Congrats on a great little package there Mr & Mrs XWGT.
You can't go wrong with top of the line Euro cars... something i'll be doing after some time initially in an Aussie car more than likely. |

Looking forward to playing with it some more. I must admit the sound of the 3.2 Boxster on full noise is sensational, and thats coming from a life time V8 owner! The other item that has me in love is the transmission, and the way it changes back down the gears for you in auto when your driving it hard to launch it out of corners. A little peice of genious that!

Yep, am fair dinkum, have a few inches left over, you just have to actually put the seat FORWARD and lay it back further. Sounds reversed but actually gets you more room.
Yes there is an engine under there, somewhere lol. I dont plan on working on it myself, but naturally you can monitor criticals (oil level/coolant level) from the rear boot filler points and dip stick and also it is electornically monitored via the dash. Opening the engine compartment requires a) a warm day yo have the roof down and b) and engineering degree lol
