After many years of procrastinating I finally just walked into my local OPC and bought a Boxster 718 GTS 4.0. Ever since Tom Cruise said those immortal words in Risky Business, I was on the hook.
Wanted to look at new and configuring, but told there's no guarantee of Porsche filling customer orders now the books are almost closed on this model. As luck would have it, they had a 10 month old Carmine Red GTS with PDK and only 2,200 miles. Took me all of 5 mins of the road test to decide....![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Overall pretty chuffed and looking forward to many dry and sunny days ahead. Having taken a beating from the midlands up to York last weekend it behaved perfectly but is now filthy![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Few photos attached....
Spec wise it's about perfect I'd say although would be looking to get the smoker pack cover for the silly hole in the centre console. Otherwise, can't fault it. A real analogue experience with nice clicky buttons. Suppose the only real gripe is the weak Xenon headlights, but suspect there's a set of bulbs to fix that.
Glad to finally be part of the club![Thumbs up (y) (y)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
