Waching daily Apr 29 2018

it's day three here on our PAX adventure and I'm just still kind of

getting ready. the guys have already left and gone to the convention center I'm

gonna you know go at my own pace eat my breakfast I got some super cool jewelry

from Drakiden Designs yesterday. They were at PAX unplugged and I managed

to get some Catbus earrings from them and they had a whole bunch of Totoro

stuff this time too so I was super excited about that but this time they

also had some glow-in-the-dark dice stuff and my dress is all galaxies today

I'll show you a shot later and I figured that you know glow-in-the-dark dice

probably goes with glow-in-the-dark life style this dress doesn't glow, that would

be pretty cool though so yeah I'll just finish up getting ready and yeah

then we'll see what the convention is like since it's the second day of pax

it's Friday now and Friday used to be the first day of pax it used to only be

a three-day convention and now it's a four-day convention so we should see

more people today than we did yesterday but Saturday is usually the big day in

fact Saturday tickets are all completely sold out at this point Friday you could

still get tickets and I think you might even be able to still get tickets for

today not entirely sure on that ones but you know whatever pax is a great

convention if you've never been to it before by the way I used to go to

Anime conventions when I was in like high school and stuff with a lot of

friends and I enjoyed them but I eventually kind of grew out of them

because I found that they were too crowded for me there weren't as many fun

things to do some people were rude a lot of people made me feel personally

inadequate for being there because maybe I hadn't heard of a series that they

were fans of or if I had maybe I didn't know all of the facts or I wasn't a

super fan enough of whatever it was that was going on

and I found that at PAX people are really tolerant no matter what your

level of engagement with whatever it is is there are a lot of large varying

differences in things that you can do as well so I primarily just hang out in the

tabletop area all day and just play board games with a bunch of people

sometimes random people some people that we already know actually I have seen

people multiple years in a row now that even though we forget each other's names

between the years we end up playing games with each other all the time so

it's kind of cool but like I don't prefer going to panels most of the time

because I don't really like to spend a couple hours in line and then sit down

and like watch something that may or may not be interesting to me especially

because a lot of the panels nowadays are actually streamed on Twitch so you can

watch the VOD later if you really cared about it

but I'm really here for the exciting experience of getting to see new people

getting to play new games I don't know just hanging out and enjoying my time

like this is the one vacation we take a year and I like to just treat it like

that; treat it like it's a vacation so that I can just kind of enjoy whatever's

going on around me as opposed to feeling like I'm not supposed to be there.

so it's a very good it's a very good convention if you've never gone, highly

recommend any of the Penny Arcade Expos okay well

that's the end of the intro

yesterday there was zero line to get in so this already tells you how many more

people are here just on Friday alone. clarification there was no line at that

entrance that I went to but there were hardly any people in it today too so

it wasn't that bad but you can already see... Way more people than yesterday.

Oh sweet! We were just talking about this yesterday!

Hi! How's it going?!

It's good! I'm excited to see this!

and are you going to be here for like

Yeah, I'll probably wander around for a bit but

basically yeah, today and tomorrow. Let me get you actually on the camera instead of

having a disembodied voice

Hello camera!

This is awesome!

I just... happened to see it.

Yeah, very cool.

Kartoffelkrieg blargh blah mutter mutter

SUPPORT ME ON KICKSTARTER give me money

I'll put a link down in the doobly-doo this is going to be a great game and

Mike Chthulu is your channel, right?

Yes, Michael Chthulu (michael spelled Michael and Chthulu spelled... the normal way.)

and not because of my swords.

I that that looks like... Admiral Potatoman.

It's the little hat!

All by myseeeeeelffff.

because it's a little bit boring

and I've been watching our table for like two

It's a bunny! Look at that cute bunny!

bunny run away it's raining be cute but not in the rain

Come on, Kittens.

oh they told me to stop filming Bunnies. lame. tragedy has befallen the meow meow

Kapow household a smoothie was left unattended this morning in the hotel

Is that really something you need to vlog about?

yes it is it's very important to me that this smoothie be memorialized

because it was delicious and it died before it was meant to because I forgot

it here and I regret it. r.i.p smoothie, R.I.P. another day down we're just

exhausted we had pizza for dinner and now we're watching stupid garbage TV we

[ Green Head Spirit ] L'éclairage "OBIE" - Duration: 3:27.

Hi ! Welcome in this new video that will be...

A Beauty Tutorial

Yup ! In this vidéo i'll talk about

a lighting that makes you prettier

There's it is. We call that an Obie Light

Ok that's great but

but why making of video of this especially ?

Because it's by far one of my favourite filmmaking tool

and not just because it's cool

it's because there's a exiting story behind it

The Obie Light was created in the 30's from the name of the actress Merle Oberon

She was a great actress in the 30's

in 1930 you had to have striking eyes

and a beautiful skin to become an holywood star

But in 1937

Merle Oberon is injured during a car crash

and get scars on the face that will never fade

This car crash should have ended her career

But Merle was married to Lucien Ballard

a great Director of Photography

Devastated by the fact she'll never play again

Lucien created a type of lighting that will hide her scars

And that's how the Obie Light was born

from Merle Oberon nickname : "Obie"

This romantic and unbelievable story made me fall in love of this light

So obviously the main use of this light is

to have a prettier face

The idea is that the light is mounted directely on the camera

Nowadays we see it frequently on TV reports

with LED pannels mounted on camera for shooting and lighting at the same time

But in 1937 that was unique

So let's take a look

We got a lens adaptator

and when the ring is screwd you just have to plug-in the pannel

and add the battery

Wonderful

And when you switch on...

That's a cheap little one that I bought on amazon

but there's some bigger model that can even be settled on c-stand

The other asset of this lighting is that

you can't be seen on reflection

So it's an overused lighting in music clip

Because the camera is mostly in front of the singer

so it prevents to be seen in the eyes or in sunglasses

It may sound weird for now

but i'm sure you've already seen it

You don't believe me?

Just take a look

What?

We can see white rings in her eyes that hide the camera

Yeah

I hear you saying

"THATS SO GREAT"

"WHY NOBODY USE IT ??!"

annnnnnd that's because that's not as simple as it seems

The huge problem of the Obie is that

If it's your only light source, it will be ugly

and we do not want and ugly light

Because the light is near the lens and in front of the face

It will look more like a phone flash

that a real cinema lighting

So the best way to use it is to have multiple light sources

One in the front and many other for balance the first one

but it's harder to set up

The obie light, exiting story

and a lovable tool

I hope you enjoyed discovering it

please tell me in comments if you want more videos like this

I let you search in your favourite film or music clip if you find the glint of a Obie

BYE <3

Top 3 Manna Exercises for beginners!! - Duration: 4:26.

