encounter objectively and I really envy it.

Happy Valentin's Day

I also love my Porsche 911 so much that I am grateful that I met it every day, and Porsche 911 is an irreplaceable existence for me now.

Still, I don't know if we can stay together for more than a million kilometers.

"Porsche love".

That is, even if you let go of the Porsche that came to you in just a few months, if you loved and enjoyed your Porsche during the period of ownership, I think that is also love.

And I've been riding for over 1 million kilometers every day, and I love and love my Porsche all the time.

I don't think there are any correct or incorrect answers.

However, anyway, no matter what the shape, when I see this kind of pure love for Porsche, it is certain that I think "Oh, something good" ^ ^

When I talk about Porsche love with drunkenness on Valentine's night, I'm sorry it makes no sense ^ ^

Anyway, I wish Valentine's Day was wonderful for you.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone, ... and especially to my loved ones. Thank you for being there for me.
