temporarychicken Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Having had the car for quite some time, I decided to recondition the Kahn wheels over the winter, and give the car a bit of a wash and brush-up. It's not only Pat that has crazy aftermarket wheels on this forum. It came up pretty good for a 35k mile car... And the wheels are nice again (a lot of work though).... As of June this year, I'll be celebrating 8 years of ownership of this car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Well done it looks great. I’m just coming up to 5 years with mine. 5 years is usually about the limit for me keeping a car (I don’t think I’ve had any car for 6 years but had a few around 5 years). No plans to change currently, I can’t really think of anything I want more (even if I had the money!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temporarychicken Posted March 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Cheers. I agree entirely. If I sold it, what else would I get? Maybe a new GTS 4.0 but I'd have to put another 40 grand in!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 and at 35k miles in 8 years, that would be pretty expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpg123 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Looks awesome! Keen for views on why the Porsche logo on the wheels isn't pointing to the valve though. 🍿 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GTS 4.0 doesn't excite me enough to change and a 911 doesn't rock my boat either! Should I return to an Evora; the new GT410 before they cease production? 😱 I've just seen the price! I'll be keeping my beloved 981 then😃. Good hunting👍. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamma Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 very nice, what's that M2 comp like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temporarychicken Posted March 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 The M2 comp is great. If the Boxster is 100 percent finesse, then the M2 Comp. is 100 percent brute force! The M Engine is very good indeed, it's brutal in a medium-wheelbase car. The Boxster straight 6 engine revs smoothly and progressively, easily featherable. The M2 Comp. S55 2xturbo engine just goes whoomph and you're off, relying on the driver aids to keep things going well. Both are great for very different reasons. Although from a market perspective the M2 is in competition with the Cayman S/GTS, it's a very different proposition as a vehicle - the classic muscle car vs. sports car comparison. It's nice to be able to run both at the same time and have the choice of which to use. If I had to have just one car then a Boxster 4.0 would be the ultimate choice but it's an expensive one..!
