FIG,
Beautiful car ! I've always wondered, when the steering wheel is on the right side of the car, is the shift pattern the same as cars with the steering wheel on the left ( for example, in a six speed, do the gears go 1, 3, 5 from left to right ) ?
Nick

That is truly an awesome vehicle! Enjoy it! Black was my definitely my next choice & will be a strong contender for the next Pcar I purchase.
NickCats - I have only seen the overhead of a 350Z in RHD but yes, it's the same layout (1,3,5), so they shift higher as they move the lever toward them, rather than away like we do. It looks absolutely freaky - so glad I don't have to drive an RHD vehicle!

I raced a right drive vehicle with a buddy a couple of times. I actually liked it, once I got used to it. I'm right handed so my "good" hand never left the steering wheel.
:dance:

I will never understand how right handed people shift gears with their left hand.
I can barely open a can of Pepsi with my left hand!

If you switched to Coke, you'd do fine 
FIG, you're driving my dream boxster... color combo and features list and everything. I'd just need that steering wheel on the other side.
Quick question: did you also get litronics (bi-xenon headlamps)?

You must have never been a musician! I played several woodwinds and then guitar, so using both hands is second nature. I actually do some manual dexterities, such a TIG welding better left handed. I believe I may concentrate more because its not the norm for me.

Those photos look like Porsche website production photos. Did you actually take those photos of your car ? If so, very well done !

by the way, what's it costing to fill up an Aussie tank in U.S. dollars these days?
