porschetreff - Terje's cars

They are celebrated all over the world – the Porsches. At the weekend, the event took place at Rudskogen Motorsenter. A very wide range of Porsche entertainment.

On track

Racing was held, including several races as part of the Porsche Carrera Cup. It was fantastic to see and hear the cars in their "natural" element at Rudskogen. The break program started with the Porsche Vintage Race. It naturally went at a much slower pace. Afterwards, the "Race of Stars" was run, where celebrities were allowed to duel two by two. The first participants were Linni Meister and Jan Thomas. Then I went for a walk in the depot where the cars from the veteran race had just arrived. Later, young people between the ages of 16 and 18 could practice on the track in cars with double pedal sets - Porsches of course.

Very nice to look at

In the depot area at Rudksogen there was, among other things, a separate tent where the public could drive Porsches on Playstation. There was also a separate tent where you could study the new all-electric Porsche Taycan. Both in the depot area and in the car park there was an opportunity to study great Porsches up close. The exhibition also included the audience's own Porsches. Porsche owners were allowed to park right up at the tracks, while the rest of us had to park down by the main road.

I took a number of pictures of cars in the depot area and in the car park. I have commented below each image and the images can be viewed in a larger format by clicking on them.

- And the Taycan?

Everyone wanted to see the new "Norwegian car". I stood in a very long line. After standing on the spot resting for about fifteen minutes, one of the organizers came and told me that "my" queue was only for those who had reserved a Taycan. The had not jeg. Therefore, I was referred to another queue, at least as long. According to the organizer, they would not let anyone in from the other queue until the "reservation queue" was empty. Then I dropped the idea of catching a glimpse of the Taycan. I could probably have waited an hour - but not more.

- Should have ordered a Taycan!

Rudskogen Motorsenter

When the Oslo sea airport at Gressholmen became too small, the state decided to establish a new airport at Fornebu. A facility for servicing aircraft both on land and at sea. What is today Sjøflyhavna Kro was built in 1939 as an expedition building to serve seaplane traffic. At the time, it was believed that amphibious aircraft would dominate the airspace. Pan Am's flying boats had begun transatlantic flights. As far as I know, none of them ever came to Fornebu.

A contemporary colourist

Sjøflyhavna Kro, with its simple funk style, is a typical period color for the 30s and 50s. The style is not typically Norwegian. It could be anywhere in the world. Unfortunately, the place is not suitable for recreational boats, but is all the more popular for land-based recreational vehicles.

It is not only the building itself that creates the color of time. Also the space around. The small harbor facility makes a positive contribution. But I miss the old launching ramp, where the municipality's fire boat is now moored. A launch pad would create more life. Maybe we could see interesting boat projects? Fortunately, the square has not been developed with modern buildings. The place still looks like a seaplane port.

Aquarium plans

Selvaag Bolig, buyer and developer of Fornebu Sentrum in the Koksa area, has launched plans to build a large aquarium outside Sjøflyhavna. The Funkis building is listed, but will probably disappear visually in the new building stock. The prestigious aquarium will look like a new opera house. It could be a really great tourist attraction, but the car enthusiasts will probably have to look around for a new gathering place.

Nice cars

The seaplane harbor is located in my immediate area. I often pass there when I walk my two Dachshunds. Quite often it flows to others who air the great ones the cars theirs. Maybe just a short reconnaissance round to look for acquaintances? Maybe for a cup of coffee and something to bite into? While enjoying refreshments and food at the inn, they may see a grey-haired dog owner with two male dachshunds in tow. A bag of dog poop in one hand, and a camera in the other. If the pictures turn out well, they might end up on Instagram or here on Terjesbiler.no.

Wondering where to take your fancy car this weekend?
