Apogee Posted 27August, 2016 Report Share Posted 27August, 2016 Thanks to everyone who recommended shops that could do PPIs in Brisbane. Billy of T&D was very thorough (provided pics and report), made arrangements to fit me in at short notice but could only do a partial PPI due to their schedule. They only charged me 1.5 hrs of labour. I would recommend their service wholeheartedly. We picked up our new 2010 MY11 Boxster Spyder from the seller on Friday and drove her back to Sydney. The car has been initialed by Walter Rohl (senior test driver for Porsche) on the white trim of the deleted cupholders. Her 1st owner took her to Targa Tasmania and met Walter there. He signed the log books too. So happy with my purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 1September, 2016 Report Share Posted 1September, 2016 Very nice - how does the roof work ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apogee Posted 1September, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 1September, 2016 Very nice - how does the roof work ?Thank you.This video demonstrates how it is put up. Not the most convenient of operations but I don't intend to drive it in the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 1September, 2016 Report Share Posted 1September, 2016 Wow, did they subcontract that roof design to a British or Italian company?!still, it looks cool up and down so what it lacks in practicality it makes up for in style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo Posted 1September, 2016 Report Share Posted 1September, 2016 Porsche Boxster Spyder - Soft top operation, I think that is closer to Major Surgery, Cool car, Dry days only me thinks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apogee Posted 1September, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 1September, 2016 Haha - yeah it is certainly looks Rube Goldbergian in operation but we drove the car down from Brissie in the pouring rain (not a drizzle but cats and dogs heavy rain between Byron Bay and Port Macquarie) and not one drop entered the car. The water wiped by the windscreen wipers moves like a transparent caterpillar from the top of the A pillar to the B pillar, down thtrough the door sill and down to the ground. So it is totally waterproof despite it's looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 2September, 2016 Report Share Posted 2September, 2016 Nice! Walter was quite busy with the pen on that trip to Tassy. I should've rented out the markers I carried to a couple of functions! A great souvenir from Walter - a true legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apogee Posted 2September, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 2September, 2016 It was a nice bonus because the seller didn't mention that in the ad. He also included a Italian tailor made car cover for it and some magazines featuring reviews of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

911sies Posted 16September, 2016 Report Share Posted 16September, 2016 Superb. I'd be giving a knowing nod to Walter's signature every time I put my foot down (leading to a very sore neck) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM Posted 16September, 2016 Report Share Posted 16September, 2016 Saw a guy at Sandown in one identical to this. Parked in pit lane and it started to rain so he quickly started to wrestle the roof up. Looked like fabric origami. Why make it so difficult? Needless to say the interior was quite wet by the time he got it covered. Im sure it's a great drive, just check the weather before you head out.
