She'll be writing up the papers that make anything going wrong the track operator's fault no matter what....... :poke:

Just make sure she hasn't started evening classes for track marshalling yet, and reloaded the fire extinguisher with something else!

A couple of my neighbours already think my wife tried to cut my throat, rather than the surgery truth...... :D :stir:

Mind you she does seem to watch a lot of 'Women who killed' programmes on TV....... :cry: Supposedly as part of her Psychology studies... :scratchhead:

Fine idea, you'll be doing the Britcar 24h before long :driving: Popping in hear http://www.masduclos.fr/ next week to see if there is any news as to wheather it will remain open. It's a fab little circuit in a very pretty setting. The Lotus guys have been there as par of their French Frolic a few years back IIRC

I'll skip britcar and go and chase Lewis instead!

That looks like a great circuit, not seen that before.

:rofl: :rofl:

Yep its a fab circuit. The owner is a little bonkers but has a fab private Ferrari collection. Mercedes have used this circuit a few times to launch some AMG models. There are some very good in car footage on youtube some in Loti ;)

The local Commune are trying to close it down because of noise :thumbsdown: so will be interesting t see what if anything is happening to it.

I'd never driven a mid-engined porker before so they lent me this to have a go in

Really enjoyed it and the noise........

Very nice - gotta laugh at the interior door handles...

Forgot to ask, what colour did you go for?

This one is a special edition hence the door handles!

Not yet confirmed yet as mrs needs to see but I like gt silver which is an exclusive colour on the boxster. You see some GT3s in it.

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:
