Nord Stern Drive

I'm back! After a long recess, I've decided to return to this page. Not that there's tons of excitement, but at least there's something.

This past weekend was the Nord Stern Vino in the Valley tour. Approximately 40 Porsches met in Prescott for a 4-5 hour drive around western Wisconsin, stopping at the Eau Galle Cheese Factory, before eating at Vino in the Valley. Starting out, Kelsey and I were behind a 2010 Turbo Cabriolet. When he hit the gas, 500+ horsepower erupted, screaming for traction! It was amazing!

Most of the cars were pretty recent models, but we had a nice lineup of the 924/944/968 series. Below is my 944 Turbo, a 968, a 924 Turbo, an early 944, and another 944 Turbo. You can definitely tell the family relation.

Although this specific car didn't take part in the drive, it did show up at Vino in the Valley. It's a 911 GT2.

A rare 911 Turbo Flatnose (or Flachbau) was along as well. The Flatnose option added up to 60% more to the sticker price!!

The final stop for the tour, Vino in the Valley! This restaurant is kind of in the middle of nowhere, yet they had a 2.5 hour wait on Saturday night!

That wasn't all the excitement for Saturday, but you'll have to check the next post for the follow up.
