Hi Guys.
I'm new to the Porsche "family" having just purchased a Boxster 987. I've been looking around the various Porsche forums and on reading this one I have found it sensible and informative, and have come to the conclusion that this one is perhaps the one for grown-ups (if you know that I mean). I'll probally get flamed now for being off topic, sorry.
Back on topic, as a farmer can i just say sorry to David for the mud on the roads of Lincs, Lincolnshire is a county famous for it's vegetable production, the only way from field to shop is by road and unfortunately some of this will be by tractor and trailer. We (most of us) do try our best to not bring mud onto the roads but it is inevitable that some gets by!
You may also fret about being held up by tractors on the road but rest assured that if I spot a gold badge in the middle of a bonnet of anything behind me I'll pull over quickly (if only to see what you're driving :wink: ).
Back to Porsches, My wife and I fancied a soft top as we have never had one before but I'm hoping we'll change it in a year or two for a 997. The best thing about getting old(er) is that you can aford something that you could only dream of as a teenager. As they don't still make a TR6 it has to be a 911.

PS Can I recommend Seal Grey, ours does not to show the dirt to much.
