    Who said a 911 isn't roomy?


    Here is the problem:
    We were off for 3 weeks and the question was: How to fit all the luggage in our 996?

    The answer is: All you need is a Targa ...

    Gotta love the Targa's convenient hatchback.

    Such is the versatility of Porsche. With such capacity the 996/997 is most definitely a touring car. You would not be able to carry the same amount in a Ferrari 360 or 430. One would be required to utilize the services of United Parcel Service or DHL.

    Helmets were for the Porsche Festival that took place on August 25-27 in Magny-Cours. They wouldn't let you let you drive the car on the race track without it.

    There was over 800 Porsche cars at the Festival. Friday was for Porsche Club members only whilst Saturday and Sunday were open to all Porsche owners.

    Actually it was a real blast to drive it on the Formula 1 track. I also had a great time on the other track that is really twisty .....

    Bottom line the 911 is a real ALL purpose vehicle ....

    ...or a Boxster
    Just returned from a 18 days holiday trip and have been surprised how much luggage you can stuff into the two trunks. Also if you have a short stop-over somewhere you can leave the top down and nobody is lurking at the luggage.
    Whatever Porsche you drive - these babies are made for real world requirements Sounds like you had a blast in Magny Cours

    I was able to fit my shootgun in the back seat, without disassembling it, for some trap shooting couple months ago. Amazing!

    I'm amazed at your ability to fit so many items in your 911. The secret is soft bags that can support each other's weight and shape!
