Hello 986forum!
As the topic says, I'm new to the world of the 986!
Recently bought a 2001 Arctic Silver Boxster S. I got it from one of my best buds who has owned and loved it but realized that having 2 sports cars was a bit too indulgent. So, he offered it to me to keep it 'within the family! The missus was supportive so I immediately snatched the opportunity (before she changes her mind)!
I call her 'Brenda', a play on her license plate. (My wife would have called her mid-life crisis! Ha!) All I wanted was a nice 2-door sports car as I turned 3_ and would have been happy with a MX5, a Toyota86 or a Subaru BRZ. Getting a Porsche was more than I could have hoped for!
The car was in good shape save for some minor niggles that you could expect from a 12 year-old car. I was perfectly happy to get Brenda back in good shape and keep her in OEM look.
All this happened before I discovered 986forum. Now I'm obsessed with updating the interior, finding the right bumper cover, looking for the coolest replacement wheels, and whether to go with a hard top, a soft top with plastic or glass window!
Thanks to this forum, I'm sure it would be an enjoyable journey!
Btw, I work in Singapore but keep Brenda in the Philippines. My tryst with her is limited to a few days every month...until I return to Manila for good!
Cheers!
