This is what California dreaming looks like. 🔥
The red 996 is cheaper than Hectors black Type R, but when you say I drive a 911 sounds better then say I drive a Type R 😂 no offence Hector .
Shout out Hector. The car friends that are always down to drive hundreds or thousands of miles for a good marketplace deal are real ones. 🤝
That’s my dawg!!!
Congrats on the Porsche. Now it’s time to Volvo swap it
Light work
@@WillemVerb There was an old guy around the corner from me when I went to college, it was sort of a hobby of his that he'd get these basket case Porsches and build them back, made a bit of side money in the process, he'd re-do them, drive them a bit, then sell it when he found another basket case.
@@WillemVerb No reaction
I love finding fellow moose heads in the comments.
lol
Porsche 911 is the new Leica M6 ;D
depends which generation.
Congratulations!!! You’re gonna love it!
always has been lol
Is it clapped had me dying 🤣🤣🤣
As a petrolhead and photographer myself, I certainly must say this and the new Porsche and also Subaru videos are one of my favourites of yours. There is just something about photography and cars that feels symphonic.
Everyone needs a homie like Hector in their life.
Dude, no lie there...
I've been watching your videos since day one, and seeing how this channel has grown over time is such an inspiration. Congratulations, Willem! 🥂
A manual 996, great! The 996 is because of the headlights the most underrated and less expensive 911's currently. Prices are going up.
yeah, and don't to forget the rust that the 996 has to deal with.. :/
A salvaged 996 with overheating issues is nothing to brag about.. Trade in a Leica M6 and you can have one too
Everyone needs a friend like Hector.
Love this video, great pictures throughout. They just kept getting better and better! Looking forward to seeing what you work on, on the car channel.
Bravo! I have had that same dream myself, litterally since I was a teenager! Looking foward to the wrenching videos on the car channel. I've been told these are easier cars to work on than Volvo, but we'll soon see! Congratualions on finding complete beauty like that! Cheers, Willem!
The shot (view) of you @9:22 is amazing! Get that printed!
Hector’s a real one man. Incredible road trip and congrats on that beauty!
Cars and photography! Godamn! My favorite things. Congratulations on your new car!
Lovely car man! that shot next to the fireside lodge is beautiful. Well done you deserve it 🤝
Your Volvo series ended up on my CZcams page, as I am a Volvo fan. I must say that your editing in this story is on par with top CZcamsrs. You have a knack for this. Combine my respect and appreciation for Porsche's, driving, Sound of the Flat Six and story telling and you were able to this viewer. Keep up the good work kid!
I'm so happy for you man! Genuinely smiling as I watched you walk toward the car outside the DMV 😂 Enjoy this beauty! Much deserved and a nice segue to your Porsche tour video 👏
So happy for you! Car looks freshhhhhhh
Ahhhh this is so rad and I totally saw it coming. Congrats on the new ride.
Willem, sincere congratulations dude. I found your photos first and then was delighted you are a car person. I get the sense you work very hard and of course youre good at what you do. Keep up the awesome stuff and i cant wait to see this 911 pop up on the car channel 🔥
So good man it doesn't get better than this. 911, road trip with friends, film photography.
thanks for bringing us along man, was fun hanging out with you guys
I'm so so so happy for you! congrats
Congratulations! Car looks awesome and what a great trip!
Congratulations! When I picked up my first Porsche, my wife came with me. We just drove from one end of SoCal to another, so no great road trip like yours. But I still remember being the happiest guy on the 405 lol. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Long live the 996.
So sick man! Happy for you! Can’t wait to see the progress on it!
I had a bad day today. Your pure joy of picking up the Porsche and beautiful road trip photos heal me. Thank you, Willem!
My god! congratulations dude, drive safe, love the content. Greetings from Chile on the other side of the world
Hector had that Civic Type R MOVING !!! Congrats on the whip player !
Congrats, I foresee a ton of project videos on your car channel Willem! Love Porsche and hope to own one one day myself!
Phenomenal video. Love to see you get to this level with a sweet 996. Congrats and keep up the fantastic work!
Gotta love friends like hector!
Congrats on the Porsche and amazing video as always. Huge inspo. 🔥
Also grew up watching Top Gear, and the road trip episodes were always my favorite. This felt a lot like that, but more serene, meditative, calm, etc. Great stuff
Congratulations on the new ride!! She’s a beauty
These video are always so well put together. As always keep it up!!!
Might just be one of my favorite videos of all time. First video of yours that I’ve seen, but such an easy sub. Keep it up!!
❤️ Love this! Congratulations! 🎉🍾🎊🎈
Dude! So great getting to meet you in Brooklyn a couple weeks ago even for that short moment. Congrats on the car! Love all the shots from this roadtrip.
Congrats on the Porsche, I am more in envy of where you are photographing that is on my bucket list for sure!
congrats! can't beat cars & photography!
The photos are nice, too. What a place to shoot. Def a vibe.
Congrats mane. The photos of it are sauce too
Nice! I've always loved the 996 (probably because it came out when I was 16). I enjoy both your photography and car content so it's great to see them merge. If some 911 videos showed up on your car channel I would be ecstatic! Make sure to get that IMS bearing sorted if it hasn't been already.
