Drove my 911 into a River // Targa 805 Rally

- I drove the 805 Targa Rally with my dad again this year. Tom, Kurht, and Carlu joined us and we had a fun little adventure after the rally finished.
I was hesitant to drive my 1972 Porsche 911 on this rally just because the car was recently painted and it's pretty nice..Ultimately decided to just start using the car instead of staring at it in my garage. My 1988 911 Carrera has always been the car I drive on road trips/rallies. New paint is the main reason I haven't driven the olive car on a rally..and its been in the process of a restoration since I bought it a couple years ago.
The rally route was amazing and the group of people that drove were awesome. We headed home, and ran into this large flooded area of the road. We checked the depth of the water and decided to go for it. I was definitely nervous. Glad I went for it. I dried a few areas really good and used compressed air when I got home. Such a fun time.
Hope you guys enjoy this video. I had a lot fun with these guys. Looking forward to the next one.
Good times son. The rally was a blast. Thanks again for letting your pops drive that sweet ride of yours!
Dad must to be proud. I can imagine him bragging about this day, with the other oldtimers: "My kid is into porsches, he's even got some in his garage. The other day we have crossed a river with one of those..."😂😂😂
Haha. 🙏👊🏻👋🤝
Oh the things I would give to have my father back and to do a rally like this!
Beautiful drive & moment.
Nice ride guys, good road shots! Really cool timing on the eagle in flight, 😳once in a lifetime photo! Nice driving Dad, you taught you son well!😊👍
Kurt is such a character 😂 Amazing video Michael! This is the one
He is. Thanks! Now let’s get to work!
Best Porsche info youtube we my friends have watched so far. We (5) are all 1969-1973 air cooled 911E owners. We are looking foward to seeing more. By the By My cousins' in Japan are now watching you too. Keep it up.Thank you,Tommy E and friends and family
My favorite channel, can’t wait for Thursdays! Love the content , it always gives off the perfect vibe, like I am actually participating in the experience. You have a gift.
Love to hear that, thanks Jim! Means a lot
Great video, I was a little stressed about your river crossing ( I think they call it sympathy pain ) but how cool that you and your dad had a good time together in the area that I have called home for 32 years now, I live about 3 blocks north of Jocko’s and when the wind is blowing north I can smell the bbq pit ( on any given weekend everyone is cooking over red oak in their backyard it’s amazing). I am the fleet mechanic at Edna’s bakery that supplies just about all the restaurants and hotels on the central coast so I find myself driving those very roads that you guys were on,I consider myself very lucky to live in such a beautiful area. The only problem I had with the video was that it made me miss my Dad ,we would drive the backroads in his 280zx or my 72 240z. Again thanks for another great video. Take care🥩👍🏽
John! We ate at Jocko’s because of your recommendation. Thanks for that it was great! My dad ate about 1/4 of his 20 OZ filet. Carlu finished it no problem. Beautiful area, you are lucky. You’ve got the memories with you pop tho! Thanks for the support
@@michaelgideon6422 cool, that makes me happy I’m so glad you guys liked it. Have a great day and may your wife enjoy her Mother’s Day with her newborn. 🖖🏼🖖🏼🖖🏼🖖🏼
I found you on Instagram yesterday, I think I’ve watched 20 of your videos now ha ha good stuff!
Cheers from Minnesota!

Great video, I hope I get to do this one day with my kid. 🤞🏻👍🏻
Right on! Hope you get the chance, worth it!
Great video Great roads Cool Dad. 👍👍👍
Looks like an awesome time. Always fun to have those memories with our dads.
I remember your buddy Kurht was going to do Peking to Paris a few years ago. Think I remember some pics of an old 912. Always thought that would be an amazing experience.
You should do an interview with him. Would love to hear about it. Imagine there would be some great stories. 👍
That tangerine T is awesome.
Great video!
Lovin’ the cars👍
You just got yourself a new subscriber 💥
Thanks and glad to have ya!
Great to do it with your dad. What a car, though!
Thanks! It’s sweet can’t believe I own the thing
What fantastic scenery! And your Dad looks like he's all about pushing Olive around too! And did I see an old Opel in the mix of cars on the run? What a great day for you both, peace to you and yours brother!✌
I caught myself holding my breath...
Imagine getting stuck half way across and try to push your classic car 😅
Is that Kurt in his 911T? Holy crap, I've watched his Petrolicious video on the Sunday morning streets of L.A. down by the waterfront warehouses, too cool!
That’s the guy. That’s a great video
Hey, I recognize Kurt and his 911T from a Petrolicious vid maybe 4-5 years ago, How cool is that? Awesome to be making memories with your dad.
Yea they did a good video on him. We’ve become good buddies
GREAT video from beginning to end!Your dads the man!
Thanks! Haha he’s a lot of fun
Great vid. One of your best so far. Great fun to watch. Well done 👍👍

Such amazing memories from this trip! ✌
Good times amigo! 20 Oz
@@michaelgideon6422 Your dad killed me. He thought he had the stomach but then could only handle 10.2 Oz.
@@CarluFranceschini 8oz ha
@@CarluFranceschini Hahaha it was definitely 10.9 oz. Lot of fun hanging out with you guys Carlu.
@@curtgideon363 You were the star ripping the Olive car... and that legendary jump in the mud! So much fun. Can't wait for the next one!!
Was that Jocko’s steakhouse in Nipomo? 🥩
Yea! That’s the one! Great steaks 🥩
Pray you have not aroused the rust gods, old 911's mud and water are a "combustable" mixture. Beautiful video though.
There wasn’t any mud under there it was a paved road. We drove 90mph for 3 hours home after this. Bone dry everywhere. Thansk
Couldn't afford a bowler wildcat then?
Opted for the Porsche 🤷🏼♂️
