Hello all,

Does anyone have any recommendations or have a set in good shape they would like to sell to me? I had a quick look around online a few days ago but can not find one on usual online resources. The winter holidays soon, so would be good to fit this! thumbup






Thanks

Sold mine locally in CH last year for the equivalent of £100.

Had some fun with it but once you have worked out how to fit the hidden a-pillar brackets, there are two major issues to deal with.

No.1 is that I wind noise goes off the scale - worst with skis on but still bad with a roof box. I only ever rolled with the soft top but 'motorway speeds' become very tiring.

No.2 is that when fitted, you cannot drop the soft top, which can be a frustration at times.

Worth it for the giggles though if you can find one around £100 but probably more sensible(boring) to rent skis wherever you plan to ski.

Too bad, missed yours than. Speaking of Confoederatio Helvetica, Have you ever driven your boxster to Saas Fee? Wondering if it would be a fun challenge or nightmare hehe

Full radars on ebay now!

Here's the car in the car park at Saas Fee in 2004!

That's super encouraging, thanks! Looks like you had that boxster for sometime.

My summer bucket list would include Basel (Weil Am Rhein) - Ronchamp (Notre-Dame du Haut) route but that's much lighter comparing to Saas Fee in winter
