  1. Not for long my mate, as it's due to come home with us in the next few weeks. Long story behind it, I'll do a thread.
  2. I keep a wee paintbrush in the glovebox for dusting this exact crevice, but then I might have the autism.
  3. Also nice truck. The guy you bought this off is v. local to me - have had a few dealings with him, including him looking very bemused when I turned up to collect an entire P38 driver's door in my 944. It fit - just. Also I dunno where people get these mad ideas about cylinder wall thickness in the 4.6 cos it's literally a stroked 4.0 - bore is identical. What I was told many years ago is that the standard fuelling map runs slightly lean at 70ish mph which led to hotspots and thus overheating. But my GEMS (early) one has done 155k and doesn't miss a beat. Also it looks like the wreck of the Titanic underneath and gets a surface corrosion advisory every year but isn't actually rotten, they never are.
  4. Outright yellow lenses often look like a morning piss - the solution is to fit the yellow caps, for a nice soft mellow yellow bloom inside the clear lenses. I had the caps fitted to my old 944, but didn't really matter as you obviously can't see the lights when they're off!
  5. Doesn't the Boxster have jump points in the cabin, so you can at least give it enough juice to actuate the electric boot/bonnet latches? My 944 has a positive jump point in the engine bay, which is very useful as the battery is buried in the boot, similarly underneath an electric tailgate latch..
  6. They don't rust, in my experience. Not sure I would pay 2k for a diesel one tho, and a base model DT at that.
  7. @MiniMinorMk3 Are these your personal snaps or from an archive? The colours are phenomenal and i want to pore over all of them for hours.
  8. Hey! I like this. Two randoms please, for the inevitable roffle next week.
  9. Those wheels make it look like something out of the original Gran Turismo.
