Less than 24 hours! - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Most of you have been where I am. Just one sleep from owning your first Porsche! This time tomorrow I should be driving around in a Boxster S, 2003, in Basalt black with Savannah leather. It's a great looking combination and runs on split rims with red calipers. With a long equipment list I should have plenty of toys to play with but the main thing I'm looking forward to is hearing it's sound and feeling the power. The weather in Yorkshire (UK) is set to rain most of the day and so it looks like the roof will have to remain up but no worries, I hope to have plenty of chance in the future!

If anyone's interested I'll post some pictures later and let you know the verdict on early Porsche ownership from someone new to 986forum.com

Nice!!! I remember my first Boxster. I kept pinching myself as I drove it home. Congrats and don't forget to drill out the exhaust!

Great looking Boxster. It's even got the sport seats. Not sure I would get it though...the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

Should be OK Thumper, our roads are on the wrong side too!

Man, yeah that was a great day driving my car off the lot. I remember it well. On the 2 hr drive home I was just beaming from ear to ear with my gf in the passenger seat. That is a nice looking 03 S you picked out. The sport seats and the aluminum trim pac interior is very nice. Enjoy!

Congrats! I'm picking up my first Boxster Saturday, a Black '06 base. The work-week is going slow!
