Default Moving Over From Boxster Board

A quick round trip to NY and now I'm driving an 04 TT Cab with Tip. I think this is the right one, I guess time will tell. Now I have to start cleaning out the Boxster parts from the garage and start thinking about upgrades, after a suitable honeymoon period.
So far, it's everything I hoped for and better than what I expected. I dealt with Roslyn Porsche and I think they treated me right.

Here is a photo from the dealer. Sorry I didn't put it up right away. Breaking the rules right away.

CDOC makes a roll bar for it. That will make it work won't it? Can't help the tip, most of the left foot got left inside a primary cover of a super glide way back in 74.

Congrats. Looks like a nice car!

Don't let these guys razz you about the TIP. I'll smoke most of them around the track in my TIP (except Tom and maybe a few others)

Thanks Chris, it was from your neighborhood and traded for a 997 TT. It looks and drives like it was taken care of. When we picked it up and headed home we got in the wrong lane and ended up in the canyons, Park Ave., 5th Ave., finally Greenwich Village. Felt like Martinsville. All them damn yellow cabs looked like they wanted to rub me. Temp. tags, shiny turbo, must have looked like a gimme.
