Mr96er Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Took her to the office today with the roof down in short sleeves. Lovely. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr96er Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Today I have subjected her to a solo breakfast run over the moors to Toft Gate Barn Cafe. I feel obliged to eat a full English breakfast seeing as I've inconvenienced her to such an extent. She looks so lonely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryg Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Cleaned the car thoroughly including the seats. treated all the rubber and plastics and removed the Boxstertop for the final time, real pity but just not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr96er Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I'll bring my spare tomorrow Terry. You can try it for nothing and if it works out, it will save me sending it back, and give your story a happier ending ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate the offer Loz, but I am giving up, the unit worked for a day and then stopped, I don't want to pull that panel again or the wires, eventually something else is going to break. I am sending both mine back by courier on Monday through my business, if you want I'll put yours in as well, no point in sending it separately and paying postage. Talk tomorrow all being well!

Daffy Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Thought about cleaning it (again), then had a word with myself and just drove it. Had too many cars that I cleaned more than I drove them. This car is for driving. Roof down, no destination, just enjoyment ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason986S Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Took my son to Rugby in it. Then on to the skate park, followed by a DIY jetwash on the way home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr96er Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) E30 rag top reminded me of some good times had in the 90s, too! Met a couple of 911 owners who were jolly friendly and might possibly join us on a breakfast run. ? Roger and Rus 996 C4S & 993 Coupe (interested in a Boxster for his house in the south of France) 996 C4 tiptragic respectively.

lbretth Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Got the new wheels on and gave her a wash and wax. The headlights and blue roof are recent additions too. I love how she's looking now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyUK Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 My coil packs are cracked but running well. It's pain bolts like these which put me off changing them! Well done on the results.... Hope you feel the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ken Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Got my 2003 Boxster back at last after 32 days getting the damage caused by a slow reverse into my front wing in a car park rectified. They had to wait for a new front wing, and a couple of small brackets, and it looks a good paint match, although I note they've painted my nearside door as well as I presume blending paint on an old car isn't easy, especially Black! That cost around £2,000, and the (horrible A1800 Mercedes) courtesy car cost another £1600. I'm glad it was all paid for by her insurance with no involvement of mine! Can't wait to get it dirty again..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
