bally4563 Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 It's a simple as this if you have the opportunity to enjoy the scenery...... Your not driving it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshua3m Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 There is no point to not do drive and only keep the car in garage and drive it any other day. Assuming that you not making a lot miles on your daily commute it's the most fantastic car which you can drive. I just can't justify not to drive it and at the end what's the point having amazing car and not drive it... Lol ( it's like have a wife for 40 years and not even sleep with her 😏) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptspaulding Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Looking forward to better weather when I can drive it properly. I've never owned such a lovely car so at the moment I'm driving it soooo carefully. Storms, rain, snow, ice, flooded roads. Ugh. I have a set of wheels for the old car I need to clear out the garage before I can go buying a set of winter wheels/tyres which will allow me to drive it without believing I'm about to bin it some time soon.

½cwt Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Full bore or pottering, but only visited 7k rpm region . The car seems very capable of both in my 18 months of ownership. A bit of right foot induced rear wheel steering, particularly at low speed, is sometimes very convenient. On TC / stability systems, earliest ones were really only a spark/ignition cut i.e. reverse use of inputs from ABS, it is only the later stability versions that also use positive brake application and even diff management that work most capably.

What traction control lol mine had nothing, the original owner preferred a leather dash to any safety goodies 😁👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninesomething Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Had a psm moment a while back. Less than 30 mph, in town, cold slippery road, cold tyres, turned gently to the left and the whole car started sliding out. Before I could think 'what the f?' Something had cut the throttle, dabbed the front brakes and I was all straight again. Not sure how much that might annoy me if I were having big fun but it saved my bacon that time. Although another millisecond and my outstanding natural reactions would no doubt have sprung into action. I hope.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stupidget Posted March 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Had a couple of good drives this week. 280 mile round trip from Wolves to Reading for a meeting and then a 140 mile round trip from Wolves to Warrington for another meeting. These are probably two of the longest drives I've done in the Boxster since I got it last August and it was a joy to drive, and I must admit having the cruise control on the M40 was a godsend. For those 420 there was not a single 'blip' from the Boxster just miles and miles of fun driving. Wish I could say the same for my Outlander PHEV which has to be the most boring vehicle on the entire planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
