Brilliant Porsche Event
By pure chance I had my 911 serviced the day before the local Porsche dealer had the Panamera Launch event and I got invited to a brilliant day out in the dessert packing the greatest fun you can imagine:
90minutes of driving three Panameras along deserted dessert roads - what a fabulous car. While I am still struggling to get truly enthusiastic about the exterior (the front is gorgeous, the rear intriguing and the the side has some great elements, it is just suffering from about 2inches of too much headroom that causes a strange bump in the the roofline) - the inside is as nice as any car out there and the thing drives phenomenal. Quiet, surefooted, fast and with sensational breaks. Good thing I am not in the market for a sedan, otherwise $100k would be due to Porsche
Following the Panamera session, we spent 90 minutes zipping with Boxsters and Caymans along a tight course of hundreds of cones on a large parking lot (impressive cars, had not driven them before, got a love the mid engine) before we spend the same time in the dirt out in the dessert playing with some Cayenne's (Transibiria) in pretty deep water (the rear license plate was under water if you can believe it and putting the car on 'teeter-totter' with a wheel two feet in the air - all with street tires.
The final event was 3 almost new 911S on the track (in Pahrump, Nevada, near Las Vegas) ... about 30laps!
Porsche is doing this event throughout the country in the next few weeks - I can highly recommend to call your local Porsche guys to get an invite, brilliantly done ...
Kudos to Porsche for putting this together

Nice write up. Don't mean to be a nit picker but a dessert is something you eat while a desert is an arid area such as the Mojave or Death valley but it could be Denver, too which is a high plains desert. Breaks are something to get in life or time you spend resting while brakes are used to stop cars, etc.