Hey what's up guys?

In todays video I'm gonna give you three of the best exercises to develop the Manna!

For beginners.. Coming up.

Hey what's up guys!

Sid here, welcome to my channel where I bring you the best content on bodyweight and gymnastics training

In todays video i'm gonna show you three great exercises to get started with your manna training.

All of these exercises are drills that prepare for manna training.

They are not specific manna drills.

So this is going to be a beginner version, there are more advanced exercises you can do.

But in todays video i'm gonna focus on a few easier progressions.

So if you guys want to learn the manna, and don't know what exercises too do.

Then these exercises are gonna be great for you and will be a great way to get started

with your manna training.

To get started with the top 3 beginner exercises for the Manna we have the Middle split hold.

This is the starting position of the Manna and mastering this position is essential to

prepare and learn the skill properly.

This will build up strength in the rear delts (shoulder retraction), triceps and the hips.

To do this exercise we start with the hands backwards, lock the arms, split the legs as

wide as we can.

Retract the shoulders and lean backwards and push with the triceps until you lift from

the ground.

Hold this position, and keep the legs straight and focus on retracting the shoulders.

This will be one of the first specific manna exercises you should work on!!

Lifting up to the Manna can be on of the most difficult things about the skill, so it's

necessary to work on the lifting phase, which we will cover in the next exercise!

For this exercise you can work with 10-30s holds for 3-5 sets.

The second exercise will be leg lifts on the stall bars.

This is fundamental exercise for the Manna.

This will help build up strength in the compression for the Manna, and will improve hip and core

You can do 3 different variations

Half leg lifts, these are the beginner version of the leg lifts.

Regular hanging leg lifts, these are full exercise, and will be a great compression/core exercise.

Last variation is the L to V leg lifts, these are extremely helpful in developing compression

and core strength for the L to V part of the Manna.

Focus on keeping straight legs, pointed toes and compress the body as much as you can.

For the leg lifts work from 5-10 reps and 3-5 sets.

Adding weight on the leg lifts can be helpful to increase difficulty once they are mastered.

The last exercise will help develop shoulder extension mobility, and work on the shoulder

retraction for the Manna.

It's very important that you retract the shoulders during the manna.

In order to use the rear delts to push us in to the right position.

The manna slides will help develop your shoulder extension.

and teach us how to retract the shoulders and develop strength in that position for the Manna

You want to do the exercise on a slippery wall, or use a slippery object like a furniture mover or a frisbee.

Start with the hands backwards, hands as close together as possible.

The further away you are from the wall the easier it will be.

Since it gives you more space to move through the range of motion

Then you want to push the feet as high up on the wall as you can, Try to get the hips to shoulder level.

Focus on maintaining retracted shoulders during the whole skill.

You can do 5-10 reps for 3-5 sets on this as well.

占卜|天使給你的祝福-給需要祝福的你 - Duration: 10:36.

Hello, I'm Pei-Wei Liao.

Today we got

the blessings of Angel healing cards.

They're a little more special.

Most

can inspire you.

That is , develop your talent.

Do you see it?

Do you believe it?

Why have I been talking about this issue recently?

Because I found

most people are trapped in

money and fame.

Forget that

it seems what will eventually be taken away is wisdom.

All men will die.

Money, fame, or anyone will not stay with you forever.

So to the end,

We still leave alone.

But what will be with you?

Wisdom.

And some things you might have left in this world.

It's a matter of satisfaction for you.

So when you left,

you would be contented then

rather than being in fear and fear all the time.

So today's cards

are very "talented."

I use this word to describe it.

Feel good about yourself.

Don't start with like...

NO, I have not!

Got it?

Or if possible,

you can take this essential oil with you

which can help you. This one is called Patchouli.

A favor to remove some negative energy and to control appetite.

The most important is the control of appetite and the release of some negative energy.

In addition, this lemongrass,

It has one advantage that it can incense.

Summer is coming.

Mosquitoes are afraid to enter your home with it.

So it has the function of purifying the magnetic field.

So you can consider it.

I think essential oil is a very good thing.

So I will recommend it for this reason.

It 's fine if you don't buy it.

Go to

the nearest department store

where sells essential oils.

Don't take the blending one.

Otherwise, it is okay.

Then we take a look at these five cards.

Which card you choose, I think it's great.

All right? Then...

It's also great, which is up to you.

Try to get engaged.

Okay, let's see these five cards.

Which card do you like?

And think you are done.

Okay, let's start with the first one.

The first one it tells you

Master of Ascension.

Master of Ascension, Maturity and Wisdom.

In care of

and guide you.

The so-called Ascension Master

is the one you admire most.

Most of them are related to the so-called

gods.

Well. it could be a Bodhisattva, or maybe

Jesus.

All are possible.

So

Master Ascension is a great power.

With it,

boundless love and wisdom

of the ascending master is looking after and guiding you.

So you have to inspire yourself.

With love and ....

The heart that feels energy

which is also wisdom.

I said that wisdom can be taken away.

So do you have that one?

Master Ascension is helping you.

Feel it deeply.

You will be more intelligent than others.

Have more senses.

Because you have the blessing and help from Ascension Master.

Maybe you will tell me

it is a fish story or freaking amazing.

But remember it.

You absolutely have an energy and you are eager to provoke it.

So you will watch this video today, okay?

Next, if you choose number 2 "Genie."

Your relationship with the elves is very close.

Your life...

The purpose of life is related to helping nature.

I think...you like nature.

So you should have something to do with the nature.

I often see some people being dedicated to environmental protection.

I admire them.

To me, I really don't have that strength to do that thing.

But I'm...

I'm more interested in helping the mind.

but

Helping nature...

Especially elves in the nature are so close to you.

Don't you think you are wonderful?

Think that you are better.

Try to remember the good parts of your past.

I feel that...

When you have the determination to make yourself better.

This wonderful mind will always follow you.

Especially when you are willing to be close to nature and do something with nature.

You will feel more and more satisfied.

Feel yourself.

Feel yourself, okay?

The one loves the nature.

All right, next...if you get number 3...

You are a powerful worker of light.

You can show your personal strength with peace of mind.

When you use the power of the mind.

Serve God with the love.

Will bring you great blessings.

Wow!

You are born to be a very powerful light worker.

So you have a lot of energy inside your inner.

Great energy.

Then serve God.

Then that love must be strong.

