Hi Everyone,

Ordered my 718 boxster last week (Porsche Code: PJYENC29, won't let me post link...). Really looking forward to being able to drive it before the rainy season(s) hit.


My last sports car was an 2001 S2000. The 718 is a nice upgrade over that .

Congrats and welcome!

Lovely color. I'll keep a lookout for you in the future.

Welcome to the forums and congratulations. What's the ETA on it?

Lava orange is definitely a beautiful color though.

My car actually locked the same day I ordered (they had an order about to lock and switched it to my car). U007 Exit port San Diego of 09/01/2017. I was told they are usually ahead of schedule and that I could get my car in August... Keeping my fingers crossed.
@Pythonposse Where in the Portland area are you? I'm in the west hills (cedar mill) area.

 

[Goldtrom]

ETA is 09/01. But was told it might come earlier.
@Pythonposse What side of town are you on. I'm on the west side (cedar mill) area. Maybe we can get lunch together .

 

[Pythonposse]

Camas. Lunch sometime would be good. I don't mind driving places as I still need to put about 1000 more miles on the car to finish engine break-in.

 

[Lurker]

That time should fly by but the anxiety may be the kicker haha. Interested to hear your opinion on how it fairs against the S2000 as they're both driver oriented vehicles that you'll have to play with!

Welcome!

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks guys!

Anyone in the area up for lunch next week? Maybe Monday or Tuesday? How about you @Pythonposse?


We can meet @ Skyline Restaurant - Historic Family Diner in Portland, Oregon. It's just around the corner from me and is near some nice mountain roads.

 

[Pythonposse]

Tuesday would be good. I need to be in the area sometime next week. Just give me a time. I'll send you a message on Monday to verify. Thanks.

 

[Goldtrom]

@Pythonposse How does noon tomorrow sound? I'll be the one with the rennsport reunion hat on.

 

[Pythonposse]

See you at noon!

Would be great to see some 718's outside that restaurant, as per most meets ups you see happen in communities like this, even if its just two 718's

 

[Pythonposse]

Sorry, it was just mine. I don't think I have enough posts to upload pictures. I'll try one.

 

[Pythonposse]

surprised me!

Congrats and welcome to 718forum

I'll try and setup another meet-up once I get my boxster at the end of August. I almost never have time to do the official PCA stuff, so random lunch meet-ups is the best I can do.

@Pythonposse nice garage pick, but where is the Macan ?

Here's a quick photo. If you're ever in the area stop by and I'll let you take them for a spin.
