Boxster!

[MattNM3E36]

Well,

after a very long time in the wilderness of boring cars (following the untimely demise of my M3 3 years ago) at last I'm getting a PH friendly car!

2.7 Basalt Black Boxster due for delivery 14th Sept, and that day just cant come quick enough.

:driving:

Congratulations Matt.

Cheers Daz!

Well done, don't let the people with negative comments get you down - 100% of them have never owned a boxster, it is a fantastic car to own and drive.

[MattNM3E36]

Cheers folks!

I've had the 'girls car' dig, but that from a Mondeo owner, so I'll live

Went to have a look at a Basalt black in the flesh yesterday, and it just confirmed that the del date cant come soon enough ;-)

Great choice!

I've just bought a 2.7 in Seal Grey, to get the best out of the car make sure you "stir" the gears.

It truly is a great car!

All the best

I've bought my 2.5 l in 1997 has now + 200.000 miles on it. One problem : getting the smile of your face after all those miles and miles of fun.
Good luck

[MattNM3E36]

ann and vand: cheers!

engines
200,000 miles? 200 thousand! really?

Strong then?

I just cant wait! saw a basalt black new 'S' just now i near work (Bracknell) - lovely!

[MattNM3E36]

Meant to say that the visit to Porsche added to the options (after seeing it in the 'flesh')


Just had to add:

Park assist
18" S Alloys (with colour crests)
Wind deflector
Bose stereo

Scary how quickly the cost goes up with a few options!

[vandereydt]

Yep 200 thousand miles indeed (335.000 KM).
All on one engine and only two breakdowns when the V-belt failed due to the airco's "v-wheel" coming of.
On top of normal service items I replaced the fuelpump, and the variocams and had the starter overhauled.
If this then qualifies as a strong engine, yes I think so.

For those interested, a pic of our Boxster is now in my profile.

Bosxter S in basalt black was my first Porsche a couple of years ago now - fantastic car, roof was hardly up. My only gripe....keeping it clean for any length of time !

[MattNM3E36]

vand: mental mileage!, good news
ad: your car looks superbI can see why youre on

ambo: thats the problem i had with the old m3, constantly cleaning the black paint - so with another black one on the way I better get a bulk of zymol in!

Great Car

I recently swopped my 2.5 Boxster for a 330Ci Sports.....which I regret!!!

[MattNM3E36]

Well,

now I'm getting the Boxster, the mrs thinks we should sell her MR2 (MK2) and get something 'sensible' as I've had nothing but good experience with BMW's (bar the tt in the P.O van totalling my beloved M3) I think it'll be another BM

If I could find the right one at the right price id love to get her another E36 M3
