new boxster owner from Manila

Greetings from the Phils...

new porsche owner here...

I've always been a big mb fanatic ... I had a Carlsson setup A-class... full amg SLK ...full lorinser C-280 ..and a brabus SL... all in silver

that is until I got my boxster in feb...

it literally changed my life... and now I'm wondering why it took me so long to make the switch...

now I'm in love with the "other brand from Stuttgart" and am selling off the other cars make a full change...

c280 and slk gone... just put a reservation on an 04 silver Cayenne v6 (i know..everyone says I should've gotten the S...well truth is I got a sweet deal on this one at 10T miles...) will post pix soon...

next goal is a 993 to just start me off with the 911s

but for now I'm very very happy with my 2000 boxster S...

so far ... only mods are 19's that i changed with the original turbo 18's that were on it... although I ordered the current carrera S 19's to replace these ones

also installed a 7inch jvc screen and did the entire aluminum center console and ac vent area through a local interior shop...

also planning to get those led tails to update the rear ...

here are some bad photos.. will try to post the updated ones when I have some time...

I was going to say that looks like Batangas Bay where the Mindoro ferries are! Never been there in a Boxster, only crammed on busses with vendors selling peanuts, buko pie, etc. ...

Hey Kabayan. Nice S you got there. I miss Punta Fuego. I am also a big fan of the "other" Stuttgart brand but my passion is really porsche. Post some more pics. Cheers

Pre,

Welcome! For sure you will enjoy that vehicle as well as everybody here that owns a Boxster. Your car looks the same as mine. But I did change my wheels now to 19" SSR GT3. Put some lowering spring and your set.

new rims

my apologies for the bad pix... dimly lit parking... but just ecstatic about my new rims... just got em on... 19" carrera S ...to replace my old 19s ones... love the way they look!

also got some 22" kahn designs for my cayenne...

now all I need is the elusive perfect silver 993 and I'll be a happy camper for the next couple years...

Great looking cars. Those wheels on the Cayenne look awesome. Can't wait to see some more pics.
