Welcome, neighbor! I'm in MA as well with my '03 2.7L and a few (BMW) MINIS. Love to see the other cars.

Wow! Nice stable! Love them all, but really love the TR6 - what color is that? Cool Defenders and 320. I'm sure you'll be happy with the 993.

Also, it appears you have the Natural Brown interior on the 986 - my favorite. You don't see too many of those. Mine is the more typical Savanna Beige.

Nice! I like the later 986 Boxsters, aluminum accents and especially the coco mats. I have them in all the P cars.

The TR color is Magenta, not popular here but you see a surprising number on them in Europe, mostly on GT6's it seems. It is a bit of a lurid color, but hey it was the 70's. That is a 46K mile one owner before me car that we've had for ~25 years. The color didn't do much for me, but the car was so original, I overlooked it.

I’m a Cocomat guy. They’re pricey, but not only look great, but hide dirt and are high quality. I went overboard on the Box and got both frunk and trunk mats….lol. Got checkered mats in my older Mini as it’s a great color match and mostly a BMW anyway. Probably gonna get them for my wife’s new MINI.





Great (virtually) meeting you, and hope to see you at warmer weather events (I usually go to most if NER PCA C&C’s, and the Porsche and German Days at Larz Anderson).
