Getting out for one more end of season drive

We managed to get another above average temperature weekend which gave a few of us one more change to take ours cars out for a drive. It was pretty windy with overcast skies, but we managed to hit a high of 62 F at one point.

Stopped here on the north shore of Lake Erie.



Co-pilots dressed for November



Naked trees.

Humm, what did the co-pilots have in the cups- seem way too happy Particularly like the reflections on CURVEN8RS hood shot Guenter. Thanks for posting.

The cup contents weren't to exotic. We had stopped at one of the famous Canuck watering holes - a Tim's for hot refills. The empty branch reflection did show up quite well on the hood. Almost 6 months before those poor naked branches get dressed again.

better keep the CURVN8R gassed up ready to go.

Nice Guenter. We had a nice 69F day here in NJ, and I got the chance to also take the Box out for a top down drive. Forgot how nice it was to drive these cars.

I agree with you 100%, Rich. After 6 years, the Boxster is just as much fun to drive as it was on day one. Permagrin is such a great affliction.

so I took the 914-6.

Sorry you weren't able to get out in the Boxster. Did you at least take the roof off the 914-6?

At least the battery is pretty quick and easy to replace, as you might have read a couple of weeks ago.

I just had the alternator replaced in the Boxster before I put it in storage and I guess the battery (which is fairly new) wasn't charged up enough. This is the third battery I've put in the Boxster since 2003. I'll charge it this weekend, wash and wax both and put them to sleep for the winter.

I do think I have a exhaust leak in the -6 though. I could smell exhaust when I turned on the heat and had a pretty good headache when I was done (and yes I cracked a window and shut down the heat). This will be a winter project. I'll have to drop the headers and pull the heat exchangers off and inspect everything.

I'm glad you had a great time on your last run of the season!
