Just back from a road trip to South of France, the Millie Miglia, Merano in the Dolomites, a touch of Austria, into Germany, back through NE France to the bloody awful UK!

2650 miles in the Boxster, love French Roads, love the purpose of the Boxster, and you can guess the mpg.

This lot cost 9 Euro in our fav spot on Lake Garda.

Made the most of the weather and managed a 203 mile road trip with a pal who had never been in a “old” 911 before - he totally got the addiction of driving these great cars - I would say he had a smile on his face for every single mile we covered!

Have been having some door rattles over bumps in the targa forever, had put it down to 40 year old targa syndrome. Then it got too much, and after some investigation, found the 2 big philips screws holding the the door catch mech (just above and below the mech on the door) were loose. Nipped them up and its like a new car! Well, maybe not...but soo much better. Check yours.