But I still point out that what I mean about very strong love is

you must observe yourself first

There are many people...

I believe that many people know that certain groups will continue to support others.

But I often see those people...

It makes me feel strongly...

Makes me feel

it seems that they have forgotten themselves and continue to help others.

But forget yourself...

The original mood is also very...

very strong and very manipulative.

Maybe it also needs a lot of approvals of that sentiment.

No relaxation.

So you will feel

sometimes it seems to be forced.

I remember when my mother died

there is a so-called volunteer group

Do us a favor in " ju-nien."- for the dead reciting Amitabha before dying.

Then I remember that time... dear big brothers and sisters in the volunteer group.

They were strictly controlling the volume of our voices.

If not, they would blame you aloud.

Then We had been continuously controlled and blamed for seven days.

I still remember it now.

Almost every group did.

But you can still see that some people really knew our sadness

which made them more approachable.

It is very important.

Can you be a powerful worker?

I really like the story of Jesus Christ.

When

When you want to throw stones and shame people, have you seen that you have done it yourself?

Then you have the right to do it.

So let all things come back to yourself first.

I really like this Christian story.

Very beautiful.

All right?

Okay, next,if you get number 4.

The Third Eye.

You can carefully observe that all your love forms with peace in your mind.

Such as images of angels, gas fields, and spiritual visions.

That is so great.

You may have this talent.

Do you believe there is a third eye?

If you want to open the third eye, then it is a hope that you want to...

explore your inner.

That is sacred and respected.

I can let many people worship me.

I am surpassing in my area.

Then the third eye opens, probably lead to some parts of less love.

But if you are really relaxing naturally,

The third eye will open automatically.

Relax.

The so-called Buddha's Six Wonders, all of which I believe exist.

Depend on if you are willing to break the frame that you've had.

I remember Mr. Li, whom you should know.

He was

He was a former professor at National Taiwan University.

President of National Taiwan University, I'm sorry

He was also a professor.

and so

He could see words only with his hands.

You can go and check the process of his research.

Was so amazing!

I've already checked.

So people have great potential.

But

He ever said that

The older the child is, the harder it is to train.

It is better to train the younger child.

The reason is simple.

The more restrictions they have when getting older.

So your third eye is covered.

I don't usually want to open my third eye.

I just want to calm my own mind.

This is my most important aim.

I think I hope after getting calm,

the third eye is really open with great power.

I think this relies on different needs of everyone.

All right? You have this talent.

So take good care of it, dear.

Do not deny yourself.

Next, "Implicit ability"

Use your spiritual talent to get the desired result.

In other words,

You are born with it.

You can use it.

Go and get the result you want.

But

You may tell me you are out.

Nothing happens.

Why?

Never did such a thing, and did not get such a result.

Where does this feeling come from?

This is a very important thing because we never feel this way.

So you might think

it should not exist.

But have you ever thought about it?

Possibly, it is because

you didn't find it.

Just like Hawking died just a while ago.

To be honest, I initially thought

it was a pity that we lost a talent.

But he found a lot

things we may not have imagined.

Especially the theory of the black hole.

So it is not necessarily that it doesn't exist.

It is we have not found it.

Have you discovered your own manifestation power?

Is it obvious?

Better to use it.

You will be stronger.

Got five cards today.

Everyone needs to observe themselves.

You will be stronger.

I deeply wish you.

Deep blessing with angels as well.

I am Pei-Wei Liao and this is the time for today's angel cards.

Bless you, Bye! Bye!

The Thinker MAJOR Twist Starts The Enlightenment? MAJOR Death In The Finale? -The Flash 4x22 Teaser - Duration: 7:01.

Laure events unfold naturally they're not in our favor the sister said it

would his obsess came our way without the

hindrance of that most aberrant of human follies I did indeed

listen for a moment there I this in start sir perhaps now you can accept

that the primitive cognitive entanglements the derails mr. Allen

today can also show us

Oh

what's good youtube Warstu here if you're into the flash season of four

this is definitely the channel for you so the flash is getting good in the past

couple of episodes we have episode 20 this week therefore she is we will see

the return of the accelerating man from earth 19 who we have briefly seen before

let's hope this time it's more than a brief cameo and possibly see the return

of coffee shop girl shit just go who no one actually knows but everyone seems to

cool at dawn and because that just reference a major comic book character

but I don't know where if I know who that is at some point so at the moment

the flash is all about the enlightenment even though we don't know what it is

we've known what it is since the very start this season but we don't actually

know what it is but I feel like they're gonna leave the actual reveal late just

slightly did with the savat are revealed late well let's hope it's not too late

all we know it's a dark matter explosion and they need some kind of advice

to pull it off it's a device essentially but they need fall outs explosion and

nuke that he's got I'm silent but devout doesn't want to absorb his power because

