51 and bought my slightly used '03-S 4 years ago. Had Triumph sports cars my entire driving life life until 2 years ago. Wanted a better handling, faster car that was invented after cup holders and heated seats ;-). Love driving the Porsche.

Waited too long

I am 67 now and when I got my first Porsche - a 2001 Base Boxster. Shouldn't have waited so long. It is a fine car. Although I've never been without a sports car. Had a trouble free first generation RX-7. After that car I decided I wanted a sports car that went VROOM instead of WHIRL. Then I had two Jaguar XKEs. Talk about maintenance and problems. Compared to them the Boxster is a breeze.

I remember reading an article “Who’s Who” in “Modern Spies Magazine" that your DOB is March 25th 1965.

I'm 46, but do my best to act half that age if at all possible. Ask my wife, she knows...

46?..I think?

Hi All, this is my first Post I think I'm 46... just had B-Day in April...so still too soo to sink in yet. Been reading this forum since December ( when I found the Boxter I wanted ) didn't get it till mid April... Great Forum.. I read something everyday... trying to get my car back as close to new as possible so I'll have more than a few questions, hope thats ok.
No Porsche Dealer up here... but there is one Great privately owned shop, that Knows Porsches inside & out "TJ'S" so I'm lucky i that respect. So Hello from Wayyyyy up North in Newfoundland Canada.

Re:.. Targa...

If you mean watching... then yes.....but if you mean racing...lol...No..... I think the Targa is not for me... not yet anyways...lol... this is my First Boxster... and although I know the roads and the actual Targa Circuit up here very well... I'm pretty sure it would end up badly for the car... ( someone put and Enso F-Car ) in the drink last year up here... and lot's of bottomed out cars every year... all love it though. I've had a few RX'7s ( 81 & 84 Targa ) over the years...and one year I was tempted to look into it... but chickened out...lol... In a perfect world.. I will get my current 986 to where I want it.... then i will buy another P-Car... maybe a 911, and give it a go...lol... Mine Boxster is in getting a full detail job done on it right now.... then it's off to the mechanic to get the suspension looked at, and a newly developed Idling issue looked into : (
