Speaking of the weather getting in I used to have a Morris 8 Tourer in the UK in 1965.

Perhaps if you have not known adversity then water dripping on you is a start.
The Boxster has its own set of problems. Latest is windshield washer fluid ends up on the ground when filling. Cam deviation sensor code light(sensor is on order).Water pump is on order even though the old one is still working.

Sometimes I think that I should just get something new. Not a Porsche. Not willing to put out that kind of money.

There is a lot to be said about the UK that is good. Great people(of course like here some better than others). Great pubs. Food overall at restaurants has improved.Weather is awful. Great scenery when it is not raining.

Thanks for listening. You are a great audience. My wife not so much when the Boxster has issues...Cheers, Guy
PS . San Renchko you have redeemed yourself with your second post....

I have to admit I am a bit jealous of those pictures. I won't lie. I was going to move up North where Danch is but I have had a rethink

Very nice indeed, we can dream of a summer, even if it lasted 6 weeks...
