Our first stop was 4 Vientos... breakfast was ready... here I go looking for a parking spot...
Color Coded 911's...
Signs on federal roads might get confusing... wide 997's figuring out the route... nice shot.
Confused 911's...
Porsches proved to be fast, here making a pass on other participants...
Porsches at front...
As we approached Acapulco the Porsches came out on front...
Time for a few shots...
Refueling was taking a few minutes longer than expected so I decided to do some extra shots... check out our Autodynamica sponsored t's with proper event printing in the back... "Touring Drive 2008 - Puebla - Mexico - Acapulco"...
The Mexico City leg was ready from a very early hour and just waiting for the Puebla leg to start the route...
Fast SLK deucing it up with even faster GT-R...
Early Start...
Good Spot...
Perfect parking spot avoiding parallel parking, I end up perpendicular to the GT3 RS... good shot!!!
...some decided to park color coded, here two Guards Red 911's...
We thank the Policia Federal as they watched over us for the entire route...
G spyder on the pace with the leaders... tremendous poise and speed...
Ferraris also kept the pace emanating glorious sounds from their engine bays and exhausts...
We did our usual stop in the middle of nowhere, PDK 997 proved not as thirsty and was promptly waiting for other participants...
This is what its all about, driving your Porsche fast with fellow enthusiast... tremendous shot, just look at the road ahead reflected in my Porsche Design sunglasses...
G spyder...
Ferrari...
Our usual stop at nowhere...
Result... RS+RS6
This one of the shots that came as result... RS with RS6 background... we find Audi owners eager to join our events, perhaps is because there is no Audi Club or Audi de Mexico events are focused on golf and social more than driving... no worries, Audi Owners Welcome...
Back on the road...
Bayito, now displaying a vast amount of hair after a Rogaine shower, leads the pack to Acapulco!!! we have one easy instruction at Touring Drive events, if you get lost follow the Guards Red Porsche 911 Turbo and catch it if you can, je, je, je...
Open Road...
The true spirit of the Touring Drive... enjoying the open road!!!
Clean 4S...
Red calipers reflecting on inside of TechArt Formula wheels, it doesn't get any cleaner than that I would say... tremendous stance of wide body 911's... NICE!!!
Fast pace...
