Although Peer is an enthusiast that participates with CCCR when he can, he's not always available. You see the commute is long when he's at home. Longer than your commute. You see, Peer is a CCCR member that gets some kind of distance award for being the furthest from CCCR. He lives in Raade, Norway. This car has 230,000 miles on it at the rate of about 20,000/year. Peer says you can drive a 911 all year, and he drives his every day. It uses about 1qt. of oil per 6,000 miles.

When going skiing, Peer gets his six foot skis inside the car.

Peer says that due to the Norwegian tax system a new Porsche costs about $120,000 to $130,000 and a new Turbo costs about $180,000 to $200,000. Gasoline is about $4/gal.

Service is performed at the "local specialized Porsche shop/garage, called Autotuning". Autotuning's web site "And if you click at "biler" to the left of the screen, you may see what cars they have for sale just now".

A year ago, Peer had a painting of his car done by a famous Norwegian car painting artist, shown below:

This artist also has a painting on display at the Museum in Zuffenhausen.

HERE IS A LATEST EMAIL FROM OUR MEMBER IN NOWAY

Hi I would like you to update the milage in the text for my 3.2 Carrera to 230.000 miles!! It is still my only car and the engine is still working nice without any engine or gearbox rebuild! A few weeks ago I used it on a 4.000 mile long vacation to the northern part of Norway to see the midnight sun without any problems! In 2002 I was on a nearly 4 week vacation in the US driving a normal rental car around in the north western part of the US. I even participated at the Porsche Parade in Boise, Idaho, on the day they had the concours. I saw Hamp Miller's (I think that was his name and he is the one with the red 356 too....) fantastic white 3.2 Carrera participating but sadly I did not see him. On the dinner that evening I shared table with the man (originally from Cuba he told me) who was head of the next Parade in Florida in 2003. He took me up to the long table on the podium where the "big guys" were sitting during the dinner so that I was able to take a closer picture of the person from the Porsche family (Peter Porsche I think it was). Because I was starting out in Denver and drove through Nebraska, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington State, Oregon and down to San Francisco to take the plane back home, I was not able to visit the San Louis Obispo area. :-( I drove about 6300 miles on that vacation. By the way: It would also be nice if you changed my email adress to this one: peer.hovland@c2i.net Best regards Peer Hovland, Norway
