I had a very strange thing happen to me today... My wife and I took a drive to a countryside park, about 30 minutes from the house, just to get-out and enjoy the day. As we pulled into the park this guy comes running over to the Jägermobile and tells us to park in the parking lot on the left. I thought to myself this is very strange, maybe he's a Park Ranger in civilian clothing or something?? So I park the car in the left parking lot as directed and as we were stepping-out of the Jägermobile there were approximately 30 Porsches pulling into the same parking lot behind us! It was the Santa Barbara chapter of the PCA on a Poker Run. I had no idea of that event was going-on today. Needless to say I had to talk to a few Porsche owners, all of them saying to join the club.

Changed my oil. I saved a ton of money by getting Mobil 1 for $22 for 5 quarts.

Noticed a flyer in the local Pep Boys describing a car show in town today. After a short detail job, I swung by the show with my Boxster and entered her in the import class.



Over 90 entrants; there sure was a lot of fine Dee-Troit iron there today, and a healthy field of imports too.



In the end, though, the Boxster took home 1st in class.



Awesome, baby! Yeah!

Today was the annual 'All Porsche Show' for Nord Stern, the local PCA chapter, and it is held less than 10 miles from my house. The focus this year was all years of the 356, but there were Porsches of all years and models, including a couple tractors.

Nice TO!

Congratulations

Changed front control arms ( get rid of the noise on left hand turns), drained and changed coolant of the cooling system and took off the front bumper to clean the radiators. Mine were'nt as bad as I've seen posted here but there were rocks, leaves and a dead bird in the radiators!

Hey! Is that your Boxster in that last pic? That's my car on the right side of that photo. Cheers!

We drove our 2000 black base Boxster from Cleveland to Washington Pa (150 miles) for a weekend at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum. It was terrific. It was a hot ride back with the top down and temps in the 90's but the car ran well. The new hoses and water pump and low temp thermostat I installed this Spring must be working.

Yes, that is mine. Too bad we didn't get to meet and talk Boxsters.
There was a pretty good turn out given the rain in the morning, but the Carrera GT I have seen in past years wasn't there. Hope you enjoyed the day.

Took the Porsche up to see a castle overlooking the village. The place was empty so I snapped a few pics.

Over the weekend:

LED license plate lights (will make a DIY on this with specific products, because it came out perfect, and I've done a lot of "setups" over the years.)

New motor mount - huge difference

03+ tail light conversion - looks so much newer

Top Speed pro 1 catback - had to add some washers to keep it from rubbing the heat shield , but I love it. Could be louder in some conditions, but my neighbors would be pissed. At certain RPMs it's very loud.

Oil change - Mobile 1 10w-40. It's already 100+ degrees out every day here.

GoPro - bought for capturing hill country cruises.

Today:

Figure out why my top won't go back up.

Install new drop in filter and remove snorkel

On the way:

Center cap replacements

Porsche flag for the garage to add to the collection.

That is some sweet-lookin' ride, mump.

Wish I could be there; there are no castles in Texas, and the land is basically flat.....................for hundreds of miles.

Only Just finishing off the stone chipped hood ...
I hate polishing cars :ah:

Still , it looks a lot better now .
You see the state of the bumper ?
Them scratches extended about a foot up the hood plus it was shot gunned with stone chips .

Finally got it to a state where the new front badge could be fitted

I attempted to install Jay Senoff's wind deflector on my '05 S on Saturday. After 20 minutes of trying to drill a hole in my roll bar I gave up. Took it to the shop this morning and they are doing it at a charge of about 1.5 hours. Also getting a 120k major service done while it's there.

On the plus side, I took the car over to the Malibu hills and ran through the canyons there. First time really putting the car through its paces. Love the sound of that engine revving up past 5k rpms. My girlfriend says it sounds like a racecar! I have to agree.

I'll post pics of the installed wind deflector when I get the car back.

Here are pics of the windscreen installed. Not bad.
