Put it through an MOT , passed with no advisories , noticed that it had only done 1600 miles since the last test ☹️

Are these badges N rated ? I think we should be told 

Never thought they were handed , mine looked exactly the same from both sides 

Always fancied an RD400 on expansion pipes ( remember them ? )😃

Maybe wear pants when you're driving ? 

Right wheels , wrong car

Take your pick , I've used these in the past and had good service 

Good to see you're OK , better to hit tyre walls rather than trees ! 

Just an afterthought , what if the heat has damaged the foam and not the actual leather ?

Worth having a word with Douglas valley breakers ?

Had some battle scars on the rear bumper and rear boot lid ( don't ask 😬 ) repaired and repainted , also took the opportunity to change the Boxster logo to a Black one , well pleased with the results

Its going to be a reciprocal saw or by hand I'm afraid 

☹️ Yup , this is how I did mine , best of luck

Good video and an interesting perspective on the IMS situation .

If a garage is competent enough to change the oil on an Astra , why not on a Boxster ?  

If you like the car and you're happy with the price buy it .

Assume you've taken it back to where you got the pump fitted , I wouldn't worry about it (easy for me to say I know), they need to check root cause re fuse blowing as part of the diagnosis. 

The Video I linked may help re diagnosis if you're handy with spanners...

Pump sounds to be the least of the problem , I'm surprised they didn't investigate the fuse issue further .

Very good looking car , those wheels set it off nicely 

Don't bother with the PS4s , get an X-Box instead  

Something like this 

Well worth doing just for peace of mind , but as has been said , make sure you undo the filler plug first , wouldn't be the first time a filler plug has seized or stripped its splines 😬  

Fitted a new Varta Battery just to be on the safe side , I know the old one is at least 6 years old , so better to be safe than sorry . Came with a 5 year guarantee , supplied by Tayna , ordered yesterday , delivered today !

I imagine @Patt was very emulsional seeing that....

That was a bad pun sorry ... we can just gloss over it 

We need to be primed for these bad puns

Ok , based on a standard size 20kg Cement bag of 450x300x130 , I recon you cold squeeze 16 bags in , 5 in the boot - 3 laid front to rear and 2 laid length ways on top of those 

6 in the frunk, 4 stacked on top of each other and 2 bags stood on their ends .

5 in the passenger foot well , 3 laid down 2 laid on their sides 

But given how flexible a bag of cement can be you might be able to wedge a few more in .

(disclaimer -don't complain to me about broken springs etc ) 😄

Get the rear brake pipe replaced that goes over the gearbox while it’s out. 

^^^ this exactly , it'll save a lot of pain and expense at a later date