then he'd be a walking bomb and he doesn't want that so yeah I don't know

if anyone's noticed that that's the only matter who he doesn't want it but could

this info from episode 21 episode 2 give us an insight to what the enlightenment

is so the synopsis for episode 21 which is called Harry and the Harrison team

flash turns to alia black for help with des Vosges enlightenment device nearly

complete in order to Sable it the flash and his team must put their faith in an

unlikely ally only at black meanwhile Harry hits an all-time low when the

council wells kick him out but then the Cisco introduces him to the

council Harrison's that sounds pretty ridiculous and pretty funny but we're

gonna concentrate on episode 22 slop says which is the season penultimate

episode before season finale which is called

think fast so John Diggle is guest star in this episode when DeVoe assaults an

Argus facility to complete his enlightenment machine Barry realizes the

only way he can stop him is if he allows Cisco and Caitlin to accompany him into

the facility still shaken by himself killing Ralph because I keep saying and

I will always say that Barry isn't sure if he wants to risk any more of his

friends alive and considers taking de veau solo

finally Berry is actually gonna defeat a villain by himself mostly not but it's

interesting because we're gonna go into the episode before the finale and the

enlightenment machine it still isn't ready so this is gonna be a case of

light last year it's gonna be a real late bloomer we're not really gonna know

what the Enlightenment is till the end the season so what we know about the

Enlightenment is it's actually a device and DeVoe will attack an Argus base for

the Enlightenment machine and also he's going to get fallouts powers cuz

obviously he's got the mind control power and he's got a lot powers so he

can actually find out so based on set photos from the finale from Canada

graphs I'll leave his blog down below we can

guess that the overall plan could be artificial intelligent version of the

thinker just a lightly did in the comic books as we've seen an army like drone

robots version 10 DeVos moving as one and you can kind of sense that maybe

that is the Enlightenment I guess that's all we really know at the moment but we

do know it's gonna be a dark matter explosion which could create other

species like meaner like August heart Godspeed but he's really God speed isn't

a villain all everyone wants God to be to come he's so trendy but he's just

disappeared in the comics at the moment he disappeared probably into Speed Force

but he's more of an antihero so guys let me know what do you think this

enlightenment really is I think they're just gonna create an artificial which

agents version of the thinker and the alai enlightenment is bassy so the thing

that combined control everyone in Central City because he is a teacher and

he just wants to teach everyone the Enlightenment is Devoe's purpose the

meaning of life I guess you could say so hopefully I have explained what I think

the enlightenment will be and hopefully I am right but also it wouldn't be the

flash without a death so in flash season 1 ebar thorne died well no he didn't

really went to speed force in season 2 Henry Allen died yes he did really die

in season 3 H are tied so who would die in the flash season 4 is it gonna be

Harry Harry wells will Harry wells die I did initially think it was gonna be

Cecile juice her giving birth to Joe's new baby and it will be a female version

of Daniel west daniela west but just like

an infinity war if you don't have an emotional attachment to the character

then you're not really gonna feel anything so what's the point of kin and

self when she hasn't been seen since the trial of flash so i'm a bit unsure who

they'll kill so I'm actually thinking or not going to kill anyone off this year

because they started off really light now they're kind of going dark we

devotional metahumans so I don't really know but I just wanted to add the kind

of someone died Syria now because it happens every single year on the flash

so let me know guys was the Enlightenment and who is gonna die on

the flash season for because someone will have to die I know it's not gonna

be a it won't be berry cuz he's a mining star won't be iris when we Caitlin when

we Cisco so Harry is a good option and Cecile won't be Jesse because she's

guest star won't be Wally so it's gonna be very interesting so anyway guys

please like subscribe and comment and that would be awesome

remember to hit the Buy button down below because unless you have 10 million

subscribers you don't get notified and we are up to fourteen thousand scrubs

Do you know what these HUGE Forms are?! Abandoned Water Treatment Plant - Urbex Lost Places Germany - Duration: 11:21.

It's already been abandoned for over 20 years.

The old wastewater treatment plant of a small German town.

It was also the former water-processing unit of a huge power station

and the big tanks in the outside area of the plant are silent witnesses of the old industry.

Where thousands of liters of water had flown through the pumping system in the past,

now dominates complete silence.

In the halls of the building complex everything was left behind.

Unfortunately most of the equipment was destroyed or stolen by now but the whole place is still a sight to see.

Join us for a glimpse behind the scenes of this impressive plant.

In the end nature always wins.

The heritage of mankind won't stand the test of time.

Even these concrete blocks are reclaimed by nature only a few years after people abandoned them.

Only from the air it becomes apparent what this is in the first place.

These are former clarifying basins which were used to reprocess water.

Several big tanks are part of this facility.

On a cold winter day we traveled to the small city in Eastern Germany

to explore this old water treatment plant.

Really quick we realized that the site had clearly seen better days.

Vandals and thieves have made sure of that.

Only a small amount of devices is still inside the plant.

Plenty of equipment has already been stolen.

Arsonists destroyed the place by starting fires in some of the rooms.

Luckily the damage caused by them is relatively small.

It's hard to find any information about the place.

Unfortunately some of it was torn down a few years ago but the main buildings are still there.

This purification plant was probably part of the brown coal power station

that was in immediate proximity until a few years ago.

The calendars we found were supporting this theory.

They suggest that the facility was abandoned at the same time when the power plant was shut down.

The powerhouse next door was brought on stream in the 1960s.

Back then the massive building complex was the figurehead of the city.

With a workforce of several thousands of people the power plant was the region's largest employer.

Around 70% of the townsfolk were on the payroll.

But at the same time the site caused a high level of sulphur dioxide pollution.

After the German reunification a big structural change had started which involved all aspects of life.

In the end the energy production of the powerhouse was abandoned in 1996.

Even the lignite production in the vicinity came to a halt.

Since the building complex wasn't used any more it was planned to locate business enterprises on the property.

For that reason the power station was torn down bit by bit.

The only remnant left behind is this water-processing unit.

In the past the heated cooling water was used for carp farming.

Before the polluted warm water could be reused it needed to get purified in this sewage treatment plant first.

But due to the size of this facility we're assuming that it didn't only clarify the wastewater of the power station

but also the sewage of the whole city.

But some of the untreated water got into the Spree.

That's a big river in Germany which was also a source of drinking water for the people in Berlin.

But because of the wastewater the quality of the river got worse and worse.

Finally the town arranged the construction of a new defecator.

This was the first purification plant built after the political change.

But as a result the old plant became obsolete.

To clean the different kinds of sewage this plant was used to remove the unwanted components from the water.

this plant was used to remove the unwanted components from the water.

In order to do that, mechanical and biological treatments were applied.

In our opinion, this part of the building belonged to the biological treatment.

We think that these are trickling filters.

Till today some of them are still filled with different kinds of sediments.

Bacteria which clings to these sediments were purifying the wastewater

that was dripped onto the filter from biodegradable substances in the past.

Due to the consumption of the substances the bacteria culture grew.

If the biological films caused blockage, backwash water needed to flow in from underneath.

The backwash water saturated with bacteria film was removed and fresh water was refilled.

Depending on its size and weight the sediment settled down again in their previous arrangement.

The entire process was initiated and controlled by with several units.

The huge tanks in the outside area of the wastewater treatment plant

were aeration tanks and/or secondary clarifiers.

At least we think so.

Unfortunately, we aren't a hundred percent sure.

So if an expert is watching this video, please correct us in the comment section if we're wrong.

Activation basins need permanent oxygen feed.

Bacteria are using this oxygen to remove the organic materials from the sewage.

There's a lot of so called activated sludge as a result.

Final clarifiers are used to remove this sludge from the water.

In order to do that, a so called scraper is needed.

That's this kind of bridge over the tank.

As a result the treated water can be piped back to the nature or to the powerhouse for example.

The highlight of the site in our opinion was the old pumping station.

Everywhere were pipes, valves, engines and gearwheels.

It's real industrial porn!

And even here nature is reclaiming its habitat.

Another interesting part of the building was the room with the old switch gear and control gear.

Well, at least it was interesting some time ago.

By now the metal thieves had stripped the machines for valuable parts.

The only thing left to see here is the mold on the walls.

The level below this room didn't look better.

Parts of the cable floor were completely trashed.

