2000 Miles in Porsches brand new bombshell

[daro911]

Todays Autocar 19/10/04 has first road test of the 987"S" [8D] you won't be disappointed and as article says "First Among Sequels"

Can't upload jpegs here because there are 4[&o] so email if you want them

Thanks for the reminder - I'll buy an issue on the way home[]

I thought the picture of the old v new boxster parked nose to nose was quite interesting. The new car looks a lot bigger than the extra cm's suggest

And, Peter Robinson's initial ananylis confirms what you and I both thought. The 987 will drive better on the 18" wheels, rather than the extra cost 19"s. The BMW (E46) M3 was exactly the same.

I agree [8D] guess it must be the extra mm's show up more in the all new panels, curves and shutlines etc which I like a lot and definitely looks more car for the money than any of it's competitors SLK, Z4,Elise, TVR etc

Anyone got a scanned copy of the nose to nose they could email me please?

Haven't had a chance to get a copy yet.

Mark how come YOU! can't post more than one jpeg per posting? I thought you guys with the titles could do these sort of tricks unlike the rest of us []

 

[Mark_Bennett]

Nope - I have no magic powers.
I can edit, lock, and in extreme cases delete posts and threads (but I prefer not to).

...and I had to upload the small resolution versions as the others were over the size limit[&o]

I think the only people with the rights to do the really trick things are Jeff, Peter, and......Sophia (Still showing as Administrator on my system!)

Good but boring article, it confirms what I had hoped, that Porsche has moved forward with the Boxster and it is still THE roadster to have.
Lets hope EVO's article in the December issue is a little less fact and more feel, CAR can usually be relied on to give some well written reviews too.
