Freedom and fun in a well-loved 1964 Porsche 356 | Why I Drive #7

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Why does Catherine Sutton drive? Because looking after her car is a choice, not a chore. She presides over her 1964 Porsche 356 with its wrinkles and patina as if it were a loved one, carefully operating the clockwork of its clutch and accelerator, and the cherished Porsche shepherds her through the sweeping bends of the countryside. At the wheel, Catherine grasps the independence she felt after first passing her driving test. Anywhere she wants to go, anything she wants to do-the trusty old German connects her to the world through its windshield.

    There's something about that pov shot at 1:06, Jesus it's just so classic, besides the beautiful composition, i don't know what it is. Is it the frame rate, added noise, the boosted warmth, the reflections on the rear quarter and mirror, or that perfectly times bird flying across frame with that gorgeous landscape? Just bloody timeless, I love it

    My first new car was a '71 VW Type 3 "Squareback." And while it certainly wasn't great-handling, and, with only 60 hp, definitely underpowered, the feel of it, from the skinny bakelite steering wheel, notchy shifter, the solid, air-tight shutting of the doors, to the sound of the air-cooled flat-4, the smell of the heater, and on and on, is all so memorable - to this day. It has been a long time since any vehicle has been allowed to be that simple and direct.

    I think it's partly an acquired taste too. My Uncle brought home his 1961 VW Beetle from Berlin back in '74 and would drive my younger brother n me to the movies n allow us to binge on sodas n candy every night in the summer n on weekends come school days. As a result, every time we start up our Beetles , there's a humongous 😊 smile on our faces, even if we have to go get groceries for our wives😆

    Excellent. I have a new Taycan Turbo S -- but my daily drivers are a 1991 Porsche 911C2 and a 1971 911S. Why? Because I just don't care -- You think fun is going fast and looking great in a slick design -- but its not -- fun is being one with the engine, manual transmission and automobile... New cars have lost that feeling. Last, an older Porsche has a timeless design that cant be replicated and likely is gone forever. Cheers Catherine.

    Best road trip, was to Sebring, convinced my professor to let me take my final early. Dad with his 69 911 updated body wise to a 73 RSR clone with parts from Porsche Racing,. Dad got home after putting in 40 hours of driving his semi and we left for Sebring late Wendsday afternoon, our family dog a small dog, decided the back seat of the 356 gave him a better view on top of our luggage and misc. Drove straight thru with my brother and dad sharing driving between the two cars to get to Sebring on Thursday afternoon.

Old cars were actually designed for bumpy roads. New cars are full of plastic parts and electronics making them into throw away products that wont be cherished like this in the future.

No its not going to be a GT3, but it will teach you car control and how to drive smoothly. I bought my first 356 A b nORMAL IN 1974. iT WAS NOT AS FAST AS MY 64 911, BUT IT KEPT MOM OFF OF DAD FOR ALLOWING A 15 YEAR OLD TO HAVE A 911, AND YES i BOUGHT BOTH WITH MY OWN MONEY, NO GIFT FROM THE PARENTS.

I learned how to change the oil, adjust valves, set the timing, synchronize the carburetors, tension the fan belt, gap and change the plugs, adjust the clutch, replace brake pads, etc., all before I had graduated from high school. This was in 1982 and all my friends owned old cars that needed work to keep them running. I'm not sure if this was tedious because that's just how it was, but driving that car was always an adventure!
