Just had a panic re throttle return spring

Well once the mines closed, all those union reps had to go somewhere...

And what a pleasure it has been meeting them

Our 2001 Boxster is an electronic throttle. Even the 2.5 was as far as I know.

Must be those flat caps and whippets that affect the Northern scrutes minds.

Those of us old enough will remember Barry Sheene taking part in a race at Daytona and suffering a massive rear tyre deflation at 200mph, on the very fast banked section. It was discovered that he had a valve cap missing and that was what caused it. On a more recent occasion I was told of another Northern scrutt who warned a driver that he must have his very long hair cut before he appeared again at the venue. It was in fact outside his helmet and an engine fire could well have given the ultimate in short back and sides. So safety conscious these Northerners.
