Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Nope, Oregon doesn’t use salt on the roads...they have piloted using a liquid spray (magnesium Chloride) on some of the snow passes, but other than that, nothing. Also, there is no MOT...which is great on face value, but you do see some questionable things driving around.

Fitted the hardtop on the Boxster
Gives it a very different look and very snug - going to take it for a spin

Yes, looks good esp in the colour.
My Boxster being white...does not seem right to me.

My son continued his own Porsche project today with more metal work on his engine table:

I’m sure welding that near magnesium is just fine

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Yesterday we went to Brooklands meet. What a great event and locaton. I wish i could have made the 914 birthday meet there. We had a really nice day there but i broke my mirror and the ruddy wipers stopped working on the way home.
Looking forward to our next trip out

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Moved the car into the middle ready for screens being fitted

Excellent job by National Windscreens

Amazing what a difference the windscreens make - looks like a proper car again.
The eagle-eyed amongst you will have notice that having gained windscreens I lost my wheels.
They have been removed to potentially swap for a set of refurbed ones from Biagio - going to see him Saturday morning....
