  1. Today I winked at my 86 after spending the morning and early afternoon bathing in waves of @rse end torque and sublime pointiness courtesy of the 96. 

    I discovered just how “narrow” the narrow bodied 911s are😱

    turns out the 86, has become, dare I say it? A Garage Queen😳

    Bambi and Thumper

     

  2. I’ve pushed the Carrera to the point the LSD and TC lights are saying, almost enough. It’s a very different animal. 

    I believe they meet markedly different needs. The 986 is a scrambler, B road weapon. The 911 wants more road to exploit its potential and feels like much more metal. 

    I love the B Road life, so Boxster is the dream car for me. At least now I know how different they really are. I think I expected much the same and was ready to be underwhelmed. Glad I’m now appreciating  the differences in a more positive light. 

    My “Base”  broom is always going to be up front. I’ll not say the same of the Carrera. 

  3. So I decided to add a little weight...

    Roof swap

    black with a glass window, suits you, Sir!

    Proper clean thing! 

    Roof swap

    Only temporary on loan until a swap can be made for another black glass roof with a more rakish demeanour😏

    surprised myself today with a bit of spannering.

    The lights look great! Any issues with the indicator light colour?

    Wonder if it could be done with film as a less permanent mod?

    Thanks, I think the light colour is controlled by coloured bulbs which work well. Reversing light is bright enough not to matter being red. It’s all upside in my book, though Saxosim left the reversing light clear which creates a different look. Film would doubtless accommodate this easily. Have you seen any?

  5. Ah, I have Mr @Harri986 to thank for those beauties! They were previously adorning his “special” 986, and it’s no exaggeration to say that the very best of my car is modelled on his. Trust me though it’s a pale imitation of the original, I’m very happy with it.

    Mr @Saxosim has painted a similar effect on his ambers with a superb result, of your looking for something similar...
