I've let you 993 fans down..
Discussion
after trying and failing to find a decent 993 that I liked, at the right price, I took the easy option and bought a Boxster S from a main dealer. Sorry!! But, hopefully, will give me the Porsche bug, and next year can trade up to a 996!
In any case, is a Boxster allowable to come along to the meet???

Domster - I looked at a few in the garages and privately, and almost every one of them was silver or black/blue. I saw two in rainforest green, loved it and bought one of them. I know it might be more difficult to sell, but I decided it was worth it to have something SLIGHTLY different.
SB930 Turbo - not sure. Can I let you know next week some time?

Glad to see you saw sense and bought one of the best handling Porsches ever made....(IMHO

I'm still considering a 996 though....

I'm bored of polar silver, even if it is a nice colour.
Know what you mean...I know its traditional but there are TOO MANY silver Porsches IMO. Mine's Lapis Blue which I love...there's something about Guard's Red though that is speaking to me at the minute. And its saying Carrera 4 Coupe....ummmn.

I like Guards Red. And I saw a lovely Boxster S , Guards Red, 18" Sportdesign wheels, low mileage...but I still couldn't buy it. I had visions of gold chains, and low-buttoned shirts..aviator sunglasses, and an italian accent!!!

Ahhh. So should Greg, you and I open up a Salon then?


Thanks...I'm having a crisis as it is!!
No, seriously - after having driven it, im very happy with my choice, and I cant wait unti I pick it up this evening. I'm also sure that the insurance company is very happy with their £3k premium

Hey. I'm a New Man. I'm in touch with my feelings. I can drive a Boxster S!

How anyone can think >200bhp per tonne is hairdressery I'll never know. But there you go. Enjoy your new beast. You will love it. This weekend I'm off for a thrash around the Brecon Beacons. Hope you get to enjoy yours in the sunny weather...

Holy s**t! You must have a lousy post-code!?! I pay £1100 WITH Track Day cover.
Thinking of that. Have you joined PCGB? I rather enjoy their magazine and I'm going to a couple of their track days this year. I you like Porsches its worth it, I reckon.
Anyway. Enjoy!
