Hi everyone,
well we have just picked up our 02, Boxster S, picked it up at 12.00 midday its now 7.00pm I keep thinking of reassons to go out, get milk, dog food, bread, anything !!!!! Dead chuffed to have found this sight, now I can drive you all mad with questions, we live in sunny Southend so would be pleased to hear from boxster owners in our area, or any porsche owners, we are not proud !!!!! I have posted a question about spare key, (but in the wrong place i think) so just to repeat myself the car came with just one key, and after reading the horror stories (and the fact that Caroline wants her own key)
were do i go, what do i need, and how much is it going to cost.

Jim & Caroline

Try a search on " Spare key"
I'm sure I have seen posts on this before "Strasse £200" ?

Welcome, we're over the water on the Isle of Grain.

If you go to an OPC (Porsche Centre) they will be able to sort out a key for you.

Hi to you all,
thanks for the tips, I think I need to get a good hand book, all I got with it was the basics, like a pamphlet called Direct entry - the quick reference. I think I have a lot to learn !!!! We have been out for a ride today. Can't remmeber the last time I just got in a car just to go for a ride.... Caroline says I just have this silly grin on my face...
Got to get over the constant urge to keep pressing the thing on the right, god what a feelling....

Jim & Caroline

Hi and welcome. It'll take an awful long time to lose the cheesy grin.

Any pictures?

Enjoy the ride.