Absolutely stunning, I have been looking at 996s recently and seeing a red one is so refreshing as there are so many grey/silver/black cars. Enjoy many happy miles
so stoked for you man!!!!
Enjoyed every minute of this footage. Top photographer + Top car = Top Gun!!!
Whatched this while listening to "silent cries and mighty echoes", what a beautiful landscape you offered us. Thank you.
Congrats on your new car!
Congrats bro - you deserve it!
Many congratulations with the Porsche complemented by a memorable road trip. A very enjoyable watch :).
will love watching this journey on the 2nd channel
Welcome! Pelican parts forum and rennlist is a treasure trove for Porsche knowledge
The Portra Porsche™
That photo of the road at 11:16 is so nice by the way, it just has that air of a proper photograph, all the elements in the landscape come together super nicely, the clouds are excellent and the varied diffusion of the light just brings it all together. Veery nice matey!
Thank you dude 🙌
@@WillemVerb I sincerely hope this car doesn't turn out to be a headache for you, picking up a Porsche on the cheap sometimes does.
Congratulations with your new Porsche!
Congrats on the car! Volvo and Porsche duo is the way to go ;) Enjoy and stay safe
Quintessential NorCal trip. Congrats on the purchase. Really fun to see you enjoy it in some familiar places with good company.
This is making want to jump in mine and hit the same little route
I’m so glad 996s are getting the love they deserve. I bought my 986 Boxster S (with 996 3.4 swap) two years ago and have loved every moment with it
Hell yes! Dude is out there livin’ life bro
Your video's are unreal... I'm captivated as always.
Got hooked on the Volvos, came back for the Porsche.
Big flat engine enthusiast 🤝 haven’t watched your videos in a while but I’m glad to see you’re still doing well. Congrats on the car.
This is best advice join the Porsche club I bought a 987 Cayman I got 27 car built took 3 months to get it’s car I have ever driven the people are great and the knowledge they possess will help you to solve many a problem. I am blessed with having Virginia International Raceway in my backyard the club gets me on the track and they will teach you how to drive fast safely
my guy had the red supreme sweater ready for the occasion, congrats man
Damn what a smooth vid and vibe, congrats once again Willem !
Great friends, great cars, great trip. Cheers!!
WHAT?! That's amazing man! So proud of you bro!
Takes me back to my time working in the Sierra National Forest. Nice ride man
congrats on the car brotha! I own a red 986s and it has been a dream fulfilled
Fantastic video and a lovely car, the red is wonderful
Congrats. Keep an eye on regular oil changes (10-15k km). The IMS is something that if you can change do it, but dont loose your mind.
Modify the exhaust, drive and enjoy.
In Cali and thinking about buying one of these… great video!
Congrats!! Great car! Hope to see it in LA sometime. btw best not to leave your hand on the shifter between shifts.. will wear the forks.
Congratulations and welcome to the world of Porsche and analog cars…drive and not be driven. Beautiful red 996. I have the same passion for Porsche and film cameras.
Wow, that was stunning, thank you
those square space sponsors paying off I see
😂
@@WillemVerb Squarespace is anti-Bill of Rights.
Congrats on the Porsche… hard work pays off… lovely car… one day I’ll be there
Congratulations!!!!! I also baught a salvaged (not a porsche ) but it lasted me 20 years!!!, Hope you get just as many happy years if not more!!!!.
Love the color... and it looks clean!
Dope Willem!!
legendary trip and pick up man. i just bought an e90 m3 and i wish i still lived in cali to get some beautiful shots w it.
Congrats! Very nice video, reminds me of the day I got my 997.
Congratulations .. such a beautiful video
I am happy for you!
Good choise, congrats and have fun with your 911!!
Amazing footage and a sweet car ! Wishing you lots of happy miles together. En zijt voorzichtig ! Grtz from da homeplace 🖖
Simply elegant
Sublime. Absolutely sublime. Take the V70R from your other channel on one of these next. Would love to see it!!
Wow well deserved, the dream!
Another satisfied customer hehe What a nice one you scored! Congrats on the new car!
The famous Coachella trees!!
Congrats. 996 is a great car. I too just recently got my first 911 and I doubt I’ll ever be without one again. One of my favorite things to do is throw the camera and the dog in the car and explore. Enjoy!
Oh that's delicious. A floor shift manual. I thought it was a paddle shift. Much much better. Those cars are getting rarer.
There are Porsche tours you can take in various parts of Europe where you drive with a group of other people in rented Porsches between resorts for a week or so.
Congratulations! 996s are great cars!
Nice color and the stripe looks good.
Congrats, I looked at that 911. You got a solid car for the money. The respray is a little rough at the edges, but for the money you can't complain everything else seemed sorted. Enjoy, it's a great looking 996.
Hector wit the OG fast & furious quote 😂 - the real ones know
996 911 is my dream car, what an incredible journey. Photos were outta sight Willem.
This is super exciting! Seeing your love for Porsche in that previous video I knew it would only be a matter of time before you got one yourself. Do you still have the red WRX to match?
