So what you are saying is Porsche for you and either F car or MB for her??
The Queen got a neo-classic Convertible
- Thread starter Patrick
- Start date
There would need to be a serious upgrade in Porsche. Although if her knee doesn't come back we could get an automatic P car
When I replace the convertible top on the Boxster, would it be ok to change it from a plastic window to glass? Same roof, but will the Porsche police exclude me like the reindeer with the red nose?
Reason being is the plastic window doesn't always fold correctly, and it is recommended to get out of the car and crease it with the roof partially retracted.
The glass window is significantly smaller, but who is driving with the top up?
Over thinking it?

Overthink.
In this case, to me it’s a get what you want and what works for you. It’s the start of customizing., like aftermarket pipes on a bike.
Whichever choice gets you the Ferrari quicker.
Remove the top entirely. Less weight and a place to put a jacket or two.

I used to do this on my MG B and kept a hard top around for when it was really cold out. If the Porsche is garage kept, this is the way. Or get a 911 Targa.
Just ordered wheel spacers to "fill the wells"
needed new lug bolts anyway - the old ones had rusted.
I've started a search for the hardtop option - for absolutely no good reason. If i find one in red i'll grab it.
Still shopping for a new soft-top too. Waiting for confirmation on the glass window swap.
Still have a few trinkets to install.

I still have some 17" wheels if you want to further "fill the wells"
So tempting. A nice set of real tires vs the a/s would be nice.
They have some old winter tires on them, but open to reasonable offers...
Sounds like the only good reason for lug bolts vs studs. Ability to get longer ones easily for wheel spacers.
This 918 Lookalike Is Actually A Porsche Boxster
We hope the finished product looks this good.

Sniffing upgrades.
The Queen has noticed the dated elements of the 986, and is now somewhat P-car aware.
At least when we are driving down the road, she wants to know what models we are seeing.
The 911 Cab got her worked-up a bit, but the back seat ? They also don't look as good with the top down as a Boxster.
While I don't like this color red, his logic (ok, rant?) seems so familiar?

Back seats? I mean if you aren’t raising young kids like me why? The cab rear seats are awful. I can’t wait till these inconveniences drive their own cars.

Time to upgrade to a 987! Fantastic drivers cars and much better build, and you can still get them in red 😉. After i sell the RS I may look for one to tool around in
987 boxster S looks good - think i want "the modern" 981 GTS.
now to find one to set the hook?
Need to start the 986 next warm(ish) day - think it has been 3 weeks.
