Boxster converts - 2 and counting
 

My Boxster seems to be acting as a recruiting agent for Boxsters amongst my friends :)

Friend No 1 who's approaching his 50th and had been planning on getting a Harley as his reward, took one look at my Boxster, and a short drive as passenger to become a huge fan. He's now looking for a Boxster that is identical to mine. Cheaper and more fun than a Harley, and the wife can come along in relative comfort!

Friend No 2. Visited these friends on Saturday, both a bit older but total speed freaks. He's currently got a Suzuki 1200 bike which he's now going to sell, partially because his wife has trouble hanging on ;) He's the only passenger I've had in who wanted me to go faster round the bends :eek:
They'd never considered a Porsche before but are now looking for a Boxster. He says it's the closest thing to a bike, which isn't a bike that he's ever been in. Total converts!

Has anyone else experienced the Boxster effect with their friends?

I have a friend looking at an 02 S today!

That's great, another person sees the light! ;)

Interestingly, both my friends think that my 2.7 base is more than fast enough. :D

Not with friends but as someone who owns a Harley (and drove it as my only transportation for about a year) I second the notion that it's the closest thing to a motorcycle out of any car I've driven. I test drove a Boxster S last June and will be buying one in the spring or summer.
