Road Trip!

Wife and I finally took my Carrera from San Diego up to Santa Barbara and then to Solvang and then SB wine country. Fantastic 3 day trip. Weather was perfect with Santa Ana conditions. Hwy 101 was clear and very pretty. Car ran great and stayed cool the entire trip (600 miles). This is why I bought this car so it was a dream come true.

Went to Los Olivos. Took many great roads wine tasting. Had Dinner at a great little beach cafe right on the beach in Santa Barbara. Parked near State Street and took in the S.B. museum of art. Had a real Van gogh! Just a great trip! But the best was driving 101.

I think that I saw you. I was on a run with a bunch of my Speedster Replica buds, but I was driving my GP White Targa. Great weekend weather!

I did see a lot of P cars on that trip. I saw several vintage 911's but the best sighting was a gunmetal gray 356 Carrera (the real deal) on 101 coming back fron SB. It was with us all the way to Ventura. Also, the Panamera seems to be everywhere now. I saw several on our trip. I think it will sell better than the 928 did. Rich folks like them. Drop off the kids at school and with 400+ HP to boot! I read that they go 0-60 in about 1.2!!!
