Jack Brittain's Boxster S
Pics and Links

The S model has a 3.2 liter horizontal six with 250 hp. The car is incredibly capable and has a top speed in the neighborhood of 170 mph. Where this car really shines is on winding mountain roads with posted advisories of 20 mph, second and third gear roads.

January 3, 2010: Been quite awhile since this page was updated. When my boys became teenagers, their activities dominated my free time and became our family focus. The past couple of years, it has been all hockey all the time. We still have another 4 years of high school ahead for our younger son, and it is going to be basketball several times a week and travel to basketball tournaments. I still have the Boxster, but it is feeling neglected lately.

The stories and pictures on this site are among the greatest times of my life. It is unlikely I will ever be in the same place in life to do all these things again, but the times, places and people are among the highlights of a life lived. If you are looking at this page, you are probably thinking about doing some of these things, too. Do them.

Pictures

A collection taken at different points in time and illustrating some of the modifications to the car. I installed H&R springs to lower the car and improve its cornering, added 996 headlights and clear side markers for looks, and have Fikse forged aluminum wheels I use for speed events and in warm weather. I also enjoy autocrossing the car, a form of time-trial racing done on short courses set up in large parking lots, and there are some pictures of me in action.
