I'm very jealous of all of you warm climate members as you get to enjoy this car for most if not the whole year. I'm anxiously waiting to get mine out of storage but as it seems that will not be until April here in the frozen tundra of MN....

I feel your pain. Living another 500 miles north of you makes it even longer to wait.

My colleagues and I just watched your vid and literally blasted by this track. Some of its apex' cambers and elevations looks totally insane. Can only imagine... jealous man :/

Wow, very different look and feel on a bike

It is a fun track
Here is the track map

Get your ass out here, we would have a blast at the track. Don't worry about not having a Porsche here, you can drive one of mine

Wooahhh. Just saw that Jay :)

Too kind brother. I would never use someone else's "Porsche" car to spin onto a circuit I'm not familiar with but certainly happy to take a ride with you as a passenger - given you don't throw that thing like you did in some of the corners as-per your video (I'd cry for my mum man). Somehow feel much safer onto a bike where I can quickly let go things and comfortably slide off in the run-out in the even of....! Very familiar with the wide open arms & legs sliding technique lolllll Low-sided min 10 times and sadly destroyed 3 bikes (high sides) during my last 20 years. Can I borrow your CBR instead?! :D

Helen (wife) and I have a wed & newly born celeb to go too in summer of 2016 (CA). Date tbc. I'll drop by your home town for a weekend man. If not only to have a beer or two with you and I certainly want (need) to go visit that track :) Would be 2x cool if the track would be open for sessions at the time, fingers crossed man

Definitely let me know when you are coming out here. I am sure there would be others that would want to grab a beer as well.

Not as many track events in the summer as some of the tracks are in the desert and , well it just get too friggin hot.

Our PCA club does have some driving events in the summer, AX and back road tours

Had it towed to an indy repair for healing. Hopefully this repair won't break the bank.

:cheers: :cheers:

Changed the battery a few days ago, oil, and witnessed my indy stabbing my front tire to fix a slow leak (he found the 2cm miniature screw on the inner lip). Murder stuff...

Need to get the car annual inspection done before 1st Feb so I went and refueled it up today. Central heating system seems defect, or it doesn't heat up like before that's for sure :mad:

Not much lately. Did take the opportunity with today's 43F sunshine to give the Box a quick bath. Driving it around here, even on dry winter days, results in a light salt dusting from the residue on the roads......shudder.

This weekend, driving to down to NJ to check out and likely buy a used set of clear halogens. Oh, how the non-model year appropriate ambers bother me so!

New shoes
 
I finally put some new shoes on it. I put out a post to see which ones Boxster owners liked and it was close to 50/50 so I picked thesehttp://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1453941541.jpg

Today I drove the Box about 500 miles round trip to meet a fellow forum member and buy his clear used halogens. Hallelujah! No more amber!!!

Spent the afternoon pulling off engine covers so I could vacuum out the RATS NEST!!:mad:
About 2 months ago cleaned up nest in the X3 engine bay. (Managed to catch a rat in a trap).
2 weeks ago a friend payed the dealership $1000 to remove the rat (dead) and mess from a 2015 Cayman S.
It seems we have Son/spouse/brother... of dead rat - I found pile of leaves and wire insulation on garage floor last week so figured time to have a look in engine bay! I fixed a 3/4" plastic tube to vac out mess.
Car seems to run fine.

It chipped in transport but I got asked to prom tonight.

(She asked me because she goes to a state funded boarding school for the arts :) )
