December 1999 |
John Pohl invited the Northern California Rennlist to the last "Fun Ride" of 1999. 10 p-cars showed up: 2 911s, 2 928s, 1 930, 3 944s, 1 951, and 1 968. We started and ended at the Union 76 in Saratoga. In between was 3 1/2 hours of driving fun on the roads south of San Francisco. Great weather (clear skys and 70 degrees) made the drive all the better.
This was the first time I pushed the 928. Overall the car performed very well. Nothing fell off or broke, there was no unusual fluid leaks, and acceleration and cornering were very good. The brakes worked well but started to fade on some of the downhill runs. Even when the driving got spirited, I had no problems staying with the pack.
