Boxster Spruce Up

Post by Boyo » Wed Jan 26, 2022 3:10 pm

Took advantage of a rise in temperature today to give the Boxster a thorough clean from top to bottom. Here are a few gratuitous photos

I hadn't realised you had bought a 718 GTS. How are you finding it?

Ha! Love that, I’m only 31 so years away from spending the kids inheritance. I hope you have plenty of fun and I need to book in for a roof motor relocation soon, just finding the time is hard at the moment.

No Problem. Just drop me a PM and we’ll sort it.
If you’re that local, we can probably fit something in one evening once it warms up a bit.

Cheers. Its funny because I was always taught to reverse onto a drive as then exiting it was much safer. Most folk nowadays seem to do it the other way around and I have seen plenty of near misses, particularly on frosty/wet mornings :driving:

Basically it is dangerous to reverse onto a road, particularly if there are hedges and walls to block your view. It also causes great inconvenience to traffic and pedestrians particularly if you want to reverse onto the other side of the road. People drive into driveways because it is easier, they lack ability to reverse in safely, or they don't care.

Lovely Boxster OP, really looks good.
