    Yesterday was the Then and Now car show.. 100 invited cars and motorcycles.. half were older and half were newer.

    I got to drive the Jowett Jupiter again. My favorite for the day was the Austin Healey 100M

    Today I got to replace a shift boot on a friends 1999 Porsche Boxster, and then take it out for an hour drive.

    Very fun car.. easy to drive around slowly and surprisingly quick to rev to the top of the powerband.
    It isnt neck-snapping fast but it does sneak up on you when you get on the throttle. At 2100 or so RPMs in top gear on the highway it is just loafing around. The suspension is very compliant.. the shifter and clutch feel are very good and the brakes are phenomenal in terms of feel and stopping power.
