I will leave the Yatsugatake Kogen Hutte, which is the third checkpoint at this rally reunion, which I wrote at the end of the first part, and then aim for "Yatsugatake Ohashi".

This bridge wasn't a checkpoint especially for the rally, but it was a recommended point to stop by while driving because it was a very beautiful shooting spot, so take a look. With this.

I think most of the entrants took the route to stop by this Yatsugatake Ohashi on their way to their next destination, the lunch venue.

And, in front of us aiming for such a route, Speedster.

Speaking of this fog becoming a picture of a speedster running in the clear forest, behind it! !! !! It's a painting, isn't it?

Photo spot: Yatsugatake Ohashi

Gradually, the altitude has dropped, the fog has completely disappeared, and the warmth has returned.

And it is a beautiful view that spreads out in front of Yatsugatake Ohashi.

If I was fascinated by the beautiful scenery, the road that I had been able to run with Susui suddenly started to get crowded ... and suddenly there was a traffic jam. It's a full stop.

picture? What's wrong? If you think about it, are there about 10 cars in front of us by the time we enter Yatsugatake Ohashi? At that point ... Sudden closure of Yatsugatake Ohashi.

Yeah yeah.

"Rainbow BridgeYatsugatake Ohashi cannot be closed! Isn't it? ??

If you think, an ambulance on the bridge and a helicopter from the air. Well, this seems to be difficult.

So, although there was a happening that the Yatsugatake Ohashi was suddenly closed, I was able to make a U-turn in front of the bridge and detour on a different route, so I wonder if the time loss was about 15 to 20 minutes. ,I think.

I couldn't see the scenery from the bridge, but when I turned back, I enjoyed the scenery from the front again.

Seeing the beautiful nature in front of me, I can only think that I was happy to be alive. For me, I can only feel positive in front of this beautiful scenery.

However, even if I saw this same beautiful scenery, I wonder if there were people who thought differently ... Given that, I am really grateful that I am now optimistically happy with Porsche. At the same time as I was happy, I felt a little painful.

I don't know what you're talking about ^^ Well, I had a lot of thoughts.

Well, and the route that detoured from here was also very good.

I'm sure God might have made a detour this time in order to let us go through this road. That is this route ↓

That's here,The place that was the checkpoint at the time of the first rally "Seisen-ryo"It is a road that goes through. While running, I said, "Oh, you came here!"

So what I miss is here, here. This arrow's junction.

While driving on the road to that, I remember when I ran this road in the first rally.

Because, the junction that was on the map earlier ... Exactly! The point where 911 of Mr. Entrant who was running in front was mistaken on the road ^ ^

This is here.

If it is true (if you go according to the frame diagram), you have to turn left here, but the 911s in front were turning right here.

That was the first time for us to say, "What ??", and it was a very memorable point that we just turned left, saying, "Oh, don't you follow me?" It is.

It was very nice to be able to pass through such a nostalgic place again by chance as a "Porsche rally".

Nostalgia MAX feeling ^ ^

Well, it's been more than two years since I participated in the first rally. In a blink of an eye ...

Checkpoint 4: Keyspring

In that way, while driving the Porsche 911 while looking back on what happened at the rally about two years ago, I arrived at the next destination, the lunch venue "Keyspring".

This time, the lunch venue was divided into two to avoid crowding, one was Keyspring here, and the other was Harvest Terrace Yatsugatake.

We chose Keyspring, which was said to come out mainly with meat. After all it is carnivorous.

The meat was very tender and delicious. The meat itself was delicious enough for me, and I didn't need the sauce.

Even if you look outside, Porsche and others are still.

It's always too happy to see.

Checkpoint 5 (Goal): Harvest Terrace Yatsugatake

After having a delicious lunch slowly, head to Harvest Terrace Yatsugatake, which is the 5th checkpoint nearby and the goal of this rally reunion.

This time, I wrote that the lunch venue was divided into two, but Harvest Terrace Yatsugatake, which is the goal point here, was also the other lunch venue.

It was a short rally reunion event from morning to afternoon, but when I arrived at the final point again, I felt a sense of fulfillment or a refreshing feeling.

It is the last parking alongside the Porsche 911s that are already lined up.

By the way, there was also the Porsche 911 wrapped in matte moss green that appeared in the explanation video of this rally reunion that was sent in advance.

I was curious, so when I asked it, it was said that it was a vehicle owned by the Porsche Center, but it seems that it is an adventurous color for the Porsche Center ^ ^

I was quite surprised that it might be wrapping in such a color. I wish I had taken the plunge and even made a camouflage pattern.

And the nice thing about this rally event is that you can meet different 911s in the same place, even if they are the same Porsche 911, 911s of different times, different grades, different special editions. That you can do.

Again, the two Porsche 911s that were accidentally stopped in this way were just parked in the order in which they arrived, but from my point of view, the Fuchs wheel of the air-cooled Porsche 911 and the Porsche 911 50th Anniversary It is a miracle that you can try arranging wheels with the model Fuchs wheel as a motif.

I think that it is also one of the wonderful charms of Porsche's The Rally that you can actually meet "a little thing" by chance even with such a small thing ^ ^

We had coffee and sweets until everyone got together, so we relaxed in the garden in the warm sun until the closing ceremony started.

I feel like I'm just relaxing in the sun so much that I forget that it's a Porsche rally.

The closing ceremony was scheduled to be held in the garden of Harvest Terrace Yatsugatake, so I was told "I should wear warm clothes because it may be cold", but the weather was so nice that it was really impossible and it was warm. I didn't need any warm clothes at all.

In this garden, which is the venue for the closing ceremony, there are many panelized photographs.

These decorated photos were from past rallies.

I looked around one by one, and I remembered all the sights. I remember various things, "Oh, this is over there, it was like this here."

Anyway, I was very happy to remember all the scenes, such as "Oh, this person is moving" or "This car was also there" when someone who knew it was reflected.

And somehow, the sight of these panels being displayed on the lawn in front of nature is too wonderful. Those who thought about this way of showing in the garden are fashionable ~ ^^

In this way, I am very happy that the memories of Porsche 911, the owners of Porsche, and the people involved in Porsche will increase one by one.

Until now, the photos of these memories seem to make me think "I want them too", but for this rally, I mean, when I look at each of these photos one by one. ,

"Porsche the Rally will keep track of everyone's memories."

Even if I don't have any form for myself, I wish I could have my own memories as one of the entrants who participated in the rally in "The Rally". I felt like that.

Do you understand (laughs)? Hmmm.

Also, during this waiting time, I was able to meet again with the person who was driving the pace car that was leading our group at the time of the last rally, so I was very happy. ..

That time,A leader who can run very happilyThanks to this, I was able to experience a really very enjoyable ride with the Porsche 911 GT3.

Finally, because there was a lead in that Porsche 911 Turbo at that rallyWhen I say goodbye to GT3I also think that I was able to say goodbye with good memories, saying, "It was fun at that time."

I wanted to express my gratitude, so I'm glad to meet you. Next time I have to do my best with bare carrera ... I wonder if I can keep up ... ^^

A photo contest was also held at this rally reunion.

Before the closing ceremony, each person applies for the photos taken during the rally, and the entrants vote for them at the end to select the photo that seems to be the most wonderful.

Many people applied and all the photos were wonderful. It was nice to be able to see the scenery of the route where we were not running, such as "There was a spot where the autumn leaves were so beautiful" while looking at the pictures.

Prizes will also be given to the photographers of the top three photographs selected by voting.

Then, there was a greeting from the EBI representative, and the closing was closed. Oh, I've completed the stamp rally properly ~.

Compared to the previous rallies, there was one thing I personally thought at this rally reunion that "it has evolved tremendously !!", but that is ... the stamp that will be pushed by this stamp rally. ..

Until now, it was a type of stamp that you press with ink popping, but from this time, the stamp with the design of these Porsche 911s is now "Shachihata"! !! !! (Oh, I haven't actually seen the manufacturer, but it's a type that has so-called built-in ink and you can just press it.)

This is already too epoch-making for me, and I was probably the most impressed this time (that's it (laughs)). This may have reduced the tension of the person in charge of stamping ^^

What is that? I just noticed that the stamps and types at the last Harvest Terrace Yatsugatake are different, right? ?? I wonder if there were several types. I did not notice.

Well then, goodbye to you again. I have to go home.

I feel that it is a tacit understanding that "Let's meet again next time" with the entrants, and I'm sure we will meet again at the next or next rally. Goodbye thinking that I could do it.

I think that kind of thing is wonderful.

Porsche the Rally, which has a lot of relationships such as being able to say hello with a smile with each Porsche 911 when we meet again someday, is a very nice person who loves Porsche 911 I think it is a place where people gather.

At the end, the management staff did their best to say goodbye. Everyone, smile, smile. Is happy.

I don't usually come to the Porsche Center, but for those who can only meet at the event, I look forward to seeing them again and say goodbye with a smile.

I hope I can see you somewhere again ^^

On the way back, I will meet Porsche 911 here and there. When we pass each other, we wave hands.

Even on the way back, Mt. Fuji looked beautiful in this way. Illustration of Mt. Fuji and GT3. I am very happy on my way home.

I came back in good mood, but when I looked at the windshield of the 911 that was lit by the sun the next day, was there a large number of insects? !! But! !!

Apparently I got into a horde of small insects in the forest? It was supposed to be amazing.

Well, well, well, and even more! The morning after the rally reunion, after a while in the car, something suddenly flew into the car.

"What !! Something flew! Flying !!" was a big panic. Then ... Wow, it was a fly.

At the time of the rally, I was running with the windows fully open, and I was already enjoying it in nature, so it seems that I brought Mr. Flies from Yatsugatake.

After the fight, Mr. Flies went out, but I was a little worried that he would be okay to start living in Tokyo suddenly ... It was bad to bring it.

Anyway, I had a fly, the body was full of insects, and the floor inside the car was a lot of grass and grass, and it was quite dirty, so I just had to wash the car!

But I didn't have time to wash it myself, so it's been a few years? !! Instead of washing the car myself, I had my brother at the gas station wash it. The interior of the car is revived. Thank you ~ ^^

After all Amazing Moment

In this way, after finishing the car wash, I returned the Porsche 911 Carrera to a shiny finish, and the second Porsche the Rally reunion event for me was also successfully completed.

I experienced "Amazing Moment" again this time.

And this time, I realized again that it will continue to be engraved as one of the Amazing Moment of The Rally of this Porsche 911, as one of the memories in The Rally as one.

I hope that the memories of many Porsche 911s, many Porsche owners, and many management staff will continue to increase.

Oh, the people who run it may be more difficult than good memories (laughs), but no, that's not the case! Even if it was difficult, I'm sure that the feeling of "good!" Was greater after the end (and brainwashing!).

It's not enough to tell you how many times, but thank you very much for your wonderful time, wonderful opportunity, and wonderful encounter! !!

I hope I can meet somewhere again with the entrants who couldn't meet again this time ^^
