Ma ħadniex ħafna biex ninżlu fl-imħabba mal-roadsterIt fil-livell tad-dħul ta 'Porsche ħadet biss lejla sħuna tas-sajf, medda mhux miksura ta' British B-road u xi żmien ta 'kwalità waħdi għalija biex ninżel fl-imħabba mal-Kaxxa ta' Porsche l-ġdida. Diġà saq il-karozza fin-Nofsinhar ta' Franza, iżda dan kien mudell mgħammar bil-PDK bir-rota tal-istering fuq in-naħa l-ħażina u fotografu fiha; Id ġabar biżżejjed biex ikun jaf li kien tajjeb ħafna tabilħaqq, iżda ma kienx ħadem triqtu taħt il-ġilda tiegħi. Xahar jew aktar tard u Porsche kellhom il-karozza fir-Renju Unit, b'xift manwali tal-istikka u sedil tal-passiġġieri vojt ħdejha. Kien biss l-istandard 2. Mudell ta '7 litri (test tat-triq tal-wed il-pokier S) iżda l-paintjob blu brillanti tiegħu kien jaqbel mal-overhead tas-sema u ma kienx imħabbat ma' chicanery żejda wisq fakultattiva. Pure tkun kelma waħda għaliha, u dan huwa eżattament dak li ħassejt bħal fuq ir-rotta tiegħi ta 'sagħtejn lejn il-kosta tan-nofsinhar. Aħna qattajna eluf ta 'kliem minn dakinhar jiddisseminaw il-kawżi ewlenin ta' din il-konvinzjoni vaga, iżda nfakkar dakinhar, niftakar biss il-gushing, żrar yowl tas-sitt borma, il-perfezzjoni ta '263bhp kompletament sfruttat u l-sinewy, kwalità xintillanti tal-manipulazzjoni. Oh, u l-espressjoni fuq wiċċi: tbissima li qed tevolvi bil-mod li spiċċat, fis-6700rpm, bħala gass miftuħ u gleeful. L-istandard minimu għal kwalunkwe karozza li kapaċi tpoġġi r-riħ fil-wig tas-sewwieqa tagħha huwa l-invigorazzjoni, iżda f'dak in-naħa l-oħra wara nofsinhar il-Boxster, f'pajjiż mibni l-aktar mill-ġammijiet tat-traffiku u l-limiti tal-veloċità, fakkarni għaliex dan, dritt hawn, huwa l-aħjar xogħol fil-kontendent dinji. It didn't take us long to fall in love with Porsche's entry-level roadsterIt only took a warm summers evening, an unbroken stretch of British B-road and some quality time alone for me to fall in love with the new Porsche Boxster. Id already driven the car in the south of France, but that was a PDK-equipped model with the steering wheel on the wrong side and a photographer in it; Id gathered enough to know that it was very good indeed, but it hadnt worked its way under my skin. A month or so later and Porsche had the car in the UK, with a manual stick shift and an empty passengers seat adjacent to it. It was only the standard 2. 7-litre model (wed road test the pokier S) but its brilliant blue paintjob matched the sky overhead and it wasnt lumbered with too much optional extra chicanery. Pure would be one word for it, and thats exactly what it felt like on my two-hour route to the south coast. Weve spent thousands of words since then dissecting the root causes of this vague conviction, but recalling that day, I remember only the gushing, gravelly yowl of the six-pot, the perfection of a fully exploitable 263bhp and the sinewy, scintillating quality of the handling. Oh, and the expression on my face: a slowly evolving smile that finished, at 6700rpm, as an open-mouthed, gleeful gasp. The minimum standard for any car capable of putting wind in its drivers wig is invigoration, but on that particular afternoon the Boxster, in a country mostly built from traffic jams and speed limits, reminded me why this, right here, is a best job in the world contender.
