So in a strange turn of events, I've got my old Porsche back! I really did miss this car, so when the opportunity came to buy it back, I took it.
Previous owner has done a lot (and I mean a lot!) of work:
. front shocks
. rear tyres
. floor mats
. boot latch mechanism
. hood cables
. full service
. new intake system
. brake pipes all round
. both radiators + piping behind the bumper
Plan is to keep it until another Porsche Boxster or Cayman comes along that is newer as I'd quite like something with cruise control, sat nav and in general something I can take to France.
My grandad was on D-Day landings, so would like to do a road trip with my Dad in the spring, so something a little newer would be great. A nice little historical trip to learn where my Grandad was in WW2, and some quality time with my Dad.
I really did forget just how much I missed this car. Manual, flat 6, Porsche, burbles on the over run, cheap to buy - ticks a lot of boxes for me.
This weekend, I'll be giving it a seriously good detail. I'd like to get the wheels off and inner arches taken out, spend an entire day on it. Actually quite looking forward to it..
I've still got my Audi and will most likely be keeping it until Spring, but I have quite the hankering for something really silly; Caterham, Lotus
