What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Looks like summer is over in NY!

My wife and I have had great times with PCA and made new friends everywhere we go. Congrats on the concours win. Be careful, it can become addicting. Next thing you know, you'll be buying q-tips by the case.

Thanks! I’m already checking with Amazon to see if I can put q-tips on automatic reorder We are impressed with the inclusive nature of the Hudson Valley Region. Everything from 356s to the latest GT3s with a good mix of interests from track hounds to cruisers.

Today I installed some simple metal wind deflectors and a Celeste Fig tree.


I had originally thought of making the deflectors a lot more complicated with multiple bends and folds around the edge and a Brown Turkey Fig. The roots of the Celeste are a lot less invasive and the complex folds to frame the wind deflector didn't improve it much over a simple cut sheet.

Congrats Fred on the Concours!

Nice fig tree! I went with a gingko, myself.

Hopefully not a female ginkgo...the fruit is very acidic and stinky; if installed per pic, could lead to stained carpets. I love the natural look, but in this instance I'd have gone artificial which would provide the added benefit of being able to install either hinges or a telescopic system allowing retraction if the top needed to be up.

Nice inserts though.

You did use the proper German engineered soil didn’t you? Otherwise the roots won’t take and the tree will need to be replaced the next time you do a clutch job...

our summer weather has been weird this season. Either hot and humid or raining. Over 9” of rain in August. Not normal for here at all. Yesterday was cloudy and in the high 50s. At least it didn’t rain during the event.
