For a rear seats photo of the same car, they move those front seats all the way forward, to show the amount of room in the back seat. This guy just forgot to move them forward a bit when taking the photos.

However, with the seat all the way back in one of those things, a 7 footer could probably drive it OK, so someone of average size would never have it back so far. That car is probably marginally larger than my fintail, and the fintail has a bit more legroom with the seat at a normal position. I used to cram 3-4 other guys in the car now and then when I used it as my everyday car in school, and everyone fit just fine. |

BOXSTER -- very reliable car as a rule, yes. GREAT gas mileage, too.

A friend for Andre's NYers Why spend 11K on a 116 when this photogenic old beast is still available "exact replica"...maybe to a 5 year old. Is that truck wearing British plates? Nothing could go wrong here I bet this handles nicely

Replying to: fintail (Nov 07, 2008 10:08 am) The exact replica.... nice gaps in the wheel wells. Looks like it's meant for offroading. The Bi Turbo looks super clean. The Chevy on 24s.... at least the guy has a more realistic price than one we saw listed for $10k a few months ago. |

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 07, 2008 10:06 am) Well, wife is reluctant to spring $11k on a toy car for me. I'll keep working on her in the new year.  BUT, just in case ... what do you think is better out of the box for street and track use: 2.5 Boxster or 2.8 Z3? I think the mid-engine layout is what really pulls me towards the Boxster idea. But, I gotta think practical, too. I could actually work on a Z3 in my garage.
