Nice.
Think you made the right choice, when you were looking at boxsters did you go and look at the cheaper ones and the more expensive. What feeling did you get?
PS You want a nice Mr2 mk3 with the lotus engine ;)

I concur. The MX5 is going to be way more fun than a dull-as-hell Boxster.

I had a look at a couple of Boxsters in the £3-5.5k bracket. In many cases variations in price did not reflect condition. Poor histories. Worn interiors. Nexen tyres a plenty...
The only car I looked at that felt 'right' was an early 2.5 (black with red interior) but it had sold by the time I got to Portiacraft to view it. Also missed out on a nice and very well priced privately advertised 3.2S. I think there are some good cars out there in the sub £5k bracket but decent examples don't hang around for long.
Talking of MR2s, I really like the idea of something like this:

Mercedes W124 is a much better car than a W123. The pre-facelift W114/5 looks and feels much more special than both (I have owned all three).
I like the design purity of the 986 2.5. Objectively the later 2.7 and S are better cars though.
I was shopping for Boxsters a few weeks back. Ended up with...
Individual throttle bodies, Megasquirt, LSD, semi-slick tyres, Lotus Elise seats etc.
Is fun.
