    Finally - Baby arrived !

    Hiy guys - I proudly announce the arrival of our new Boxster S SmileySmiley

    The baby was born a bit ahead of schedule which allowed me to present this beauty just in time for the 20th wedding anniversary to Mrs. PJ - just a different kind of jewel for my girl Smiley

    For now I can only upload some showroom pics (no time due to crazy workload and extensive travelling Smiley) - full report and tons of pics will follow once we enjoyed our break-in tour in the Alps later this month.

    All I can say is that we are extremely happy with our choice after the first 200 km - the car is an absolute beauty (pics don't do it justice) and it's a blast to drive. PSE in tunnels is unreal SmileySmiley

    Enjoy the pics...

    Re: Finally - Baby arrived !

    Congratulations PJ, a magnificent looking car and a wonderful 20th anniversary present for Mrs PJ. A tour of the Alps will be wonderful in your new Boxey- our dream trip that we keep promising ourselves but have yet to enjoy.....Smiley

    Even though blue is normally our choice, white is definitely THE colour for the new Boxster kiss

    You must ask your dealer to adjust the wheel crest - the base of the Porsche crest should align with the tyre valve - it's one spoke out of alignment in your wheel close up pic .....

    PJ,  your car is STUNNING !  My only reservation on the new model is the increased blind spot offered by the new top and increased height an width of roll bars.  Can you comment on your experience.  Much appreciated......
