The Porsche World Roadshow held this week in Southern California marked the 9th segment of the tour for 2014. The event was hosted at the infield area of the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA. I joined several PuristS for an early morning Porsche driving ...  

It was well coordinated and fun too. Regards, ED-209

What did you think about the Targa? The retro roof look great to me. How did it drive? Any extra body flex? JerryW

Targa was very nice, the convertible top is a mechanical ballet of motion. But it felt a little to heavy. Chassis felt stiff and no real loss of structural integrity. I liked it! :) Regards, ED-209

I'm a big fan of the way this latest Cayman S drives. But not how the rear looks. However, somehow I'm still haunted by it. It's just that good. And I find myself wanting one. The Macan S has also been on my radar as a great car for around-town driving. I... 

Well I wasn't expecting it to be directly in SF. But definitely worth the drive out to try the Porsche GTS line. Hope you can make it. And I agree with you the Cayman is pretty impressive. Especially the GTS version. Regards, ED-209

So you've convinced me Ed, that this Cayman GTS is worth trying out. Thunderhill is about 2.5 hours away from my home. It's closer to Sacramento if anything. Normally, around San Francisco, Porsche would use the Alameda Naval Base, where you can get up to...

My partner went to this, and invited me to attend, but I was flying out same day on a business trip. Was very bummed to miss it. Next time, perhaps. Cheers, John

Highly recommended. Which Porsche do you like most? Regards, ED-209

That's the one I'd choose. You?

The new Boxster looks good too. So is there a P-car in your near future? :) -MW

Wonderful handling, but unfortunately too slow for me. But that 911 Turbo was awesome. Regards, ED-209

Great Report Ed, love looking at your pics and all those beautiful Porsches, the GTS models are very cool, a nice synthesis of the best Porsche has to offer in a very attractive package and price. HAGWE S

Thanks Salman. I agree the GTS is a great line for Porsche. How's your Porsche running? Any new cars on the horizon? Regards, ED-209

Its been a very good experience so far, nearly completed 15,000 kms so its due for its first service. I've been looking around for a Cabriolet SUV and have realized how few the choices are: 1) Mercedes G-Wagen SWB Cabriolet 2) Jeep Wrangler 3) Toyota Land...
