Theo86 Posted November 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 Okay...so I never bought Clive's Anni, it was always going to be a stretch and I have my reasons why I never bought it. It is a superb car and Clive is a complete gentleman but I fear it wasn't meant to be. So today I purchased a stunning 986 2.7 in Artic Silver from a Porsche dealer. It has had 2 owners and 54k on the clock. The bodywork is immaculate and the car is very tidy. Drove back from the Midlands so I have done 180 miles. Learnt a lot about the car, how it handles and power delivery. This one feels pretty tight for 20 years old. Love the MX5 but the poise of the boxster seems some how more complex. The noise and grip are intoxicating. Although the power isn't in the "S's" class coming from 130bhp it is enough for me for the time being. Although their is less feedback with the steering than the MX5 the whole package is definitely amazing. I think in the following year I will become completely converted to a Porsche guy.
