Had a go at the 986 last weekend, 100miles ride or something like that, clean car and wheels, roof down and all. Ahhhh x1000

Driving the roadster once a month minimum. I use it to go to the local circuit for my monthly practice (track day, stress management therapies). And not shy to say that I occasionally take off for no reason e.g nice evening, not cold or hot, roof down, making trouble and noise in the city's tunnels lolllll All alone.. that's the funny part

But that happens much less often than before :/ Wish the weather pattern here would be working a tad better. Sux so far this year

living in Florida the weather is a non issue but the flatness is what kills the fun in the flat six! at least 2-3 times a week i take it out for a spin at night when traffic dies down and go to my usual artificial turns around the Miami airport where i know cops wont hear a little tire screeching if it happens then make some noise in the empty garage at work. any overpass or ramp is welcome so i find myself going the extra mile quite a bit for a few seconds of pleasure.

the complete lack of twisties would be a strong reason to move from Florida. i just dont get to the track often enough.

oh.. and every Sunday morning before the South Beach drunkies wake up and start weaving on the road i hit the one tunnel that leads to the port for my weekly permagrin readjustment. police has it closed during the night..

i am suffering from extreme withdrawal after living in Madrid for 5 years surrounded by mountains and hidden paradises with nothing but fixed speed traps all clearly marked on the GPS. police is doing relevant things with their time..

damn it life! giving me a 4 door sedan in paradise and a roadster in the swamp! would have killed to have the Boxster back in Europe!!
