For those of us who cannot afford a Picasso, da Vinci, Cezanne or a Rembrandt, I suppose it is a poor man's Porsche; however, it remains the best piece of automotive art I have ever seen - and had the absolute delight to drive. I've had her for only 3 months but in that time I've spent hours washing then watching her quietly whilst having a smoke in my driveway. The shape of the curves, the transition from blue to black as twilight settles ... The 986 Boxster is indeed a classic work of art.

I appreciate this is OT but for the past few days I have been travelling to and from the hospice to see my wife, and the 15 minute trot is all single, country carriageway maxed out at 60 mph (by law, not me). But. It has a range of gentle sweeping curves, sharp s-bends and 5k shift up points that simply inspire confident, decisive manual box driving. At the moment, some of the best times in my worst days. What a car!
