The wife and I drove the Jägermobile to Morro Bay and Ragged Point today. We saw more Porsches driving Highway 1 today than any other day. I would estimate approximately 30 Porsches on the road, including a small cluster of five (probably one of the local clubs), cruzzin highway 1.
We discovered there was a Kite Festival in Morro Bay today, hundreds of kites flying the skies with many spectators.

That's the easy part! Keeping them all running is almost as much fun as driving them. All of them except the 924SE had over 5000 miles in the last year.

Drove, drove, drove. I had to get in my driving fix after going without for three weeks.

Replaced battery tray in my 99 base and fretted over rust around battery area. Seems previous owner never checked drain holes. Not sure what to do,but I keep her garaged and I don't drive her in rain

Today I changed tires, inspected the brakes and undercarriage, new front rotors and pads (caliper boots looking ratty), charged my gps datalogger, loaded spares and safety gear, all ready for Spring Mountain NV with Patrick Long.
Tires and brakes went quick with no snags. 2 hrs total time.

Got out for the first time this year.
Yeah this year.
Huge grin the entire time, though. Felt great to get Udo out of hibernation.
Anyone in the Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge & Guelph area up for a cruise?

Get it up to 6000 RPM and report back.

Drove to the coast
Floridas 500th anniversary brought a Spanish Galleon to Cape Canaveral. Perfect reason to drop the top and go for a cruise.Clear skies, 70-80 degrees and a day off duty. Unfortunately it is love bug season in Florida.The windshield and mirrors were likewise stuccoed with the remains of the "blind mosquitos". It looks much worse in person and there is an odor distinct to mashed and fried high speed splatter. I left the top down and did not find a single bug on the interior or the spoiler. Even though I have 303 on the canvas I thought it better not to embed this gooey stuff into the leading edge of the convertible.
We enjoyed the ships tour. It is a spectacular historical recreation of the vessels Ponce De Leon would have used 500 years ago. Sorry I have no good photos of this Bristol condition ocean crosser.The ship is scheduled to tour the East coast in the coming months.It was time well spent.
The remains of the amorous insects came off with a lot of water and a little effort. I installed the screens after cleaning the compost heap out of my rads a while back. Happy to report the screens have remained sturdy for several months, through triple digit speeds and the minimal temperature range we experience in Central Florida.

Was going to post a very similar image!!!! I hate those devil bugs. If they don't get washed off QUICKLY they ruin the paint. Of course it made me think of the old ad..."Kill Bugs Fast"

Now the warmer weather is here I am starting to do some basic things from the 101 book. Just changed the engine air filter and was amazed at how dirty it was. Have had my 2001 Boxster base two years and have done 10k miles on it. Have no idea when it was replaced before but it sure needed it....filter was black and could barely see through it.

Dropped mine off for servicing including replacing the dreaded ignition switch. I'm afraid my back (2 herniated discs in the lumbar region) isn't up to the torturous gymnastics required for that DIY replacement. We'll see what it costs me, but I believe it makes just as much sense to pay a technician for physical discomfort (and personal pain savings) as it does for their skill!

pulled both front struts out- was a lot easier than I expected as only two joints had to be popped out (tie rod ends). Everything seems healthy- waiting for new wheel bearings (4) to arrive as well as clutch bolts and ROW M030 kit
