Good idea! Was watching Bond in Spectre the other night, and he said, "hey dad, James Bond has an ejector seat!..let's try ours out!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whaleblue Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 As a "Hitch Hikers'" fan I'd find a home for the "Don't Panic" sticker if it needs one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 But that wasn't a button. You'd need a black label on a black switch with a black light that lights up black on a black background. ...Or the thumb as I mentioned before.

Mike Cad Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Anyhow, from buttons to new cars. I have ordered a 718 Cayman S for a March/April delivery. Hoping March so I can avoid the new car tax rules. The order books look fuller than for the 981 launch but for someone, the delivery was too early so I got their slot when they cancelled. i did test drive it and I'm fine with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Cad Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I took the bits I liked from the 981, removed the odd bit and added some new bits. White (didn't want another red and didn't like any of the other colours). Black Leather Interior (compared to the base interior, the leather just looks much nicer). Same as 981. Deletion of model designation (would be too wordy otherwise). Same as 981. Bi-Xenon with PDLS (LED's are far too expensive even though they look cool). Same as 981. Park assist front and rear (don't need a camera really). Rear sensors only in 981, I guess I wanted the graphical representation on the cars screen, the rears only just get the beep. I don't really need something to tell me where my front is though... PDK (had that with my last two Boxsters). Same as 981 (no arguments please :)) PASM (ride comfort really, it is noticeably better in normal mode on 20s). Same as 981. PTV (didn't have this on my 981 but thought it would be a good thing to have this time). Sport Chrono (I don't use launch control but I do use sport plus from time to time). Same as 981. 20-inch Carrera S wheels (as I had on the 981 I think but the styling is new, they're also painted in white) Automatically dimming mirrors with rain sensor (because I'm lazy and am used to it). Same as 981. Heated Multifunction Steering Wheel (had multifunction in my first Boxster, changed to Sport Design wheel on my second, now I want to control stuff with it again. I don't really care about the heating part though). Sports seats Plus (2-way, electric) (I like the extra support, smoother leather etc). Same as 981. Seat Heating (because in Winter it gets really cold). Same as 981. Passenger footwell storage net (because it's free and wasn't a separate option on the 981) Porsche Crest embossed on headrests (because it looks cool and should be standard IMO). Same as 981. BOSE Surround Sound (had sound package plus on my first Boxster and hated it, have Bose currently and much prefer it. The premium sound system is far too expensive). Same as 981. Connect (well I want to connect my phone for music mainly, something that was missing from my 981. Two or three times a year I might need to fire up the Apple sat nav, hoping it has improved a bit in the last few years). So that's about it, despite the dealer insisting that I should go for the Porsche Sat Nav, at huge expense, with the potential of adding Connect Plus for even more expense... They were very insistent about resale value but I had to insist that I don't buy a car worrying about what the next owner might think. No PSE either, I've not had it before and not missed it, if it gave a power increase I might contemplate it but to have something that just shapes a sound differently when you press a button, that comes from the Apple camp of printing your own money Oh and I removed the light design package, because it is really bad... A bioluminescent jellyfish would be a far better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
