than source all that with many trips to home depot.
he also recommends the smaller unit. my is way too
big. I bought it a decade ago b4 he was in business and didn’t know any better
I've been wanting to do smth like this too. 05 is old now. We could also compare shipping costs with vs renting Boxsters there. This could also easily be a late fall or early spring (even winter) trip -- same great weather with lower tourist traffic and hotel prices.
What's the Porsche shop on Barcelona? (PM is fine too). I've been spending some time in Barcelona lately, probably much more going forward.

like finding religion. I think.

yes renting is an option but really for me this is an excuse to buy a place in Spain and leave a car there.... it’s part of the plan when i pack it in. Open a small cafe. Drink coffee and Cana. Wife does her thing. Watch people go by. Drive old Porsche’s. Eat a lot of iberico.
And yea, 05 is old now. Antique status for sure.

Speaking of old stuff, does anyone here run pre-war, the first one, cars? I have been considering this and the only things I can think of that can be enjoyed at something approaching legal speeds on the road are pre-war.
My uncle has a Wolsey viper V8 (a hispano-suiza copy) sitting in the back of the hanger. Thinking about getting into that scene, but I don’t know anyone into it and I am a bit of a hack so I don’t want to offend.
