    My New Car (Life After The Calibra)

    Well last week the Calibra was sold and I took ownership of my new car. I wanted something more powerful and RWD and I had an offer I couldn't refuse on the following...

    Porsche Boxster S (3.2 Flat 6).


    Shes in cracking condition, with a hefty set of options.
    Litronic Lights (bi-xenons)
    3 spoke steering wheel
    18" GT3 Sport Design alloys.
    Sports seats
    Factory Lowered.
    Factory Bose Sound System.
    Spyder Kit Rear Spoiler

    Loving it so far











    The idea with this one is to get her in as perfect condition as possible. No massive project for this one Maybe a few upgrades here and there

    Nice, I had a Boxter S 3.2 for a while, really nice.

    Insurance must be a killer.



    Your one is nicer though

    I paid around 2k under market value. Got a bargain AOS has been replaced, as well as all the lower coffin arms. Could do with the control arms doing but that can wait for a while

    I never usually care for Boxters, they look so boring, but that has a bit more to it and I quite like it
