A very happy birthday to your 911, easy, the same age as our Boxster would now be - how we wish we'd kept it, neither the Cayman or even the 997/2 that replaced it feel as special. You've been much more sensible than us!
A great report and photos, thanks for posting. We felt the same in the very brief drive we had in the 991 at Silverstone, more like a Panamera coupe in character than a sports car . Like you were amazed by the brilliance of the new Boxster S when we drove it.
We nearly had our car serviced by Mid Sussex last month as they are situated only a couple of miles from where SWMBO 's mother lives, but Bournemouth, whose service department have always been excellent, unlike their arrogant sales dept, were over £200 cheaper. We were only loaned an Audi A3 diesel though!
Wishing you both many years of happy and safe driving in your 911
