Picked up a new Boxster (981) and an SVT Raptor

JediFragger · 2 Jul 2012 at 08:50

Loving the 981's tbh, I *will* have one at some point :cool:

In fact, I'd probably take it over Redzilla for day-to-day fun motoring

Poor man's 911 and a pointless truck.

Nice GTR though

But it's not a man's. Women shouldn't be allowed 911's, so therefore perfect!

Epic truck is epic

That truck is win because it has the raptor in it's name.

I don't think I would, if I remember correctly this guy wants to be a Doctor and is already a pilot and has/had to work 18-20 hour days.

However the rewards as we can see are right in front of us.

I need to get off my bum and do something.

Out of interest Iceman, what do you do for a living?

[Edit] Ah, pilot and doctor. Explains a bit.

Nice, like the Boxster and all the reports I've had are that it's really rather good and all the performance you'll ever need as it's so easy to access.

I bet you drive something awesome right?

That truck is stupidly awesome.

Well, so are the other cars too, but that goes without saying.

Are you Chuck Norris's dad?

Focus ST that he was selling at last check

That Boxster is really nice. Much improved on the previous ones for looks anyhow.

Cosimo · 2 Jul 2012 at 10:22

The Raptor is awesome.

LiE · 2 Jul 2012 at 10:49

I hate you...

Really love the red and the raptor looks like it wants to eat smaller cars!

Poor mans GT40 TBH

Awesome...just awesome

My MD when looking at trucks was looking at the Raptor but wasn't released when he was looking at them.

Ended up with a Dodge with a 6.3l V8 Hemi...sounds epic! Think I prefer the sound to his Bentley Continental. He also got a gas conversion on it so cheap to run!!

Dave Boxster is stunning! How does it compare to your 997.1 C2S you had?

Interested to know this as well.

Are people who can actually very easily afford a very very decent/brand new 911 now saying the Boxster is as good/better?

People have always said the Boxster is an amazing car, but the 911 has always been just that tiny bit better. The only people who didn't agree tended to not actually be able to afford a 911 and owned the Boxster so there was an obvious reason.

[TW]Fox · 2 Jul 2012 at 12:11

I dont get all the Boxster/911 comparison people do. They are different types of car for a start?

Housey · 2 Jul 2012 at 12:17

The 911 is a 2+2 and the Cayman and Boxster simply aren't. So many 911 owners I know prefer/need the flexibility of being able to stick a couple of kids in the rear seats and this is why they go with the 911. I think people overlook this point as to many owners, it's vital.
