Take your pick!

Post by Peter C »

Which would you rather have:

1. My Rev3 G-Limited.
2. My neighbour's 2005 Boxster S on 18s (parked on the road).
3. My neighbour's two doors down 2006 Boxster on 911 19s (parked on the drive).

My neighbour bought the Boxster S six months ago and paid £28k for it.

That would buy 28 decent NA MR2s or a fleet of 10 Turbos!

Those 18s dwarf my 15s!

Doesn't that Boxster look big!

I'm three doors down from it and it's a quiet country pub so no issues with pi$$ed blokes swaying their way home.

Silver Boxster looks good to me :wink:

I'm impressed your MR2's so red, I've not seen an early one retain it's colour so well, usually IMOC background pink at that age.

There's no colour fade whatsoever and the paintwork gleams after a wash:

Aside from an upgraded CD player and speakers, it's 100% as Toyota intended, down to the automatic gearbox! :thumleft:

In fact the MR2 looks a lot more sporty and sleek...

Looks like Keira Knightley between two Maggy Thatcher clones! :D

Also, the Boxster really is a bit like the MX5. You just can't drive one as a bloke... #-o
