By Dave | February 2, 2009
Porsche have opened their new Driving Experience Centre at Silverstone – this video shows one of the Porsche Driving Consultants as he takes a lap at the facilities, including the low friction circuit, the ice hill, the kick plate, the handling circuit and the off-road course.
After you’ve watched this you’ll be wishing you had HIS job!

New Porsche 997 GT3

Porsche 997 GT3
Porsche have released this video of the New Porsche 997 GT3 based on the facelifted 997.
Porsche’s longstanding amazing test driver Walter Rohl (ex World Rally Champion) is the driver testing the GT3 in this video…
If you enjoyed that then check out the Porsche Website to see more about the GT3 -- they’ve got a clever site set up for the GT3 which allows you to download sounds, make your own images of the GT3 and more. Here’s an image I made up… By the way, Metallic Black is one of my favorite colours…

Video – Ferrari 599 Chasing Ferrari 550
By Dave | January 12, 2009
This is a Video made by EVO Magazine which shows EVO’s Richard Meaden in a Ferrari 599 following Harry Metcalfe’s Ferrari 550 driving hard through the idyllic Italian countryside.
Although driving doesn’t have to be this quick – it certainly makes you want to get out there and drive on those amazing roads. I think Harry was Richard’s boss – I’m surprised he didn’t fire him afterwards as the Ferrari 550 which was almost hit a few times by Richard was actually Harry’s own car at the time!

Love Driving? Welcome to my New Blog!
By Dave | January 9, 2009
Hello everyone – this is my very first post on my new Blog – Love-Driving.com!
I really love driving – no matter whether it’s just a few miles around the corner or driving thousands of miles across Europe. Not only do I love driving, but I also love driving all sorts of different cars – even older cars can have a lot of character and provide a fantastic driving experience – e.g. the original Mini – which was in fact my first car. Over the last 20 years I’ve been lucky enough to drive all sorts of cars from Minis to Ferraris but funnily enough one of the only cars I haven’t ever driven or even been in is a Porsche – not one! This is a bit odd as when I was growing up I always wanted a 911 Turbo!
In addition to loving driving all types of car (and riding Motorbikes – but that’s my second favorite to driving cars), I also love driving in any weather – it doesn’t matter to me if it’s sunny, raining or snowing – I just love getting in the car and driving. In fact driving when it’s wet or snowing just adds to the fun and is sometimes extremely challenging. Try a Lotus Elise in the snow – knowing that even a tiny bump could need a new front or rear clamshell!
One of the things I am going to pursue more which I have missed over the last few years is a great road trip through Europe – it’s a while since I’ve driven a long journey and I can’t wait to get going.
If you love cars and driving – hopefully you will find this blog interesting as I will be getting as much information together including videos, pictures and articles all about the Love of Driving.
I’d love to hear your feedback and your more than welcome to contribute your thoughts and opinions.
Here’s to a great year of Driving
