She'll be writing up the papers that make anything going wrong the track operator's fault no matter what.......
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......
Mind you she does seem to watch a lot of 'Women who killed' programmes on TV.......
Supposedly as part of her Psychology studies...

Popping in hear

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

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
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........

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
