TimeOut

we had our kind of local "drive around the block" yesterday, heading towards Les Baux de Provence though the Alpilles. The weather was just perfect for a Targa drive, with 25° C. Chasing the GT3 with my old 2.7 was a lot of fun ;-)...  

is the engine working perfectly? I wonder whats the 0-100 kmh back then thank you for sharing and you had a very beautiful weekend best, Ed

it's not bad ! 0-100 km/h was around 8s...with a new car ;-)

You know what good life is, for sure! If ever I go by there, please take me with me for a ride! Best, Nicolas.

you're always welcome !

. . . sit . . . . . . in the back? ;-) . . ....  

good one Art .

the back is pretty packed already ;-)...  

I for myself spent my sunday as the co-pilot of a Jaguar Type-E for a charity event to save children with heart malformations. Although the weather was really bad, we had a grand time and it was real fun to be able to race the cars on the Montlery track n... 

...but your Targa is something special. Congrats again. Cheers, pplater.

doubtlessly quite a thrilling and scenic drive. Cheers, Filip

Looks like a relaxing weekend drive, it's always great to hang out with the local Porsche club when the weather is nice. Are you ever planning to track it? -MW

I will be careful ;-)...  

De provence as a base when i train with my car for the rallies. Crillon le Brave being my other base close to the Mont Ventoux. I will be in 2 weeks back there hopefully with my GTS if i get it delivered next week. I need to rehearse before la Ronde du Ve...

Looks like you all had a great journey. Boys and toys. Best. Vte

Good to see so many of your friends actually drive their air-cooled Porsches.

the shape of the 911 hasnt changed much over the years, but give me your targa anytime over the modern equivelant. best Graham

One of my top 911s, I always wished to own one but id imagine that it would be a pain in Dubai where you cant escape the sun Thanks for sharing pictures of your beautiful car! regards Marwan
