You guys sure he has a good aim with that camera and it wasn't really the car in front he was actually trying to photograph as his next one? :fuelfire:

[quote=""Chompers""]I think of all the cars you have posted on here over the years, that has to be one of my favourites. I know everybody knocks it with the usual "couldn't afford the full fat 911 & so on" but IMO the Boxter can't by beaten as an overall package. I'm sure Mrs 535 will be very happy in it, if she gets a chance that is :poke:[/quote]

Many reports on this one are saying it is better than 991 and dealer says people are buying top spec boxsters instead of 991s

She may have to share until mine turns up in September!

It certainly sounds good And looks good from the clip and it takes a bit of work to pay for one.

What colour are you going for?

sorry can I ask are you getting the boxster with the normal roof or the one with the small bikini roof that James may tested on top gear?

The one on P2 of this thread is the Spyder that he tested.

I'm planing on getting the soon to be launched Mk3 boxster
