Can't wait for Spring....

Brilliant cab wheather today (15*C), so I enjoyed a spin in the countryside with the top down

I really missed these weekend spins during our ugly pseudo-winter (no snow + blue sky, but grey and rainy all the time - aaarrrrgghhh

)
Seems I'm not the only one - during the 150 km we spotted at least 15 P-cabs, all the drivers with a big smile on their face

I thought I'd share some pics with you

Mother nature finally is waking up again:

Re: Can't wait for Spring....

The Cayman S rims (which I use for the winter tires) look nice on the Boxey, but I can't wait to switch to the Carrera S rims + summer tires again. The winter tires are useless for a spirited drive -especially at 15*C

Re: Can't wait for Spring....

The 987 is my second convertible and it was a very pleasant surprise to find out just how little buffeting there is with the roof down.

It seems perfectly usable with the roof down at anything from 7*C or so upwards (probably less if you deliberately dress warmly).

Here in the UK we've gone from similar temperatures with lots of sunshine yesterday to today where it has simply rained all damned day.

Amen to that

Three months of commuting seven days a week in a VW Caddy van is sending me crazy

Re: Can't wait for Spring....

I know the feeling. It was +1 today and I was out washing my 987. I cannot wait to really take it out for a fun spin with the top down! I cannot wait to put the summer rubber on!

Re: Can't wait for Spring....

I know, I know, you don't want to hear it, but it was 21 degrees celsius this weekend and I drove along the beach in a t-shirt...
