Here's hoping for many happy (and relatively inexpensive) miles in your new Boxster. Any pics yet?

Ok, time for some retractions as it turns out that there WILL be work to do on her! It looks like she hasn't been driven over 60kmh in a long time as, even though she passed her PPI, she has since developed a knock in either the steering or the suspension (control arms, shocks?) after being driven for an hour or two at highway speed (only heard at low speed) plus she is leaving a little oil on the garage floor now. I think a seal/gasket of some sort (RMS, spark plug etc?) has opened up after the revs went over 3000rpm for the first time in years.

Still drives beautifully and engine pulls and sounds like new so hopefully nothing too serious. Dealer purchased vehicle so not really my problem - just a little annoying as it will have to go back to be rectified.
