Default New to me 06 Boxster

This all started with an ad in the 'for sales' 72 - 914 little rust and engine seized. A month later I ended up with this. Originally a North Carolina car imported to Canada. I think I'm the 4 owner, and the 3 before took good care of it and the car passed PPI with only a few comment. Car Fax came back clean and the PPI didn't show any panel work. 80K kms (50k mi) C$25,500 and I bought a bumper to bumper after market on top of that. Brakes are 35% so I'll be doing that early on. For now, on account of a metre of snow on my property the car went from the dealer showroom into the back of a box trailer and into heated storage until the end of April when I get to drive it on the road in my avatar everyday.

Great looking car. You're gonna love a Boxster during Ontario's gorgeous summers. Our Boxster spent some time there, and in Kingston, during a trip a couple years ago. Enjoy!

I'm on Britannia Road W, just south of Huntsville off Brunel Road and leading to South Portage road. Another twister is 12 KMs on #45 off #2 just west of Huntsville, That one leads to #3 and #10 and ultimately 141 though Muskoka. Britannia is #10 and in summer the tree canopy ( big maples) covers the road overhead. The speeds have to be kept slow due to the very tight bends and steep hills and the wildlife is everywhere,, turtles , porcupines and white tail deer are everywhere. Britannia is on the IronMan tour for cycling so it's not unusual to encounter a dozen or so cyclists.

Thanks everybody for the kind words.
