Just took the plunge!!!

[Matt555]

And bought myself a Boxster S

I can't tell you how chuffed I am with this one, it's a fantastic motor and now I'm wondering why it took me so long to go and drive one!!! It's faster, cheaper to own and much much better to drive then the S2000 I did own.

It's a tidy '03 in seal grey with some decent toys fitted (Bose/SatNav/Tracker/PSM etc). And hopefully it will be the car I want for year round driving....

Happy driving

Well done indeed.

I hope you have as much fun in yours as I have had

[Matt555]

Thanks fellas, roll on next Saturday

The noise from the S is what sucked me in, fantastic... Oh that and being able to pull away in third and then hold it well into the 'bye licence' zone... After years in Vtecs it's quite a revelation

I'll post my thoughts after a couple of weeks driving..

Anyone in the UK Porsche Club?

Congrat`s - they`re a great allround car and the facelift is the best of the lot.

Porsche Club is big and professional - I`m an ex-member because I found it rather boring, but depending on what you want it can be excellent.

Nice purchase you'll love it im sure - as for the PCGB forget it i'd stick to forums like this one and alike

LOL, I'm not bothered about things like that matey... I've an '03 with BIG spec for 35.5K then add Tracker and Gap......

If you don't mind me asking, what you pay for yours?

I think I'll skip Porsche UK then fellas....

Nice one - I hope you enjoy it!!

I've had my S for exactly one month today, and still absolutley love it!

Mine is fully spec'd up too. All the toys are a must!

Porsche Club Great Britain its called and yes it is big and professional. I'm a member - as are quite a few Porsche PHers.

I'm not bothered about the meets they do - I go along to the odd PH meet for that.

But I *really* like their Track Days and do as many of those as I can.

[themaskedavenger]

I'm a member and have been for the last couple of years.

Have to say I dont get much out of it but if your local garage honnor the PCGB discount it can make the cost worthwhile.

I get most info from the internet to be honest.

Never have enough time for the meets and stuff like that.

[matt555]

What a fantastic week!!!!!!!!!

We collected the motor on Saturday and I just don't want to stop driving

Fantastic car and I'm glad I went for it over some other good but not great motors

Porsche club gb is a good laugh although theres a few stuffy people there as well as those just out for a good social time.Good for networking too plus the obvious discounts you get for being a club member. I suggest you check out a local meeting and go see.
I used to be an organiser for my region and we had a great time although we did gear it towards the more active/fun people,(basically we went away for weekends and had a few sherberts,race meets,clubbing etc)
My advice would be go see for yourself.....Mark

[Matt555]

Thanks matey, I've decided to skip my EVO sub and try out PCGB for the year.

might be a bit cheaper to own but its certainly not cheaper to buy so it probably works out about the same cost as an S in the long run. Congrats though
