#boxster — Public Fediverse posts

We passed 85,000 miles in the Boxster today - wearing its age pretty well, all things considered.

The car has travelled to 19 countries during its 16 years, though only 2 on my watch, but hopefully we'll be able to improve that statistic in the years ahead.

#porsche #boxster

It's Boxster roof prep day tomorrow, so I spent a few minutes during lunchtime to mask off the windows and near bits of bodywork.

I'm hoping that having left it in the garage for a few days, the roof has dried sufficiently after the wash.

#boxster #porsche

I drove 256 miles in the Boxster today to collect the remainder of ski-trip luggage from Wicklow, and help Mum & Dad with their Australian tourist visa applications.

That trip, a mixture of motorway and B-roads really cemented it for me: that little blue thing is the best car I've ever owned (possibly ever driven?) If you have the chance, I heartily recommend obtaining one..

It's now also utterly filthy, but wearing the road-muck very well.

#porsche #boxster

The Boxster calipers are looking much better now in these photos from Matthew at Rex Detail.

Still a few more weeks to wait before we get the ppf back onto it, and it's back on the driveway.

All done! Both old bits of elastic were definitely past their best. Fingers crossed that's it for a few years now.

#porsche #boxster

Rite of passage: doing the "roof elastic job" on the Boxster.

#porsche #boxster

And so it's done. Boxster hibernating, Subaru with winter tires.

I hit 80,000 miles on the clock today. Each trip out in this little car still feels really special, long may it continue!

Heading to an #PCA #HPDE tomorrow. Maybe my swan song if the car doesn't behave.

#Porsche #Boxster

Got the car back from its 1 month post-ppf install maintenance wash. Still looking quite good 😃 Matthew and the gang at Rex Detail in Annacloy did an excellent job.

#boxster #rexdetail #WeirdCarMastodon

V happy with the Boxster paint, ppf and interior work. Rex Detail of Annacloy, Co Down, Northern Ireland have literally taken years off the car.

#porsche #boxster #rexdetail

If MusQ stays in charge, #Tesla’s cooked, he’s flushing it like #Twitter.

Next-best values in fast #EVs:

1. #EX30 top trim
2. Electric #Boxster, probably
3. #BMW i4 M50

My rough specs / price table (not complete or entirely accurate):

Luggage compartment liner, OEM part, https://www.design911.co.uk/p/porsche-997-luggage-compartment-liner--front-99704400004/ £100 (and £20 shipping!) vs. 2x https://www.surdoca.com/products/explore-waterproof-storage £20 for the pair, and they fit perfectly. Win win!

#boxster

Counting the Ferraris and Range Rovers here in Crawfordsburn. They are many, and way way too wide for the streets here. We arrived in a car that actually fits the road. #Boxster

On the road again (actually been out of hibernation for a few weeks).

Just finished replacement of cabin and engine air filters in my Boxster and Subaru.

Took 15 minutes for the Subaru and an hour for the Boxster. Good thing this doesn't have to happen too often.

Well not optimal (it's still a little cold for summer tires) but my car is out of the garage and back on the road.

#Porsche 718 #Boxster #EV prototype spotted testing
Vehicle appears to be equipped with an electric powertrain with a test mule body that still features an exhaust pipe. It’s going to be interesting to see what direction @[email protected] goes with an electric 718.

Hi all! An #introduction is in order. I’ll post mostly about mobile/wearable tech, cars, watches, and music, specifically K-pop and Japanese idols.
I’m a tech journalist at Digital Trends. I own a 981 #Porsche #Boxster S, a 986 Porsche Boxster 2.7, and a #jaguar XJ8 4.2 (X350). I like #Nogizaka46, #Sakurazaka46, Le Sserafim, IVE, and IZ*ONE, among others. I’m partial to a G-Shock, #Seiko, #Oris, and #TagHeuer.
Looking forward to life here!
#乃木坂46 #櫻坂46 #izone #lesserafim #GShock #wizone

So this #introduction thing seems to be a thing -- been here a couple of weeks and was unaware.

Anyway:
I am a #Canadian retired software developer (50 years on the job) having worked over the years on #PDP10 #PDP11, 8088s, Cemcorp Icons, CP/M, #Asymetrix #Toolbook, #Zope,#Python and probably others that don't immediately come to mind. A father with 2 adult children with their own children. I am a Formula 1 fan, #Porsche #Boxster owner and active high performance driver education participant.

And for #WeirdCarMastodon / #weirdcartwitter, some... wide #Porsche #Boxster s from a while back. Sorry Stef, promise I've got something much easier on the eyes in another corner of the SD card...
