AK350Z Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I don't know if any of you lot are going this year, but some of the big unviels have already happened, and while the top end is as mad as ever, I'm mostly still taken with this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveparkin Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Looks more like a 911 with every new edition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I really need to drive one of those. Monkey Harris is getting a drive later on today, so hopefully by the end of play today or maybe tomorrow we should have an idea of what it drives like. Lambo Aventador J is bonkers but now my most desired item ever, and the Bentley SUV is just too ugly for words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK350Z Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Boxster is "only" £45k with all the decent options too I think, good value considering the 911 is now chasing the £100k market Available in three shades of brown too, it's definitely the new white!

sasha@lazytrips Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I think I might be alone in not being a Boxster fan. I generally don't find that porsches do anything for me anyhow and am not a fan of a lot of features like those side air inlets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckaroo Banzai Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I'm going to the show on the last weekend 17-18 March. I always take loads of pics and will post up after.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Love the new Ferrari F12 (unsure about the back mind you), much better than the 599 in looks. BUT... stealer of the show.. the Lambo J... good god. Stunning, mad, without being tacky piece of nonesense. And its for sale! ...I'm gonna buy it.... i am... Oh yeah... why do Mansory decide to wreck every car they touch? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 looking better with each re invention +1 ..... not to sure on these wheels alloys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choptop Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Not going this year (for a change). Nice car but not a great lover of porkers myself. Everyone to their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I think the wheels are not bad actually, look great on the new 911. But as just said im not a fan of them either, meh. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The config link was posted up a few weeks ago and once you add half of the decent stuff it's easy to breach £60k....... I love it though and I've hated everyother Boxster before it.

350 Russ Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 The new ferrari is the highlight of that show for me Million miles better than the 599 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was playing with it and was referring to the standard car, not the S. I did kind of a drivers spec 2.7 with PASM, sport chrono, LSD, and a couple of other "necessary" option like parking sensors, stereo etc, and it did come to £45K. I would argue the standard car has enough power for most real world situations, and a tweaked S would make the 911 look rather overpriced.

Ekona Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 But you bought a Gallardo, when you should've had the Murci I know exactly what you mean though, I'm the same. I'm starting to look at things differently now though, my next car certainly won't be as quick as what I've got now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK350Z Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Chris Harris first drive report: http://www.pistonheads.com/roadtests/doc.asp?c=47&i=25350 While the electric steering comes in for criticism again, I wonder if its still better than a 350Z?
