Nice pics of some beautiful areas.

You didn't, by any chance, happen to spot Auric Goldfinger being tooled around in his Rolls-Royce Phantom III while you were in the Alps, did you?

Drove her to the local Cineplex with the missus, in the wet, to see "Rush".

The movie lived up to all its hype; a most excellent film! The lead actors were terrific as Hunt and Lauda.

Replaced the front wheel bearing on the passenger side, it was making a little noise (had 253k miles on it). I will probably do the other side next week.

No but we did see on 2 separate days around half a dozen new 991 thrashing around. We thought they may have been press but one group was Polish registered.

Replaced the ignition switch and the headlamp switch. I was able to do all of the ignition switch (except hooking back up the ac duct) without crawling under the dash by working through the dash vent that you remove to do the headlight switch. Yeah

I got the idea from this thread:

http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/46411-ignition-switch-replacement-holy-crap.html

Thanks kjc2050!

Maverick Region Cars and Cattle! We did a Poker run and then had a great BBQ lunch. It drizzled a bit during the run and we had to share the road with a bike race of some sort but everyone had a great time and my wife came in second with her poker hand! She won some wheel and windshield cleaner!

Thanks. The sun was getting low in the sky so it looks dark.

Picked up my car from the dealer, after a year long battle with idle issues. Turns out there was carbon build up on the idle control valve, and no one though to check it (because no dealer on the West Coast had ever encountered this problem before). I also enjoyed the tiny issue of the instrument cluster telling me my car had 999,999km or 599,999 miles on it when the instrument cluster acted up. Solved by a battery disconnect.

Fun day, so happy to have my Boxster back, although I am now dealing with a bad case of PermaGrin!
