    1400hrs today. Now nicely tucked up in my garage. (My wife is suffering a heavy cold so we abandoned this evening's celebratory meal out)

    Looking good! Hope you didn't drool too much at the dealers.

    Best clean those tyres though - they look muddy!

    Re: In the Clearing Stands a Boxster

    It looks absolutely stunning IMO.
    If that's arctic silver like my 986 I guess there is a chance I can swop the cars without you noticing...? (Why settle for a couple of 19" rims when you can get the full package?

    I'm truly envious! It's SO good-looking, and the mere thought of you driving a better car than mine at less than half the price really makes me wanna....wanna...go and put on a Julie Andrews record...(breathe, breathe...)

    You know what, Ive been thinking a lot about this, and Ive decided that I will gladly help you break it in when I come over. Free of charge! Yes, I know. That kind of generosity is almost too much to handle, but that's the kinda guy I am.

    Yeah, I think it was a number one hit here.....................in 1972...
    I just heard a great new song called "She loves you", by a brand new band Ive never heard before.
    I think they were british and called themselves something like "The Meetles" or "Feetles"...

    Looking very nice.
    Glad you had some sun.
    So, that's what headgear you need in a Boxster !

    Re: In the Clearing Stands a Boxster

    Well, went for a 60 mile workout this afternoon, just me and the car. I had sun, snow, sleet, rain - and the car was just awesome. From a gentle cruise up to Salisbury with Chris Rea on the Bose down to Ringwood and a blast back up to the M27 and back through the New Forest. Bose off, just listening to that flat six music (no more than 4,500 rpm). Instant power, any gear, any speed. PASM amazing. Comfortable in cruise, then fly round a roundabout or through tight corners with no roll at all. No front end dip on braking. Never experienced anything quite like it. And this is just the beginning of the relationship. Wash the car, quick drive to dry out the brakes and then tuck it up in the garage. Porsche driving course in May a definite must have to learn how to get the best out of this wonderful machine.
