Hello, New To The Forum...Second PORSCHE

Good day all! This is my second Boxster. Just picked it up on Ebay from Waco TX. 14K miles...6spd. 'S'. Gorgeous unmolested survivor!

Here are a few pics, as well as my 'other' hotrod!! The Bimmer's an '08 with a scant 6700 miles...

Looking forward to meeting everyone.


BTW- anyone know of a good German tech / mechanic shop in Jersey or Philly?? Thanks, ahead of time!

Here's a shot of my last Boxster that we sold in 2008 when we moved up to Canada. I had just installed the Cayman 'S' wheels....arrgghh!!

Thanks Steve...

It's a 2001 and has a grey top and interior, which I haven't seen much??? I like the two-tone grey interior, as all of my last 10 or so cars have seemed to have all black interiors.

I have had over 100 cars and trucks....this is the one that I sold in May and made the room for this Boxster. I ordered it in Jan. 2007, had the dash and the window sticker signed by Mr. Shelby and it had a whopping 4600 on the odo. when I sold it 49 months later!

That, my friend, is one schweet looking car!! That color is priceless!!

Do you mind if I ask what spoiler you have decided on? I am removing the rear bumper 'nubs', and the headrest/rollbar mesh's today to have painted Arctic Silver. I did that to my last silver car too!

Thank you. I don't see others this color often. I am installing an Aero II style spoiler. It installs right in the factory provided trunk holes.

My Schnell shifter and cable end showed today!!

I guess I know what I`ll be doing in the morning.

I only hope the weather up here in the N.E. is good to test drive afterwards?

This afternoon I dropped off my rear bumper over-riders at the body shop to have painted Arctic Silver to match the car. I will post a pic after it's done to let anyone that is contemplating doing it, see what it looks like!

Here is the (before) pic:

Don't know where in Jersey you are, but Provost Motorsports in Bordentown is a supporter of Schattenbaum PCA. Did tech inspection a few weeks ago prior to DE. Further north near Eatontown is Bodymotion.
They both have websites so you can google them. These are the only ones I'm familiar with.
