Dubdubz Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Picked it up!!!!! 981 club joined. IMHO a very nice Boxster S in Sapphire Blue, lots of extras … not sure who said these are not quick, I think they’re pretty fast. Plenty fast enough. I’ll do a ride report soon 😎 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll do a ride report soon 😎 Don't laugh, but, as well as quick enough, they're also a smooth, quiet, comfortable cruiser when you want them to be. The suspension in the 981 is a class leading masterpiece that's difficult to describe, because it just does everything so well, compliant yet firm. You don't get a battering like you do in a 987, that's for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moospeed Posted Friday at 10:58 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:58 PM Took two cars to the restaurant for my birthday lunch with the family. After lunch they turned left for home, I turned right for 3-4 hours of fun in the Lil’ Red Devil on the twisties. Been a couple of weeks since I drove it, really is a bit of a rocket when hoofing to overtake safely 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a good deal on it at the time it was a Billy bargain, said he needed to throw a grand at it , but if can pitch it right at the price it would be still a good bargain, without him being greedy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanmr2 Posted Saturday at 07:06 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 07:06 PM Over at Porsche Glasgow on Friday to book my Boxster in to get cruise control retrofitted. Planning on doing lots of road trips to Europe so I want the CC for relaxed driving on the motorways. Booked in for the middle of May then my Boxster will be the exact spec I was looking for when Boxster shopping. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted yesterday at 03:01 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 03:01 PM Left at 7.30 am this morning for an absolutely smashing run from Glasgow, up Loch Lomondside to Tyndrum, through Glencoe to Fort William then up to Mallaig and back today - Sun splitting the sky all at and traffic was very light on the way up 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRobins Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago Moonshine, I thought you had stolen my car so I had to check my garage! Relived to find it still there! We had rain all day in Northumberland but the sun came out last night so I took mine for an evening blast. Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Replaced front and rear pads, discs and sensors. There was plenty of meat left on the old (6.5 year old), but not enough, in my opinion, to be safe for a couple of track days where I need to travel home afterwards safely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubdubz Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago New front tyres - Michelin Pilot sport 4 S's from Mr Tyre £468 with hopefully £40 cashback from Michelin Car felt better on short drive home for certain - the old ones were very hard and had some deep cracking ... still hunting the creaks 😞 but one is in the rood for deffo - so I will take the front metal strip and drop the roof lining to see whats going on...

Patt Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago I discovered that you can no longer add in the shop you bought from on the Michelin site - no cashback for me this time 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
