Hi Guys,
Due to the fact that there was 10" of snow when I got to Dresden, we didn't make it to Mohr's facility in the Czech republic, and Mohr's own Silver demo car was at his base nr. Stuttgart. They are still moving equipment into the workshops - the new paint plant and driers were being installed at the time.He did give me a promo disc featuring his 550 - the car was loaned to Becker Radio to promote their new Radio / Sat Nav. system.
As a consolation, I DID get to drive their new T6 Roadster rep. I drove it last year, but it wasn't completed and the drive had to be cut short as they hadn't yet fitted the wipers and it was persisting down!! [ few pix of that ].
I think I have you guys in particular to blame - John and Axel both sent me pictures of their cars when I was very vulnerable!! IE cash on the hip ready to buy a s/h Boxster!
Having already built one car [ Chamonix ], I'm looking forward to this project as I consider the dynamics of the design to be vastly superior to my old car - rear wishbones, cast alloy hub uprights, coil over shocks, etc.,etc. GRP looks excellent too, and I can't fault their steel fabrication. If only the lottery would come up that alloy body would be on my shopping list.
Regretably this has to be an "as and when" project and will undoubtedly be a 12 month [min] deal as I'll be building it abroad.
Any suggestions for style / colours? [ NOT Silver ]. Photos will be available as I get under way.
Xmas come early
