Some time ago, probably 30 years, I was on a BMW factory tour, at the end of the assembly the cars would "roll off", a driver would get into it and drive it to a lot. Well, one car IIRC it was a 320, driver gets into car starts engine, loud BANG, car gets pushed off to the side ..... OOPSby dak911 - Main Forum
Maybe not the worst, but easily the most scary, Turbos, in the early 80''s Since there were there were a lot of Euro (Grey market) model cars coming into the US because the $ to DM rate was so good 930's were being "privately imported" . A friend asked me to help pick up some cars from JFK (came air freight) and drive to their "conversion shop" in NJ... I picked a 79 Turbo thinking that to be theby dak911 - Main Forum
Anyone have an indoor cover they are willing to sell?by dak911 - Parts for Sale
Anyone in the south FL area have someone that they use for detailing. I'm talking a really good detail person, not the usual wash and shine. My 07 is going to be turned into a 13 or 14. Not that the car is in "need" of detailing it just that a good detail (something that I used to be able to do) would make it really stand out.by dak911 - Main Forum
I may be "trading up" my recently acquired 07 may be changing into a 2013 or 14.(if you know me, you probably figured this would happen) One of my concerns is, do all the later models have SIRUS capability?by dak911 - Main Forum
STOP LIGHT, Kinda hard to see if it is working or not.....need a mirror, or gotta get the wife to step on the brake, but she's busy packing for a cruise.....gotta wait.by dak911 - Main Forum

Quoteboxtaboy Yep, my Boxster has the 3 button one (frunk, trunk, doors). It lasts forever ***********! Wife's ML 350 key battery has to be changed every 6 months it seems with the keyless entry and start/stop button. Pain! Still, 13 years seems very extraordinary for the Porsche key.************** The batteries in our ' 14 GLK350 keys lasted a year, service manager has a drawer full of them, hby dak911 - Main Forum

On the changeover to water cooled, PORSCHE lost one very distinctive thing that they have not been able to duplicate.....the AIR COOLED SOUND.. Just about everything else is an improvement.....oh, and the spare tire....by dak911 - Main Forum

Somewhere there are some suggestions for removing the decals on the sun visors....I did it on my 2000 but cannot remember what I used. IIRC it wrinkled the plastic of the visor, it took a day or so tand it came back to normal, it looked perfect afterwards "To add insult to injury" they are in FRENCH as the car is a Canadian one....(not that there is anything wrong with that, as the saying goes)by dak911 - Main Forum
I have a like new, owners manual in FRENCH that came with my 07 Boxster email me dak911 (at) gmail.comby dak911 - Main Forum
I just found a spray can of RAGG TOP PROTECTANT, that I had from my previous Boxsters. Does PORSCHE make the stuff they sell....probably repackaged RAGG TOP? I'm going to give that a try after I clean the top.by dak911 - Main Forum

I notice that there is a wear mark, breaks in the fabric, of the top, drivers side (on the side, where it seems to make a sharp fold) On the passenger side at the same spot there is a much smaller mark in the same spot, just a mark, no broken fabric....??by dak911 - Main Forum
