Send off light car touring

Posted: April 18, 2021 Updated:

Touring that goes only by light car

On this day when the weather was very nice, our couple rented a car.

What did you rent ... This is a mini car. Suzuki Wagon R! !! !!

I have never had a chance to ride a mini car, and this is my first experience of a mini car. Too much fun ~ ^^

The first impression I got into this car was that it was easy to get on and off. Very easy to get on and off. I realized how much I used to use my muscles to get in and out of the car ^^

Refusal of free upgrade on service

When renting a car, it would be nice if you could upgrade for free on the day of the event, saying, "We have a car with a higher model than the one you reserved, so we will upgrade." ..

But we were different on this day.

I had my husband make a reservation, but at the time of booking, he said, "I want to rent a mini car," and the car rental company said, "There is a possibility that I will change to a car that is not a mini car on the day. In response to being told, "There is no point in renting a car unless it is a mini car."

In the end, the reservation was made with the consent that "If you can't prepare a mini car on the day, you can cancel it."

Because the purpose of the day was to "rent a light car", and the car to rent must be a light car! !! !!

Suzuki Wagon R Experience

First, I took a quick look at the Wagon R.

I tried to sit in the back seat, but it's wide! !! I had the image that a mini car is compact = small = narrow, but what is the size of the rear seats that is no longer comparable to the Porsche 911.

In addition, there is an umbrella stand on the backseat door and a cup holder underneath. What is an umbrella stand in the car? !! great! !! !! Impressed.

Our rule when driving a little out early in the morning is to take out the morning mac, and after all we get the morning mac on this day as well.

Impression was waiting here again.

Because.

In front of the passenger seat, there is a place for Macs that says "Please go here for a morning Mac"! !! (Wrong).

But thisAnxiety about spilling even coffeeThere is a cup holder that seems to be completely empty, and next to it is a mini table-like space. It's too convenient.

There is also a cup holder on the driver's side in such a place. It ’s comfortable, is n’t it?

The view is also excellent.

When I was thinking that the meter was a little nice, oh. Is this Wagon R actually a hybrid? ??

This is this ↓ Regenerative brake? I'm charging! !! !! great.

I was so impressed with the experience of a mini car for the first time, and arrived at my destination.

The purpose of this day is (?) "Send off touring". On days when you have a touring invitation on a day when you have a business, when you have time to go just to see off in the morningI'm going..

So this day.

I dared to go with a mini car because the touring on this day was "light size car tied up touring" (laughs).

The owners are usually Porsche touring (or other supercar touring), but it seems that there are many people who also own light cars for other purposes, and such light cars are also owned. "Light car touring" by the owners.

It's too funny, isn't it ^^! !!

When I received this invitation, I replied, "Unfortunately, I don't have a mini car at home, so I'm not eligible to participate, so I'll give up."

Then, he replied, "Some people rent a car and participate."

That night, my husband said, "I heard that you have a touring plan for mini cars, but if you reply that we can't participate because we don't have a light car, some people rent a car and participate, so it's too playful. It's good (laughs)! "

Then my husband said, "That's interesting! Then, we can go to see off (although it is impossible to participate in touring on a schedule), so why not go to see off by a light car?"

"What? Do you rent a car and go by light car?"

I said, but for me, who loves to have fun, I ended up saying, "Well, that genius idea! That's not the best!" ^^

Even so, at this point in my house, it was decided to "go to see off with a mini car for light car touring" (laughs).

If you tell the touring organizer, "I'm just going to see you off," he said, "By all means.Urakan EVOso! The gap with the mini car is huge and good, "he said, so he just said," I'll do my best to meet your expectations. "

So ... On the day of the event, yes, not the Huracán EVO, but a mini car that properly meets the touring participation conditions!

It's all just because I want a word from the organizer, "Did you rent a mini car just to see you off? You're not stupid !!" (laughs).

After all, everyone who accepts with a laugh that "I came to see you off with a mini car because it is a mini car touring!" Is wonderful ^ ^

By the way, 9 people (not including my home) participated in this light car touring, and 2 of them participated by renting a car.

All 9 participants are Porsche owners.

This time, the owner of the Porsche 911 GT3RS (other supercars) who rented a light car and participated was very reluctant.

Because, even if the same light car was rented, this light truck ↓ Light tiger, light tiger!

It seems that it was rented as a light truck because "I wanted to ride it". It's too cool ~ ^^ I couldn't think of a light truck rental (laughs).

After seeing off everyone who departed lightly and happily in a light car, we headed there because we had other errands. Light.

Even when I was running, I encountered Ferrari, and I thought, "Oh, those who were touring with Ferrari before, are running light and fun today." Ta ^^

It's kind of nice, isn't it? I think it's a fun project.

In terms of racing, it feels like you are enjoying yourself in a different category / class, or it is the same as having fun running with everyone, so I think it was a different kind of fun from Porsche Touring ^ ^

Feeling like a camper

I also tried driving a little, Wagon R.

The impression is ... the cabcon type that I drove beforeWhen driving a camperIt was similar to the feeling of.

Is it because I'm tall? After all it was vulnerable to crosswinds, and when it turns, it may roll over. I was afraid that the steering wheel would turn forever, and I remembered when I drove a camper.

So, if you get used to driving this car, you may be able to drive a camper without any problems. ??

It was a very enjoyable day. I was happy and enjoyed the experience of a mini car! !!
