Isn't this true of nearly all Porsches? That's why I will not buy another
Porsche, new or used. They can be real money pits- not as bad as, let's say,
Ferrari, but bad enough. The Boxster IS a nice car, but overpriced I think,
just as service charges and parts from Porsche dealers. By the way, my
introduction to Porsche was riding in a 356 my friend owned- we were both
working at a Porsche/Alfa Romeo dealer in Brittany.
Long live LBCs, especially AH/MG/Lotus and.... wait for it.... Triumphs!
OK. Flame away 8-)
PS: Hey, WST- Good show at Grattan! Wish I could drive like you!
