Ice Force Arctic Driving - Porsche Wintery escape while driving a 911 Carrera 4S

 Porsche Driving School Adventure in Finland Videos

 

 ICE FORCE 2009

 

Check out this video as Porsche 911's carve up the snowy scenery and jam to the nice techno -beats in all too beautiful Finland.  

 There’s no better location for winter driver training than the northern Arctic Circle, or more precisely the Arctic Driving Center in the Finnish town of Rovaniemi or at the Mellatracks Proving Ground in Ivalo – about 300 km (186 miles) further north. Take to the wheel of a 911 Carrera or Cayenne and hone your car control skills on ice and snow. Experience all types of conditions including a black-ice slalom and the off-road circuit with the benefit of expert guidance from Porsche Sport Driving School instructors. After the training, you’ll also get the opportunity to explore the endless expanse of Lapland’s countryside – on snowmobiles, for example.

NOBODY'S PERFECT - California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger parking his Porsche in a red zone in Beverly Hills!!

WHOOPS!!!....Governor Arnold parking his Porsche last Saturday in a red zone in Beverly Hills!

Just weeks after his wife Maria Shriver apologized for parking her Cadillac Escalade in a red zone, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appears to have made a California Vehicle Code violation too,  ....was spotted parking his wheels, apparently Arnold didn't learn from his wife's mistake. Several other videos showed Maria holding a cell phone while driving, another violation of California law.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says photographs of his Porsche illegally parked in a Beverly Hills red zone are proof that even he makes mistakes.The city typically issues a $90 citation to red zone violators.
The Republican governor said Tuesday his Saturday violation shows "no one is perfect—not even me."

 Arnold Schwarzenegger breaking the California Vehicle Codes

You can see here that Mr. Porsche Schwarzenegger lacks a front license plate, as required by the California Vehicle Code 5200-5206

Yes, that $100,000 silver beauty would be a unsightly look with the front license plate.

However, there are many Porsche owners that lack the front license plate, including myself for years.

So I guess I am breaking the law too!

I read this article and found out the state of California may be finding ways to make some additional revenue.
Someone did a  internet search trying to find the reason for needing a front license plate in the first place which turned up fruitless and found a long list of reasons to repeal the widely adopted law.

....Removing your front license plate might save you money

In the meantime, there’s one of those useless internet petitions available to “eradicate” California’s front license plate law, so far it has 17,406 signatures. If you add your name, please sure to leave a comment that blogging.la sent you!

2010 Porsche 911 GT3 "R " version

Start your engines: Porsche develops more powerful ‘R’ version of its 911 GT3 for 2010 motor sport season

 Another Porsche racing car based on the venerable  911— surprised? The Porsche 911 GT3 R joins the Weissach racing stable in 2010 as the successor to the  911 GT3 Cup S. 

 The new racing car succeeds the 911 GT3 Cup S and Porsche said it offers better driveability and even easier handling.Under the bonnet is a 3.8-litre six-cylinder 'boxer' engine, now delivering a maximum output of 480bhp (up 30bhp on the Cup) and it weighs just 1,200kg.

An anti-lock braking system, traction control and an electronic throttle with ‘blip’ function on gearbox down-changes make it more driver-friendly than its predecessor. Additional flared wheel arches front and rear striking LED rear light clusters make up the exterior mods.

SWEETEST GIFT IN THE WORLD ... what a chocolate covered Porsche 911 Carrera S !!

The worlds most expensive holiday treat, a Porsche 911 Carrera S is dunked in chocolate....Yum!
Well, it might be the most expensive treat for those chocoholic lovers and car enthusiasts!!

If you are trying to find a sweet and thoughtful gift this holiday....well here is something unique!

A Porsche dealership "Porsche Centrum Gelderland's "  in the Netherlands has created a choc-top version of the 911 Carrera S supercar.
 

If anything... it is a powerful suggestion literally to get you in the holiday mood for some very tasteful thinking. And what perfect timing for those Porsche dealerships wanting to sell all those new Porsche models that just arrived in their showrooms. I wonder if chocolate will be the treat when you visit!! I know I would be drooling! I don't know about you but my mouth is watering right now just thinking about it. 

 

It physically took a chocolate chef and nearly 400 pounds of chocolate to make this beauty happen. The lights and trim were sculpted with white chocolate while the body is sopping with milk-chocolate goodness. Ahhh.....don’t worry, underneath the chocolate, the Porsche is covered in plastic wrap protecting every square inch.

I was hoping too see something a little more sporty in design, more like deep dark chocolate with milk chocolate stripes like the Porsche Design Edition 1 Cayman S.
No matter what, the idea of chocolate makes you drool or salivate over the whole idea of a new Porsche.
What a great idea.......

A 1950 Porsche Spyder 550 hung on the wall by a real Porsche Purist Enthusiast

``When you think about how much more work goes into making a car versus a painting, you realize that is art,'' said Dezer, 34, a self-proclaimed ``Porsche fanatic'' who owns eight cars of that make. The job took months of planning, lots of engineering and the help of a crane.
