Terryg Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 @Menoporsche any chance of a pic of your car bathed in magnificent med sunshine just to cheer us all up in gloomsville? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Seriously?? It’s been Atlantic rain here the last few days but true it’s sunny now. Cant get a good pic now as an end cap snapped and I should replace it before dropping the roof, so I’m effectively in a Cayman at present! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, what a shame, underneath that flab is a superb looking body 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninesomething Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Somehow that car now looks more like an MX5. Perhaps that's what the owner wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terryg Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 @ArafI assume Tinnutus has some relevance to the fact you don't lower the roof? Did the extra structure required to to stiffen the Boxster to Cayman standard not cancel out any financial saving? Am I up for a ban now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sloppy Boxster chassis is fine by me and tinnitus is aggravated by wind buffeting. Porsche are the ones who should be on a ban. The Boxster was a company saver so was priced keenly. When the Cayman came along, they couldn't bring themselves to price it below the Boxster to reflect manufacturing costs. It is only since the 718 that the prices have finally been realigned.

Interesting commentary on the pricing, I'd never clocked that in the history. I'll take a Boxster chassis any day too , I think they did a great job. I won't take one which looks like it ram-raided the bodyshop section of Halfords, but that's personal taste and we're back full circle to that 986 is NSFW...🤭 (in my opinion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryg Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 I forget what they call that thing he has bolted on the back (is it a diffuser?) anyway it looks terrible and you can see it doesn't fit the bumper, I don't like those "dam" type front bumpers on 986s and those exhaust pipes, what can I say?

Strikes me as another example of 'trying too hard'. And agree with @JonSta's comment re MX5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
