Dragged my sorry sleepy grumpy @$$ out of bed at stupid o'Clock. Car was grumpy also but after 25 mins on the motorway we pulled off and started the climb.

Cold air, dry roads, tight corners, snicking between 2nd & 3rd, a touch of brake and back to 2nd, tyres load and bite, lovely turn in, feed the power back in, grab 3rd and rinse and repeat. The reward was worth the lack of sleep. I imagine I hear the car calling for more, alas it's a better car than I am a driver and we are on public roads so prudence prevailed.

Just one of those mornings when everything flowed and was good in the world.

Spectacular sunrise and amazing light. 210kms clocked up and home before the house even knew I was gone.

The 986 may not be the hero car when compared to others but it does deliver an exceptional driving experience.

It's morning's like this that confirm the Boxster is probably the best bang for you buck sports car out there.
