The Porsche 911 traveled the distance to the moon and back
Nice cars are made to drive
One of the perennial debates among car connoisseurs is whether nice sports cars should be everyday vehicles or remain in one’s collection as “pristine” works of art. For “petrol” enthusiast Bill McEachern, there is no such dilemma. He has the 1975 Porsche 911 Turbo. he is a lifelong companion, in the most literal sense. The two have gone through all kinds of life scenes and grown old together.
Over the past 41 years, Americans have logged more than 800,000 miles. That is a great distance that could take him to the moon and back. Bill’s interest in the 911 began when he first drove a Porsche 911 T test model in 1970. and is still addicted to its handling and agility. In the end, he bought a 911 Turbo painted in Midnight Blue and began a series of countless trips and adventures. They range from high-speed rallies in North America to participation in legendary car events such as the Monterey Beauty Pageants. Man and machine have been a team in good and not so good conditions along the way, including several repairs. Some of it he did himself, and for others he called roadside assistance.
With each passing kilometer, the bond between Bill and his car becomes stronger. To date, they have covered more than 800,000 miles (about 1.3 million km). The Turbo is still running, and the owner is far from retiring it. Bill claims that cars like this are built to be driven, not sat still. The more kilometers they travel, the more pleasure they bring to their driver.
