Congratulations......a very decent motor car that, ( & as said by chompers a great spec) :)

Initial rarity is appealing too.

Very, very nice.

Love the colour and interior. Good to see the Boxster has finally become what it should have been.

Enjoy :thumbsup:

Really great looking Boxster you, sorry, your wife has there.

Love the colour combo, and those wheels look the dogs.

Ideal second car me thinks, jealous, jealous, jealous:grin:

I must say I prefer the look of the Boxster, especially the dash... subtle difference but I think it looks nicer than the 911. :D
