Today I gave the GT rep its first wash and its first decent drive in over a year.

Heartbreaking to say it… this car will be up for sale soon.

Off to Jaz this week for a service, tune up, and comprehensive going over, and then I’ll be considering how and where to sell.

I shouldn’t have washed it of course: too much time getting intimate and hands on with its chunky charm, only served to make me doubt what I’m doing.
But needs must!

The car is genuinely super quick, every part is trick, and I’m hoping I’ll find a buyer fast and before I change my mind.

Sad to hear that James, lovely car and I know how much you have enjoyed it. Post some details up here in DDK, I’m sure it’s a good place to start!

That was an excellent write up on how to go racing in a 356, thank you for posting the link, well worth the read.

Does Steve still have the car?

Had the morning to myself today, so washed the Boxster and took it out to dry the brakes off, to the local Farm shop, 2 20Kg bags of seed and peanuts into the boot and the frunck and stopped off at a nice hamlet/village on the way back for some late spring pictures.
It was sunny but the phone took dark pictures, not sure why.

Still, nice to have the roof down, most unusual.

I am sure you are a closet Vicar as most of your pictures are outside churches?
