Tell me about your most memorable drive in a Porsche

[Steve Rance]

Mine was in a speed yellow Carrera GT a few months after launch. It was at the Le mans Bugatti Circuit. The michellin tyres that the car came with were years behind the capability of that magificent chassis. We were there with the 996RS and were clocking 155mph before the braking zone into the pit straight complex. A friend asked me to drive his Carrera GT. After a lap or so of mincing he said 'if you are not going to F*****ing drive it, take it back and get out'. So i drove it at 10/10ths for a lap. The engine was insane. It revved up to max so quickly. The chassis was well balanced but those tyres were hopeless. lots of correction needed. As we neared the braking zone to the complex the speedo was showing 180mph... then it started going sideways. I thought the accident was going to be dental records. I cant remember what happened next but we ended up getting straight before the complex and scrubed enough speed off to get turned in. The owner just looked at me for a few seconds and said 'nice save Steve'. Someone did it but i wasnt me...

What a car..

Thanks Chaps.

Come on guys, it doesnt have to be at an epic race track or in a GT car. It can be a slow drive on any B road anywhere. I'm just interested in the car, the location and what made it special..

Just lovely. Even more fitting that Mr Edwards name is associated with a thread like this. A true porsche enthusiast, the quickest 911 driver that I've ever met and certainly the nicest Guy in the paddock.

Keep them comming Chaps
