Can you slide the Boxster about in slippery conditions or does the absence of an LSD leave you with a one wheel fire?

Ok, I'm trying to organise myself for tomorrow. If I make it as far as Yorkshire I will call you. I've found Jon Seal's website. Out of interest, I've tried looking for LSDs to suit the car, they're around £900, do you know how much it would cost to fit one?

I did a deal on a Z4M yesterday. I didn't quite make it to Yorkshire Jon because when I drove the Z4M (which was half way to Yorkshire) I decided it was exactly what I've been looking for. The Boxster S is definitely a better car but the Z4M is just fun. Will probably keep it for a year until I get bored and be back in a VX220, Elise or get a Boxster S.

Thanks, no pics at the moment. I'll get it on Saturday after a new battery has been fitted as that was part of the deal. I'm excited, I'm looking forward to turning the DSC off :)

I will sell the VX220. Just took it out for a spin with no roof, lovely drive but I think I snapped the gear cable :(

Bearing in mind the VX220 was already a second car. So I'll have three cars now until I sell it.

Had a Z4M before the VX. Never really gelled with it. It was good fun but not enough to justify the cost of ownership at that time in my opinion.