By the way: All these shots were taken in only one of the two buildings on the property.

But as you can see from the air the other one was identically constructed.

Luckily, vandalism was less severe in this building.

And so another successful urbex day came to an end.

For the technophiliac crew members this place offered an in-depth look into the process of water purification.

It's a place rich in variety with lots of interesting things to discover.

But it's sad to see the plant in such a bad condition.

Even if no one is interested in the place anymore we are trying to preserve its legacy.

Though it has been abandoned, it is not forgotten.

Next Sunday on this channel.

We unveil the story of an abandoned residence where all the personal stuff was left behind.

Literally everything...

Thanks for tuning in again this week.

This was another exploration made possible by our supporters over on Patreon.

The BWT army is consistently growing and that's awesome, thanks for that!

Lots of new content is coming your way, guys!

Comparative: BMW Z3 and Boxster 986 - which one to choose? - Duration: 29:10.

Hello this is Piston Kirk!

In one of my previous videos,

whose link is in the description,

you could see that, for family reasons,

I ended up with two roadsters in my garage,

so here's the perfect opportunity to compare two of the most seductive cabriolets of the 90's

and find which car is the most interesting between the BMW Z3 and the Boxster 986

the rivalry between the BMW Z3 and the Boxster 986 is old

New or used, the press has often made comparative tests between its two great rivals.

So you're going to say : "Why make one more?"

Well ... Because most of these comparisons are focused on the price / performance ratio,

which makes less and less sense for a youngtimer.

Since these cars are technically outdated

and that few people will use them on a circuit,

our approach will be to see what are the strengths and weaknesses

in terms of comfort in everyday use.

But hey, before analyzing the practical aspects,

let's still do a little mechanical comparison to refresh our memory.

Point 1: Mechanics

Let's start with road holding

Although they are both powered

they have ABS

and that they came out the same year,

a gap separates them.

With its rear central engine,

the Boxster is a real kart that takes the curves as on rails,

while the grip of the rear axle of the Z3 on wet ground sometimes approaches that of

of a bar of soap.

I would like to add some nuances

because the BMW has, at least, the merit to warn you before completely losing its adherence,

which makes this car very fun to drive.

With respect to the Boxster, when you have reached the limit of adhesion,

it's often already too late to react

Fortunately, to overcome this problem,

both manufacturers offered (as an option)

electronic assistance.

To find out if the car you drive is equipped with this system,

you have to look at the switches in the center console of the dashboard.

On the BMW Z3, ​​the switch is here.

If it is written on "ASC",

it's that you only have ABS and traction control.

On the other hand, if it is written "DSC", ie "Dynamic Stability Control",

you actually have ESP (ESC),

a much more rare option

but much more powerful to stay on the road.

On the Boxster, the switch that serves to disable the electronic control is here.

If you have a black cover with nothing written,

then, you only have ABS.

If you have a switch with written: "TC off"

then you have the option "Traction Control"

then you have the option "Traction Control"

In 2001, Porsche replaced this "Traction Control" with something a little better:

the "Pack Stability Managment", which is a kind of ESP (ESC),.

then the switch has changed its name,

to be called: PSM off.

It goes without saying that when it comes to safety,

these electronic systems are very usefull

and not only on circuit.

They can save you, even in common use

especially in rainy weather.

Moreover, for many journalists of the automotive press of the 90's

these options were strongly recommended.

If despite ABS and ESP you still end up in the wall,

you can count on the front and side airbags that equip both models.

In fact no...

It is true that the first years of production, from 1996 to 1998,

the Boxster did not have side airbags.

On the other hand, they were all equipped with a standard roll bar,

which was unfortunately not the case for the Z3

which proposed this security bar only as an option.

Now let's look at the engine,

in its beginnings in 1996,

the Z3 was equipped with 1.8L and 1.9L engines that had only 4 cylinders,

while a Boxster 2.5 L, output the same year, already had 6 cylinders.

In order to compete, in 1997,

BMW put under the hood of its roadster a 6-cylinder in line,

but, chuttttt!

Shut up.

Listen...

The melodious roar of this engine has nothing to envy to that of the flat 6 of the Boxster

I hope you enjoyed this symphony

because with the anti-pollution standards that are getting ready,

we will soon have only half 6 cylinders.

But the sound is not everything,

In terms of power, what do we have?

Again, the Boxster takes the advantage.

The basic Z3 1.8 L had only 115 hp

while the 2.5 L Boxster started at 204 hp.

Although the Z3 weighs a little less heavy,

it was not enough to offset the weight / power ratio

which resulted in almost 3 seconds more at 0 to 100 km / h

To have a Z3 whose outperforms the Boxster the least powerful,

you have to look for the six cylinders from 2.8 L

However, in the 2000s, the Boxster also get a more powerful engines.

the Boxster S was equipped with a 3.2 L engine with 256 hp (260 hp between 2003 and 2004)

and at this level,

the only Z3 that can do better is the M version with 321 hp (but only 240 hp in the USA)

But hey, it's nice to speak about numbers, but it doesn't say anything about the pleasure of driving.

And here, I must admit that the flat 6 of the Boxster is distinguished by a great linearity in acceleration,

while on the Z3, you have to get high i rpm to find the power.

In comparison the engine of the Boxster gives the impression of never running out of power

which allows a greater flexibility in driving

which is particularly appreciable.

We have enough spoken mechanics.

Let's talk about the practical aspects

starting with one of the central points of these cars:

the opening of the roof

Point 2: The opening of the soft top

On the Boxster the electric roof is standard,

but to allow it to open, you must first pull the handbrake,

then, unlock the central handle of the roof,

then hold the switch down during the whole opening phase.

On the Z3 equipped with the electric roof option

it is not the hand brake that must be pulled,

but the brake pedal must be held down to allow the opening.

Then you have to unlock not one but two handles

Now open the roof and keep it ajar until you switch on the electric motor,

because there is a safety switch in the hinge.

Moreover, sometimes when the engine refuses to engage,

it's just that the switch is defective

Then, while keeping the roof slightly open with one hand,

use your other hand to press the opening switch.

On phase 1, this switch is located in front of you on the center console.

On phase 2, he was moved behind you between the two seat.

you must therefore look for it with your hand to activate it.

Frankly, I wonder how BMW engineers

have come to install it in a place that is not at all ergonomic.

So, on Phase 2, they asked us to put the clock in the middle.

The problem, as you can see, is that we have one less slot for the switches.

We will have to find a new location for the switch of the electric roof.

We could do like on the Z3 Coupe version

and put all the switches under the clock there.

