Niko Posted 18September, 2012 Report Share Posted 18September, 2012 Good stuff Monty, I will eagerly await the result. Hope it shapes up well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caver Posted 18September, 2012 Report Share Posted 18September, 2012 Having owned my Boxster (non S) for 4 months now, I totally agree with Nick. It's very easy to go fast. Too easy! The real skill with these cars is to drive them slowly! That takes patience and maturity. Of course we want to go hammering down the road and when on the motorway at 120kph it is so easily converted into 160kph with just a slight blip on the throttle. And then you're in serious points loss territory! You're also right about the Monday morning conversations in the office. "What did you get up to on the weekend?". I'm so tempted to say "200kph", but I just smile and nod. It's intoxicating getting behind the wheel and I love every minute of it. BTW, Nick, I ordered a new "Boxster" badge for the rear boot lid. They sent the "Boxster S" by mistake. Do I put it on or don't I? Is there a Tribal subcategory for NON S cars with a S badge?? :-) Good luck Monty with the PPI! Let us know how it goes.

withers Posted 18September, 2012 Report Share Posted 18September, 2012 Caver - chop off the S maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caver Posted 18September, 2012 Report Share Posted 18September, 2012 Maybe if I buy an umbrella...? But seriously, the "S" is separate to the main badge, no cutting required...I could always sell it? (You should see how many there are on Ebay!) I replaced the existing "Boxster" badge, which was black, with a satin silver badge. Looks heaps better, particularly as the car colour is so dark.

withers Posted 18September, 2012 Report Share Posted 18September, 2012 Go the umbrella! It's just the S that's for sale on eBay or the whole badge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nick987 Posted 18September, 2012 Report Share Posted 18September, 2012 Those that don't know, don't need to know...Those that know don't need a badge. How many 'M' badges do you see on non-motorsport BMW's and how just totally tryhard/desparate does that look? Nah, go factory spec, won't have to worry about sniggers waiting in line to pay at the servo...and your zorst is a dead givaway Good to hear you returning the car to original with the satin badge though, how they were delivered originally. Last owner darkenned it? Silly monkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nick987 Posted 18September, 2012 Report Share Posted 18September, 2012 Hey Caver, been for a spelunk of late? Do you dive as well or just stay dry (as possible?) What is your favourite cave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 18September, 2012 Report Share Posted 18September, 2012 NICK NICK NICK, 6 posts to go and you have hit the magic number...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caver Posted 18September, 2012 Report Share Posted 18September, 2012 Amanda, there's heaps of badges on Ebay, "Boxster", "Boxster S", "S" only, any variation of the wheel centre badges, bonnet badges, steering wheel badges. Just type "Porsche Boxster" into the Ebay search, sit back and scroll! It's dangerous and fun! Although, come to think of it...I never saw an umbrella!!??

Caver Posted 18September, 2012 Report Share Posted 18September, 2012 Wow Nick, how did we get there? Just came back from 3 weeks in Switzerland as it happens. Trekking and climbing. Went caving in NZ earlier this year. I'm not a diver (yet!) Saving that until my old age. Favourite cave? Geez, there's heaps of them. Just about anything in Puketiti NZ, Yarrangobilly NSW, Jenolan NSW, Vecors France... Here's some videos if you're interested: www.vimeo.com/davidstuckey/videos Cheers.
