Returned from weekend porsche trip with wife! This weekend was to the beach, and finally saw 2 more boxster prowling the streets, and a nice Ferrari. Dont see many sports cars around my area, except my neighbours nephew play proffessional football ie soccer.

Late to the game this year...started and drove for the first time since last fall. Removed car cover and tender, pushed outside garage...started as if it was driven 10 minutes ago...not a poof of smoke and no perceptible flat spots on tires. For whatever reason, this was the best "wake from slumber" experience I can remember...I'm guessing the car can sense when hibernation is over and knows it's time to frolic in the summer weather. :)

First autocross today. What a blast. Up here in Virginia near VIR and saw two guys in the parking lot, one with a Spyder and the other with a brand new Alfa. When they asked what I was driving, I sheepishly pointed to the boxster. Both rushed over to see it and kept saying this is how Porsche should have kept the design and that after all these years it's still one of the best looking models Porsche ever designed. Not too shabby...

..........

I passed emissions with my new-to-me ‘01 Boxster S today. I also got a pretty sweet sunburn, as it’s my first drop top and I didn’t think about it.

My next upgrade will be a tube of sunscreen in the door pocket.

I can relate.
When you have hair like I do, (none) you always have a ball cap or two and sunscreen in the car at all times.

Washed, polished and took her for a drive.

Oil and Filter change, new Engine Air Filter and replaced the sagging drivers side Sunvisor :)

Uh oh Jan!

That Z top looks sharp! Was it hard to install? Do you have to remove it to put the car in “service mode” when working on the engine or can you simply leave latch open?

Drove to the Farewell show out at Glen Helen. Only P car in the lot.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1527514983.jpg

Installation is pretty easy if you leave the convertible top in. I decided to take it out, wish I hadn't. If you leave the convertible top in you would have to remove the top to get to the engine though.

So tempting... I have an OEM hardtop on mine already but love the look of yours more. Sucks to buy the kit AND paint the new trunk as well. :-/

nice drive with the top down
 

Took the Boxster and the Jaguar out for a day drive with the tops down in the mountains. Beautiful drive, hike, lunch, dinner. fun time with my family.

Over the weekend, but I've been working slow. :p

Saturday: wash and claybar
Sunday: two-step polish
Monday: waxing
Today: buffing and reinstallation of all the lights, then applying canvas protectant

(Actually installed over weekend) Relocated my horn button. Great solution after installing MOMO steering wheel. Drilled a hole in the dash plug left of Radio.

Button is small good size for dash https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015X34IP6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Coolant tank.
 

I just did the coolant tank. That was fun.............

Porsche Letters
 

I just added the Porsche Letters three days ago. I wanted to keep the letters the same color as the Boxster S emblem. Some on the forum have added both in chrome.