Or, on the side in alignment with the window lift button.

Of course there is still room here.

Hold on !

What if we innovated?

We could do something new!

For example put it there behind.

Hmm ...

It's awesome !

Very creative!

Isn't it ?

But...

don't you think it's not very practical?

We see nothing...

and...

you have to twist your arm.

Maybe that's why nobody has done it yet.

Exactly,

we will be first!

We will be precursor!

Yeeees!

Validated!

Let's be honest,

the roof of the Z3 is a little less easy to open

and especially much less aesthetic.

While the Boxster offers a smooth and clean rendering,

the Z3 leaves the frame of the roof apparent.

It was so ugly,

that BMW sold as an option a leather cover for the roof

to smooth the lines of the car when the roof is open.

So, maybe it's very beautiful,

but it is long and boring to install.

But aesthetics is not the main fault of this roof,

there is a much more problematic design detail.

When you close the roof,

the two metal rods that are at its end

have a tendency to hang the rubber gasket from the windshield frame,

which ends by tearing it apart.

Then, as it is no longer waterproof,

the water trickles into the car.

In this case, the only solution is to replace the seal,

unfortunately it costs more than

350 euros at BMW

At this price, I preferred to repair it myself

with thread, a needle and some neoprene glue

Of course, it's not perfect,

but it's much better than before.

Even if in theory the opening of the boxster roof seems much more practical than that of the Z3,

it is necessary to put this judgment into perspective,

because they both have the same defect:

that is, a plastic window that forces you to comme out of the car in the middle of the opening phase

to tap the plastic window to prevent it from making a bad crease and breaking.

On this, the Z3 and the Boxster 986 are as boring one than the other

Well ... not all Boxster...

Ectually, Phases 2 produced from 2003 to 2004

had a new roof frame with a glass window.

So, we did not have to go out to tap the window.

The good news,

is that this new frame is compatible with Phases 1 produced from 2000 to 2002

and who are equipped with the new electrical system

that is, they have switches to open the front and rear trunk

and not handle with cable as on the first versions (1996 to 1999).

So, although it's great to be able to put a Phase 2 frame

the only small problem is that they are difficult and expensive to find used

As a result, some owners prefer to opt for a special sof top with a glass window

which is compatible with the Phase 1 frame

The disadvantage is that this window is slightly smaller than its plastic version.

The advantage is that it has an electric defrost

just plug in the hard-top plug witch is installed on all the Boxster.

If, despite all your precautions, you break the plastic window when opening the roof,

you must know that it is a real problem to repair it on the Boxster

because we have to dismantle all the soft top

which is long

complicated

and very expensive if a professional do it.

On the other hand, on the Z3, it's much simpler,

because the window is maintained by a simple zipper.

Since we only have the window to replace,

it is much cheaper and above all much faster.

Best of all, you can do it yourself without the help of a specialist.

Since prevention is better than cure

to limit the risk of breaking the window

and protect the soft top of the roof in winter,

you can use a hard-top that was available as an option on these two roadsters

Point 3: The hard-top

Personally, I love the hard-top of the Boxster because I find very elegant,

but if the manufacturer's one does not suit you,

know that there are two compatible versions inspired by the Cayman.

The first one is a normal hard-top.

The second version requires to remove the trunk to install it.

But in both cases, the result is very sporty.

We can also install a hard-top on a Z3,

but its integration with the car line is not as convincing.

It feels like the Z3 was wearing a helmet.

If you really want to hard roof on this model,

it is better to choose a Z3 coupe.

At least, the design of this car has the merit of not leaving indifferent:

you love it

or you hate it.

The only problem is that it is rather rare.

The coupe was produced with less than 18000 copies

against almost 280,000 for the roadster,

it's 15 times less.

It is therefore more difficult to find

and especially much more expensive than the convertible version of the Z3.

Well, we mentioned the hardtop, the opening of the roof but not its closure

so, before concluding this part, I would like to mention a little detail specific to the Boxster

on models from 2000

when we lock the roof it automatically goes up the windows.

So, sure, it's not essential,

but it's still a very practical function to use,

especially if you are in a hurry to close the roof because it starts to rain.

Well, come on, enough talk from outside it's time to enter inside.

Point 4: Driving comfort

When you think comfort, you think immediately: seat and driving position

and for having used these two roadster on long journeys,

I must admit that the Boxster has more comfortable seats.

We immediately feel that these seats were designed with the aim of driving on circuits.

You should know that these two roadster offered optional semi-bucket seats

which are perfect for those who have a sporty driving.

However, there is a small detail that bothers me about the Boxster:

If you are wide, it is better to chose standard seats

because semi-bucket seats tend to over-tighten at the ribs.

My wife loves them because she is narrower than me.

But personally,

even if I recognize that you are more stable on circuit,

I do not find them very pleasant over long distances.

About settings, the the back of the seat is electrical on all Boxster

On the other hand, to move from front to back, it is manual.

Curiously, on the Z3, it's exactly the opposite:

to move forward or backward the seat, it is electric

while to move the the back of the seat, it is manual.

In both cases,

it's a little frustrating that the entire seat is not electric

because it allows you finer adjustments.

Luckily on this point the boxster offers a solution by having optional

a complet electric seat with memory.

unfortunately it was so expensive

that finding a used Boxster equipped with it is a feat.

However, the heated seat is a relatively common option on both models.

It's not essential for a convertible,

but when you like to ride even in winter,

it is rather appreciable.

Well, adjusting the seat is good, but it's not the only thing that plays in the driving position.

There is also the steering wheel.

and at this level, the Boxster allows a deep adjustment,

but unfortunately not in height.

It's a pity, but it's still better than the Z3

which does not allow any adjustment at all

since the steering wheel is fixed.

Once installed, if you make a 1.80 meter like me,

it quickly appears that the roof of the Z3 is closer to your head than the one of the Boxster.

Clearly, when I ride with the roof closed,

I feel a bit crushed in Z3 while I do not have that feeling in the Boxster

Now that you have set the driving position, you can ride.

Then, what about the field of vision

On the Boxster, we have a more inclined windshield

and an frame on the windschied that is higher compared to the Z3,

On Boxster you have a wider field of vision than on the Z3.

Well, for now, the Boxster seems to be ahead of the Z3 at all levels.

But there is one point where the Z3 is much better than the Boxster:

the arm on the door.

Well, it may sound a little stupide said like that ...

but you have to know that puting the arm on the door in a comfortable position,

was part of the specifications of the Z3.

Why ?

Because its design was made for the American market.

