...and the improved engine noise of having the roof down, don't forget.

I had the day off yesterday, and managed to lock myself out of the house with only my 987.2 Boxster S keys and my bank card for company.

I think that's what they call 'a first world problem'.

By the time the missus got home a few hours later, I was completely sunburnt and a little deaf (I'm enjoying the new Carnewal I bought from Paul_M3 a bit too much!) and had got through £40 worth of Super.

Best day off in years.

Originally picked up my 1st Porsche last week but had to go back to the dealer to fix the Sat Nav. Got it back today, 29 degrees and a brilliant drive through the country roads from Wantabe to Basingstoke via Newbury - top down all the way

Yup, days like this I quite like my other half having a 911 Cabriolet with a sports exhaust. Did have to use it to nip out for a few messages.

So sorry you had this problem with the lockout... Can't really feel too sorry for you though, somehow...? Lol.

New joiner here. Been watching this forum for ages and finally got involved...

Moved on from BMWs, Mercs, Audis, which whilst superb cars are not Porsches ;-)

Will post pics soon.

The use of the term 'messages' made me check where you are from... Sure enough a fellow Aberdonian.

Lovely day for it.

A lovely day indeed! Just been for an out-of-town hoon around the leafy lanes of Hertfordshire. I actually had to stick a hat on as my ears were getting toasted in the sun. Crazy weather!
