Why yes, the 911 is a family car...

Took the family on a day trip to Mt. St Helens. 7+ hrs of driving and the kids loved every minute of it...

Built in Picnic Chairs


Co-Pilot's Chair


What we went to see


But it is the journey, not the destination that matters

alf, your thread is great...too many of the guys here get talked out of their 911s under the pretext that they need a "family car." You sure put that notion to rest.

Great photos of the family. In five years you're gonna need a Cayenne if you wanna haul everyone in a Porsche. In the meantime, enjoy the 911 with them.

Nice family, congrats on fitting them in the P-car. I love the last picture also. By the way, what kind of steering wheel do you have installed??

Ie, mei koku no chuo koku jin desu. Did i say that correctly?

That is a factory 993RS wheel, pretty much a Momo wheel with a Porsche pad.

Thats what it's all about. I wish more poeple would post shots like that.
when they get too big you can pick up one of those new rear-engine 928's but you should be ok for a long time.

Into Japan Konish? Porsches are much cheaper here. I love shaken. Are you really a middle black guy from the country of Mei Alf? The country of Bei might be more accurate.