And over there, driving a cabriolet with your arm on to the door,

it's almost an art of living.

Why do you think the amount of the door goes down?

it was to gain comfort.

On this point,

the Boxster is a little less good.

Of course we can put the arm on the door,

but as the door is a bit higher,

the angle your body makes with your arm being more important,

the position is a little less pleasant.

Point 5: Comfort of use and practical aspects

Let's start with the air conditioning,

you will tell me: "An air conditioning is useless."

Yeah sure, a cabriolet is made to ride with the roof open.

But, in fact... no!

In truth, it works especially for small trips.

On long journeys, when the sun beats,

After a while, I can not see the difference between my skin color and that of my jacket.

And there is also the problem of the highway.

Between the noise and the swirl of the wind, quickly, you only have one wish

it is to close the roof.

So once you have closed the roof in full sun,

it does not take long for the cabin to turn into an oven.

And in this specific moment, you realize that air conditioning is useful.

And that's why BMW offered (optional) manual air conditioning

while Porsche offered a slightly more advanced version

with an automatic regulation system,

where you just have to mark the temperature

which saves you from juggling all the time with air conditioning controls

This option was particularly appreciated,

since most Boxster are equipped.

Regarding the audio system,

on both models, the basic equipment integrated in the dashboard

is largely powerful enough to listen to the radio

even with the roof open.

But for music lovers,

both manufacturers offered as an option

additional speakers.

BMW housed them behind the seats,

and Porsche put a pair in the doors

and even offered an optional subwoofer on the back

In terms of accoustics, Porsche pushed the concept a little bit to far

since in their quest for the purity of sound,

they integratet on Phases 2 an optical fiber system,

which has the disadvantage of complicating things

when you want to change the car radio.

This excess of technology

does not make much sense

in a car where the sounds of the engine and the soft top are also present in the cabin

in fact the only time you can really enjoy the sound quality of your audio system,

it's when the engine is stopped.

Since we talk about the car radio, let's have a look on its antenna.

The Z3 has an apparent antenna located on the left rear fender.

Porsche opted for a much more discreet antenna

integrated into the windshield,

thus refining the design of the bodywork.

But en fact,

that's valid for the lucky ones who did not have the option "pre-equipment for the phone"

that is to say, that kind of small box to the right of the center console.

because in this case,

if you had a model from 1996 to 2000,

you ended up with a kind of antenna ersatz located at the top of the windshield.

whose aesthetic is ....

... not so good.

In case of small thirsts you will be surprised to find that the Z3 does not have cup holders,

which is rather odd for a model that was designed for the US market.

So, to correct this lack,

BMW created this accessory for the USA.

The Boxster has two removable cup holders

that it was necessary to unfold then to insert in the ventilation grid.

Since it was not cery convenient.

Porsche has commercialized a version with drawers on the American market,

then during the restyling of 2003,

they have serialized on all the Boxster

a retractable version much more practical.

Let's stay on practical aspects,

by now analyzing the storage

which are always useful to put caps, maps, GPS and notices.

Item 6: The storage spaces of the inside

On this point, apparently the Z3 is better than the Boxster

because it has a passenger-side glove box

The Boxster did not have one

but she will finally receive one the last two years of production

with the arrival of Phase 2 in 2003.

So having a glove box on the Z3 is a good thing,

the problem is that it is ridiculously small.

If you have a GPS that is not too thick,

you have a small chance of puting it inside.

I would be curious to see how they validate their ergonomic processes at BMW.

So, what are we testing today?

The glove box.

Validated!

Well, but what will do we do with that?

Slim...

it would be necessary to enlarge the glove box ...

No, it's too much work.

We'll put a little net here to tidy up.

But...

It's ugly.

It's not a problem, the driver will not see it.

But ... It's not going to bother the passenger's feet a bit?

yes, but it's not important

because the passenger is a woman.

Uh ... It's not a little macho?

Yes, completely ...

But we do not care!

It's a BMW: Bayerische Macho Wagon (Bavarian Macho car)

It's a car for men!

One might think that BMW's engineers finally realized that something was wrong,

since the Z3 sold in the USA

had a version of the glove box a little bigger than in Europe

in reality

if the design of the glove box has been reviewed

it is not to gain space,

but supposed to better protect passengers' legs in case of an accident

This American glove box model unfortunately has the double problem

to be less aesthetic, to creak

while offering minimal gain of space

which still do not allow to store in good conditions

the leather bloc containing the manual and the vehicle maintenance booklet

So,

on the American Z3 too, the side storage net was offered as an option.

On the early Boxster,

this leather bloc was stored in the pocket behind the back of the seat.

Since it was not always convenient to access,

in 2000, Porsche created a storage bin under the steering wheel

which will disappear in 2003

with the arrival of the glove box on Phases 2.

As a result, the pockets of the seat backs are released

which makes it possible to store flexible objects such as caps or scarves.

For objects that must remain easy to access

like bottles, scrapers, parking disks

or for fans of vintage stuff

CDs or paper road maps,

both roadster have in doors a storage bins.

Those of the Z3 are a little smaller and a little shallower than on the Boxster,

then, some objects a little too high can sometimes fall when you open the door.

Note also that on the Boxster

the armrest also serves as a cover,

which allows to hide these objects

giving a tidier and cleaner appearance to the cockpit

the small storage spaces of the Z3 located at the level of the handbrake and minimalist.

You can put at best: keys, a garage door remote

and a mobile phone.

The small storage spaces of the Boxster is better

since you have two much larger storage bins

located under the car radio.

You could even have optional CD dispenser drawers.

On the other hand, if you had a double DIN car radio,

you only had one storage bin left,

the other locations being occupied by the air conditioning controls unit.

For precious objects like:

sunglasses, GPS or the garage door remote control,

both manufacturers have compartments that can be locked

with the ignition key.

It will save you from having to close the roof every time you stop.

On the Z3, the key locks the glove box,

but also a set of two compartments,

including a particularly big one.

In comparison Boxster without glove box are much less convenient

Since the only compartment that can be locked

that just allows you to store a pair of sunglasses and a wallet.

Note that like the Z3,

the Boxster also had a storage compartment located behind the seats (optional).

Unlike the Z3 it could not be locked,

however, it had a much more direct access

because you did not have to switch the wind net like on the Z3

to access the storage by lifting the lid.

And since we speak about the storage,

Let's take a look at the trunk.

Item 7: The trunk

The trunk of the Z3 is very small

you really can not put a lot in it.

But, I have to admit it,

it is bigger than the boxster's trunk.

