'Perfect match'
Today I got inspired of the first Boxster while dreaming of having convertible in my garage. It's not the prettiest Porsche with its straight character line, ugly roof lump -shared by many and also spoiled numerous of otherwise great designs, somewhat symmetrical front and rear design and the ever-ugly roll bars. Mazda Miata from the same era don’t have roll bars, so why Porsche? Anyway, it's a Porsche with sympathetic frog face and fabulous soul.

Porsche is a master of producing limited edition models -the cars that Wolf Cars celebrates. There's a tremendously of different versions, most of them ridiculous sales boosting make overs, but some of them are really special, like RS-models. The one that I felt in love today is a 550 Spyder 50th Anniversary Edition released in 2004 -exactly one of those make over editions, nothing really special, but has a perfectly matching colour scheme. GT Silver Metallic from Carrera GT concept and cocoa-brown leather interior makes a one of the most sophisticated marriages I have seen.
