    Almost always, the reason I get in the Boxer isn't to go somewhere, and most trips end where they started.

    It's getting there. If you have a heart condition, at least you will go out with a huge smile on your face!

    Took mine to a local show last night with a friend leading the way in his absolutely perfect black on black 512TR. Got a nice reception but best of all I was in the lead in the dark on the way home. My friend told me he saw plenty of flames out the tail pipes! Awesome lol.

    more no speed limits would be better, or even a minimum speed on some good and well built streets :)
    for example "nuerburgring nordschleife", also called green hell :) :) :) some parts with 80 km/h you are too fast, some parts with 330 km/h you could even go faster

    for every speed fanatic once visiting germany it is an absolutely must to visit this race track, open mostly every day for the public.

    I remember following my father home from a local Ferrari meeting. It was a spirited drive and I was just about managing to keep up. I think the only thing that kept me there was to watch out for more flames spitting out the back!

    Went up to LRP yesterday, at 9 am there was too much traffic, used the Tq of the BBi and 3rd gear to dispatch various evttes and porche on those short straight bits.

    Comming home at 113 am there was no traffic and the car and I got in a great groove. Still a no speed limit enviroment and some clued in drivers would go a long way, because ona long weekend there are more idiots out than usual. A few miled from ho, at a stop sign and old woman changed her mind half way through the intesection and reversed back into me ignoring the trumpet horn. the danage is slight, a small ding, no paint, but has to be fixed properly which is time and aggravation.

    Still cars are very rewarding things to have if you are into them, and on the right road on the right day a boxer does thingsand engaes in a way other dont. Plus th ride is compliant, the motor sublime and its pretty confortable, at least compared to a lotus..