Except that the Boxster,

has another trunk in the front,

which makes it much more convenient than the Z3.

Especially on the latest models of Boxster,

because the opening of the trunk front and rear was done with the remote control of the car.

You will say:

"The practical aspect is not the priority when you buy a car with only two seats."

That is true !

But, being able to put luggage makes it possible to use this car

to go on long trips

and not just for short trips or walks.

To illustrate my point,

Here is the amount of luggage that can be put in a Boxster.

As we can see, you can go a away a week with two people.

Here is now what can be put in a Z3.

If you are going for a long rad trip, it is more delicate.

And that's why BMW offered as an option

a kit to install a luggage rack on the trunk.

The two trunks of the Boxster are not only useful for going on holiday.

This makes this car a very practical "daily car"

because you can easily put the shopping of the week for a family of four.

We can put the cold stuff in the front trunk

and since the rear trunk is located just above the engine block,

you can put the hot dishes

like for example pizzas,

like that, they stay at a good temperature.

I often told myself that pizza at home services

should seriously consider using this car as a delivery vehicle ;-)

and since we talk about temperature

let's take a look at the outdoor thermometer

Item 8: Thermometer and other gadgets

On the Boxster, the outdoor thermometer is standard

and the display is on the instrument cluster

On the other side, on the Z3, it was an option

and when you take that option,

the needle clock was replaced by a digital clock.

which only displayed the temperature within a few seconds

when it dropped below 37.5 ° F (3° C).

At this moment, a small "beep" sounds to warn you of the risk of ice.

So .... Maybein the 90's, having a digital clock was "elegant" and "modern",

but today,

it must be recognized that this rectangular screen in a round location

is very ugly.

So, I did replace this expensive "high tech" option

by standard needle version

because even if it does not have a thermometer,

she is still much more elegant.

Now let's talk about something less visible but very practical:

The Boxster is equipped with a timer

which turn off the lights inside the car and in the trunk after 2 hours,

even if you forgot to close a door or the trunk.

The Z3 does not have a timer,

but she also turn off the lights,

when she finished emptying the battery ...

Let's stay in the gadgets

evoking some elements present on the Boxster after 2000

and that the Z3 do not have.

there are:

the illuminated vanity mirrors,

the rain detector

or the central mirror that darkens at night

when someone lights you from behind with his full headlights.

By the way, speaking of headlights,

I would like to make a little parenthesis

on an element that is not present on any of these two young-timer:

daytime running lights.

Item 9: Daytime running lights

In some countries like Switzerland,

you must now turn on your headlights even in daylight

or then install daytime running lights.

On the Boxster, you have the choice between

put LED strips on the air vents of the bumper

or replace the original headlights with expensive aftermarket versions

with a modern design.

These two solutions have the disadvantage of moving away or distorting the original design of the car

which will not necessarily please purists.

The Z3 as a better choice

when you want to install daytime running lights,

because a manufacturer offers fog lamps with incorporated daytime running lights

that fit the car so well

that you could believe that it was like that when leaving the factory.

There are also kits or headlights like "Angel eyes",

unfortunately, they are not powerful enough to be considered as daytime running lights,.

I'm done with my parenthesis on the headlights,

let's move on to something else now.

Item 10: Maintenance and consumption

It must be admitted that so far the Z3 has had a little trouble getting out of the game

but rest assured, she will catch up in the home stretch.

First of all at the level of consumption:

In mixed use,

the basic Z3 1.8 L consumes an average of 9.2 L per 100 km

against 9.7 L for the basic Boxster 2.5 L

it's still half a liter of won 100 km

The counterpart is that it is less powerful 86 ch

but honestly,

do we really need more than 118 hp

to have a peaceful trip in a convertible?

The other big advantage of Z3

it is that its engine is much easier to access.

On the Boxster, to access the upper part of the engine,

it is necessary: ​​to dismount part of the roof

remove the storage bin,

then remove the carpet

and finally unscrew the metal plate that covers the upper part.

But it is not finished !

To access the front of the engine

where is the belt,

alternator,

the air conditioning compressor

or the water pump,

remove a metal plate behind the seats.

In both cases, it is long and not practical.

At least, on the Z3, there is a big hood

which allows do-it-yourselfers to easily access all the elements of the engine block.

We must still admit that we need more often a second trunk

than to access his engine block.

Especially since some mechanical elements of the Boxster are accessible from the trunk

for example at the front is the battery,

the washer fluid reservoir

and the brake fluid reservoir.

in the back trunk is the access to the oil tank cap

and coolant.

You can not talk about car maintenance without talking about the cost.

Instinctively, one would think that the Z3 is cheaper to repair than the Boxster.

In reality for routine maintenance,

wear parts such as: belts,

filters, candles or platelets

are not especially expensive.

The only difference is tires.

On the Boxster, they are a bit wider

so they are much more expensive.

about bodywork or cockpit parts

like: the commodos

switches,

the shifter

or the handles,

whether at Porsche or BMW

they are both very expensive,

especially the Z3 M

whose owners usually say that

the cost of specific parts is twice that of a normal Z3.

Fortunately, today on Internet

you can easily find used or compatible parts

for a reasonable price.

So, as long as you do not let your dealer make the maintenance,

you can afford one of these two roadsters

without necessarily breaking the bank.

And since these old mechanics are relatively simple

there are many things you can do yourself with basic tools.

The last advantage of the Z3 is precisely its price.

If we except the M version and the coupe,

the Z3 is on average much cheaper to buy than a Boxster.

The 1.8L and 1.9L four cylinders have enough power

but if you have enough money,

go for a 6-cylinder

especially the 2.8 L which offers a very good price / performance ratio.

About the Boxster

although it is more expensive than the Z3,,

you must keep in mind that the Boxster seems to have reached a floor price.

so it can be a good investment

if it is well maintained.

Well, we reviewed the technical aspect,

comfort,

the practical aspect,

and the price.

It's time to do a synthesis!

Conclusion:

Even without counting the points,

we realized during this video

that in use the 986 is more practical,

more comfortable

and safer than the Z3.

Then you will say to me:

"If the result is so cleart, why do you still have a Z3 in your garage?"

Well, if I did not sell my Z3

it's because the purchase of a roadster is above all a story of favorites.

It's not like buying a minivan or an SUV,

the rationality does not necessarily have its place.

The Z3 has a very different design from the Boxster,

but I must recognize that they are both beautiful

and when you ride it with your hair in the wind,

This is pure happiness !

I sincerely hope that this little comparison will have helped you to make your choice

because personally

I did not make it...

See you soon !
