Porsche Crest Hey Denis!! Day trip in a loaner 996

What a fun day trip.

Napa to Santa Rosa, to Jenner, to Ft Ross, to Bodega Bay, to Petaluma and back to Napa.
160 miles~

Rebuilt engine.

Handles very well, has good acceleration and is, I'll just say, very peppy.












Fun day!


KT

Wow, the old beast is looking good! What's the story on the rebuilt engine?

Owner blew the motor last July on the track in dramatic, multi-station, yellow flag waving, due to reduced visibility, fashion!

Looks like a great car on a great road. I spent my day framing a bathroom and running electric.

*jealous*

Great pics Trek. Reminds me a lot of the hills round my way. Is it a 3.4 or 3.6? Manual or tip?
