Porsche Boxster S3.2

Those of you who have seen any of my rambling missives before will know that, in the past I have been the proud owner of a couple of 911’s (a 964 and a 993) and a 968. However, after an eight-month wait, I have just taken delivery of a brand new Boxter S and I thought that I would share my first impressions while they are still fresh in my mind.
