Porsche outing
The other weekend a few of us around here gathered to do a nice drive and luch as we sometimes do, it was good fun and great weather so I though I'd share some pictures of the cars and the roads 
We gathered firts for breakfast at a hotel were we fueled up and had a small briefing of the route we were going to do.
We would be going through mountain roads with little to no traffic at all on a Saturday morning, that went back and fourth between Portugal and Spain, total distance was 200km (120miles).
Everybody got a route booklet and we were 26 cars so each one would go at their own desired pace and fell into place accordingly, those that wanted a more spirited pace would go on the lead and those more laid back would trail back.
During the route I enjoyed the view of that beautiful 996GT3RS in front of me who was the organiser of the route and lead the way.
Full brake and stare down contest... not going to lie... I lost and I circled slowly past when aI saw the chance 
Halfway we stopped to stretch our legs and have a snack.
And we reached a scenic river with a dam were we stopped as well
Around 2:30pm we arrived back to the city and we parked the cars at the Auto Show that was being held those days.
And went to a restaurant that overlooked the city/coast for a long lunch that finished at around 5:30 in the evening 
All in all, it was a fun day, those mountain roads reminded me why I love manuals, and especially 911's

Great photos and write up.
Actually I'm contemplating getting a low milage 2nd 991 Turbo, but maybe next year since now is not the best time for that since it still came out relatively recently. Kind of a strange idea for me since I generally like atmospherics more and normally I would be thinking of getting a new CarreraS but with the 991 Porsche has made the Carrera de worst in the line up in terms of value/money, a well optioned Carrera S goes for 145,000€... for a Carrera S. And also the Porsche strategy of bringing facelifts every other day makes for a bad time to get a Carrera S now since they are going to change it next year agian. Fortunately, the 997S has been so good to me and still enjoy it so much that I'm not in a situation were I need to hurry so I have time to think
