deanmr2 Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Here are a couple of pictures of my new to me Boxster 981 and I absolutely love it. I just had the PSE retrofitted and it sounds absolutely amazing just can’t get the smile off my face every time I go for a drive. I have owned a 986 and 987 Boxster S’s but I have got to say the 981 takes the Boxster to a new level, it just seems much more grown up and in my eyes a much more stylish car interior and exterior wise. All Boxsters are brilliant but I think Porsche upped their game when they designed the 981. I plan on doing an Italian lakes road trip next year but in the meantime I will enjoy the car to the max. Life is good. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topbox Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Well done, and welcome to the red interior club. A trip around the Italian lakes, perfect Boxster use. Enjoy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ribroaster3 Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Very nice 👌 You can see the DNA and the evolution of the design coming through in the 981. More roomy in the cabin too , which I need. Enjoy Might see you on a run round the scottish ‘lakes’ over the summer……..😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like red interiors but when I saw the pictures of the car I wasn’t so sure but when I went to view the Boxster I absolutely loved it’s red interior I think the colour really lifts the cabin plus it has the extended leather which makes it a great place to be feels very luxurious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not been anywhere yet mate-I’ve only been a Boxster owner since September last year and didn’t drive my 986s much over winter. Now in my 981 so looking forward to top down motoring and rediscovering some Scottish roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, extended leather here too it's nice. My car is Rhodium silver. Looks good with black cars too, although for many a red interior is their worst nightmare. An orange car with a red interior was for sale on Auto trader a few weeks back, that did NOT look good 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michelin Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Welcome to the club. Your car is stunning! I came from a 997 and could never sell my 981 - there is just that something very special about them. Get a pair of BMC air filters to hear some extra induction! I cleaned mine out at the weekend and boy they were filthy! Enjoy 🚗 💨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Days Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I'm just back from a trip around Lake Garda - pre season. Speed limits are 50kph all around the lake and the one good road in the region, the Strada della Forra, was closed due to a landslide and didn't look to be opening any time soon. Apart from that, it was a great place to visit. We stayed at Malchesine, then Riva del Garda before touring down the west side of the lake and staying at Pescheria del Garda. Lovely spots with great food and wines - and not too dear. The good thing about being out of season was that there was loads of parking available and not too many tourists. We did a day trip to Verona (worth doing) and didn't even have to queue to get into Juliet's balcony. We got a recommendation to visit Borghetto and that was worth a visit - houses built in the river for protection. in the mid 80s I did a trip around Como, but can't recall much about that. I hear that Maggiore is the pick of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
