Re: Spring Photos
Your car looks great with the -35mm H&R suspension 
Any words on the drive feeling compared to the stock suspesnion would be appreciated
Thanks for posting the beautiful pics
Weather forcecast over here for tomorrow is blue sky and 16*C
Just the right weather to enjoy the Boxey with the top down 
Just one thing: you should see a veterinarian - the horse seems to be incontinent

How do you like your D80??? Should be picking one up in the next few days but not sure which lens to get it with..
Nice pics by the way!!
I just changed from a Canon 350D to a D80 and am well impressed. The camera's menu system is so much better - pics are also superb.
Was gonna go for the zoom kit with 135mm, but opted for body only and the much raved about 18-200mm VR. Reasons for my choice:
- Wanted a resonably compact 1-lense solution
- Wanted Image stabiliser for low-light non-flash portraits
- Optically its a great lens

Re: Spring Photos
Thanks guys!
Yes, I am very happy with the service from AMAG Riesbach, but some friends of mine are less impressed. Guess it depends on who you have been dealing with and if they woke up on the wrong side that day...
Yes, two words: it rocks!
Seriously, it is a huge improvement over the stock suspension. It is very firm, it feels like the car is glued to the road and there is almost no lateral movement when cornering. I changed to 19", H&R springs and Short Shifter in one go and I could believe it was the same car I had handed in to the workshop two days earlier. In addition, it also looks much more aggressive.
I really like it. Very easy to use, switch on and fire off in full auto-mode, yet it offers a vast range of advanced settings if you don't want auto-mode. Photo quality is amazing.

Thanks for your report
Are you comparing the H&R with stock or PASM 
Overall I'm still quite happy with the PASM (after 22k km), but I hear from buddies who did the PSS9 or the H&R concersion that both would make the car even "sharper" when cornering. I guess I've to testdrive one of these

I second that.. I've got the same setup (D80+18-200vr) and the results are truly amazing. Also bought a 50mm/1.4D and the photos with that lens are more sharp than the zoom-lens. Great for portrait-photos and such
Bluelines, great pics by the way!! Looks like you had a fantastic day out there... Spring has arrived in Stockholm this weekend as well.. we had 12 degrees today

Re: Spring Photos
BTW I had a blast today enjoying a spirited drive with some 15 P-buddies (from 2.4 911 to Speedster to 964 Turbo to 997 - just all of them) Thought I'd share some pics as this is the "Spring Photos" thread - hope you don't mind 
It's a crap camera but I thought the spirit counts
Some P-nuts enjoying the first Spring spin

I also have the 18-200mm VR and it's a great travelling lens.
However, it can't do macro and it's not as fast or sharp as a F1.4 50mm....

Re: Spring Photos
Most impressive to follow these two Oldies for 100 km winding countryroads. It's so amazing what these babies are still capable of - the sawing sound, the smell (no cats ), the cornering speed and even the straightline performance (in the countryroad speed range at least) is most impressive if you consider that it's 35 years old technology I guess 1,000 kg curbweight really can make a difference Of course the drivers judged the afternoon as "work behind the wheel" but sometimes even work can be fun

Our South of England Rennteam Meets seem to have died, unfortunately,not helped by one of us defaulting from Porsche to a Fast Ford Hatchback.
Sorry to hear that
There's nothing like playing around with a bunch of other P-nuts Maybe we can have a mini Rennteam meeting later this year in June
Fast Ford Hatchback - haha, I know someone who wouldn't be too happy with with this description of his car
But maybe he'll come back one day - once the P-bug bites you, the disease won't go away (there is no medication against it - not even this admittedly beautiful hatchback)

Yes, lets arrange a Rennteam meeting in the summer
My mini Rennteam meeting remark was referring to a driving holiday in England which is scheduled for the second half of June
Of course the alpine region always is worth to go there for a prolonged weekend or so (it's a quick drive via the Autobahn, as long as the green politicians don't prevail with their crazy idea of a general speed limit 
)

Hmm, the front on the base Boxster looks much better than the Boxster S. That stupid FAKE air intake on the Boxster S does not serve any purpose.
I agree - the impression is even stronger if you see the cars without front numberplates on the road. I've been impressed how much better the Boxster 2.7 is looking without the front numberplate, when I saw one for the first time in LA (btw that was also a Speed Yellow one). Of course we know the look from the showrooms, but in its natural habitat it looks even better. Perhaps I should order my next car with the "skip the fake intake" option and get an US registration
@ timlb: great pics - thanks for sharing with us
Your car looks sharp Ehem...your house is also very nice
