Oops I've done it again, again

As some of you may recall the current GTS was an impulse purchase after popping in to let the OPC look at the corroded exhaust tips on the previous car (and one I'm very still very happy with). Well this time I went in on Saturday to enquire about getting some winter wheels and tyres for the Macan as I don't like the summers it came with and we got talking about the 718-6 which we were expecting to be announced in November and will hopefully be getting sometime next year..
During this they asked me if I'd be interested in taking on a standard 718 Boxster in the interim as they have a few coming through before the end of December and were prepared to do a very special deal if I was. In short they came back to me today with some available cars and an offer that really was too good to refuse so I've bought one.
Its not quite the spec I would have chosen but too late to change as its being built now and is expected to exit the factory on Friday. The one I've got is in Gentian Blue with full black leather and 20" Carrera Classics. As for the noise out of the back end its not a flat six howl but it'll be better than the diesel SLK it'll be replacing and we've always got the Cayman if we need some proper noise therapy. Should be collecting before Christmas so will post pics when it's here.
