Next step in fettling current Boxster:-

Before:-

After:-

Need to do something with the bleed nipple plastic cover

I seriously like that refurb............  I saw the the top before pic first and thought another red caliper.

Nice to see a non red restored to original... what did you finish the caliper with  ?

LOL! ?

Why use Royal Mail when you can go for a long drive in your Boxster instead?  I must add "delivering a letter" to my list of perfectly good reasons to grab the keys and go.

You may be a newbie @Gronk but you're learning quickly!  ?

 

Just call it a Post Box  !................. I'll get my coat 

It passed , no advisories

MOT time in an hour  !!

First it will have been for since being in my ownership    

My Boxster took me and my daughter over to see my very elderly dad...........  It was nice to see him and nice to even have a bit of roof down action on the way home smack bang in the middle of winter.

Panicked about an oil leak under the car. It seems quite a lot of oil, but is golden in colour. I have booked in with a specialist - Neil Garner in Kemble - for a diagnosis.Looks to be around the gearbox. A few drips in the middle and a couple either side.

Gulp.

i had this , turned out it was the infamous rear main seal and whilst in there, it was prudent to do a clutch and intermediate shaft bearing oil seal too.

Collateral damage was a broken o2 sensor in the disassembly stage ..... all got a bit expensive

Took it out and blew away the cobwebs...........  as if I need reminding how much I love my Porsche

My daughter is over just now so we took a little drive to the Mirador Hotel for coffee this morning. Nice twisty road about 20 mins inland.

 

Somehow the Boxster looks right there

Took my dear mother out in it - "ooh, it sounds good and it's much nicer than your father's BMW Z4"....

Apparently dad is now checking Autotrader for 987's.....

 

For what its worth I've had a Z4 and hated every minute of it, they're not a patch on a Boxster IMO

Caught the edge of my toolbox on the passenger door................  Yes, the one I had to have beautifully repainted last summer at huge expense by Porsche approved bodyshop after scraping it on a wall.

Will I ever learn to be less careless  ?   

Found the rattle thats  been alluding me all summer...............  the two little plastic end stops in the spoiler when its raised  

Could'nt resist a blast out in mine this afternoon in the glorious autumn sunshine.

Carrying on from the popular general "What have you done" topic on the main forum, this ones 986 specific   

I'll kick off
