			Did a thorough scrubbing of the roof canvas with 303 cleaner, plus a wash to get all of the nasty off. Much better. 
 
Roof protectant will be applied in a few days once the roof is dry (staying in the garage until then).

			Swapped front motor mount center element out as the last mechanical task before leaving on a 3K mile road trip day after tomorrow.  Going from Arkansas to central Montana for a wedding, then a couple of days in Yellowstone before moseying home via western Colorado via the Million Dollar highway through Durango and Pagosa Springs.

			Pulled my bimmer out of storage today so I decided to give both of the German beauty queens a wash and polish  . The Box even a bit older, just has such a timeless look to it. If and when I decide to add another Porsche to the garage, I honestly don't think I could ever let the 986 go. THUMBS UP for Turtle Wax Black Box too!

			Im so stoked.  I picked mine up this evening after having the  top replaced with an autotrophs direct  top with the glass window and defroster.  I promptly put 50 glorious highway miles on it in beautiful 75 degree weather.
 
Added surprise? My horn now randomly works again.

I agree.  I hate to think of it now in the height of my driving season, but during the winter months i live vicariously through the posts in this thread.

			I changed the convertible  top for a newer one with a glass window.
 
Also removed some of the dirt accumulated on the engine (thinking of trying to clean it even more tomorrow) and cleaned the air filter.
 
The new  top is awesome, looks so clean compared to the old one:
