Hi everyone
I finally have a real reason to belong to the club. A late 52 reg Boxster S. Had it just over a week and it's all that I would have expected. And so much more. Can't resist posting a pic here "" I think it looks superb. And after all, I'm playing to a sympathetic audience"¦
I'm planning to use the car as much as possible during the winter. Avoiding only the worst of the wet and snowy stuff.
As there will inevitably be periods of several days when the car isn't used, I'm wondering if it might be worth investing in one of those trickle battery chargers - the sort that plug into the cars cigar lighter?
A useless gadget or a worthwhile spend?
Am I right in thinking that there is a Porsche approved device? I think I've seen one on the net somewhere but it was around £30. Is there a suitable alternative at possibly half the price?
I'm wondering also how long I can expect the original battery to last. Its 4 years old and the car has done 28k miles. If I need a replacement, can I just pop into Quik Fit? Or are there issues associated with radio codes and security system etc?
