Wow! The only improvement I can suggest for this terrific design, is to "stance" it.by Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum

I figured that you'd recognize the place right away, Gary.by Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum
Good guess, Jerry. Yes. It's Little Switzerland. It's been four years since we've been there. It's such a beautiful location, right off the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Diamondback is right there too.by Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum

I'm sure that there are a few people here who know where that is. If nobody ID's it, I'll spill the beans later.by Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum

It's been a busy few weeks. Finally have a chance to catch up on some things. At the end of May, we decided to take a few days to drive to one of our favourite places, now that border restrictions have eased. I'm sure that some of you will recognize it. We managed to run into a bit of fog at one point. A better view once things cleared up. And one of the places were we stayed. Should be fby Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum
After delivery, Mike dropped by with his new Boxster 25 and we went for a drive with the Symphony in Flat Six playing through the PSE. It's a beauty and rare.by Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum
OK. as promised, here are the results after getting new tires and sensors installed. This information is probably of most use to Canadian members. The first thing I checked out was Tire Rack, using the link at the top of this website and checked out pricing for Pirelli and Michelin Tires. Then I checked out a number of tire shops and the Porsche dealership. I also tried to check pricing for TPMby Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum
Hey Mike, Looks like the sleepless nights are coming close to the end. Looking forward to seeing and hearing it in person on our drives in the near future.by Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum
Ah, such a long time ago But alas, I shall have to renounce the fours and hail the six. Thanks for sharing the timeless tale, Pedro.by Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum
Thanks Pedro. That information helps.by Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum
One tire shop I spoke to about installing tires and sensors said that the HUF sensors are older models and could be a few (3 - 5?) years old which would reduce the service life. Do you recall how long ago some of these sensors you used where produced? Also, they told me that these sensors need to be programmed to the car with a tool. Newer ones are just programmed through the car's Multi-functiby Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum
Busy with a few things, but have now done some investigating and will give a breakdown of costs when done.by Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum
That's actually the same site I was looking at. They have 2 different sets listed for the Boxster. They look a bit different, but both have the same description (except for some MY differences. Would either one work? UPC# - 9492995 for 2006 - 2016 Boxster UPC# - 9507217 for 2008 - 2015 Boxsterby Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum
Thanks to everyone's input. Much appreciated. As usual, lots of good information from our members.by Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum
Thanks Pedro. I've been doing a bit of research and it appears as if Porsche might HUF sensors. I recall asking a few years ago and Porsche prices were something like $150 EACH. Online there are sensors by HUF and Titan for about $160 per SET. Any experience with either of these brands?by Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum
What sore of battery life are people seeing with TPMS? It used to be about 6 - 7 years. My 981 S turns 9 years old in June. I need to replace my tires and wondering if I should get new TPMS sensors installed at the same time. First time I fired up the Boxster (yesterday), everything looked ship shape. It sounded and felt like I'd just turned it off the day before. All reading looked normal.by Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum
Quotefrogster and i wonder about the visceral experience. i know that electric is the future. the smell of gasoline, the ruckus of an ICE tuned for performance, and the mastery of clutch and stick are a big part of my life. it feels so strange to know they are on their way out. The visceral experience of an EV racecar Like listening to someone getting a root canal done at the dentist.by Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum

Another milestone. 300,000 miles. And, the tradition continues with the family. Great looking event. Hoping that I can make it one of these years. .....and as a northerner with freezing rain coming down outside right now, I envy that 79 F Thanks for sharing.by Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum

Quotefrogster i like how the "previous owner" only put 55 km on it. With 55 km, the "previous / aka current" owner is the dealer. Frogster, you're in a perfect position to check it out for us.by Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum
While I don't doubt the numbers since everything had to be verified for Guinness World Records, it would be interesting to see all the numbers. I've read a few versions about this record but didn't see the $76 amount for total charging mentioned anywhere. Gerdes has set a number of long distance records for fuel economy. So he has experience in how to drive with maximum efficiency, and as stateby Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum
Sounds like a great event. Just not in the cards for me currently. Keep us informed on your schedule. If things improve, I might be able to make The Glenn.by Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum
When it comes to current Porsches, I think the Boxster GTS 4.0 is the sweet spot. I agree with your description of farty sound of the flat 4. I guess the PDK helped to mask the slight hesitation while the turbo spools up. The instant response of a NA engine makes it special in a sports car. From what you've said, it seems you're already sold on the PDK. If you don't get a thrill out of a perfectby Guenter in Ontario - Main Forum
