Why This Porsche Is Destined To Die

[@MrKenn93]

Great to finally have longer length videos and what a way to start! Bittersweet viewing for a 987.2 owner, this is the car that started it all.

[@CandyShowroom]

Thank you! Next week’s video is longer and slicker, I’ve learnt a lot making this one 🫣

[@jacobbeattie650]

2am on Monday morning here in Western Australia. Gonna have to tell the boss I’ll be late for work because of this!

[@paulkazzer]

Same just before sunrise in Sydney. Stay up for it or wake up early? Yeah stay up!

[@CandyShowroom]

Hopefully it’ll be worth it 😅 if not, next week’s i3 video will be!

[@laurentaudibert9632]

Finally! I knew it would be brilliant and it really is! So much depth, kindness for an unloved car. Looking forward to what’s to come.

[@CandyShowroom]

Thank you mate!

[@carsonsmith9852]

This felt like I'm watching an episode of the old Top Gear. Loved the video! This is exactly the type of content I want to watch and hopefully create my own version soon!

[@Dav1dandcars]

After scrolling through your Videos days on end on IG, it's nice to see that you have started with KZbin! The Boxter is definitely underrated and doesn't deserve all the hate it gets. Great Video overall, can't wait for the next one!!

[@CandyShowroom]

Thank you!! Can’t wait to share the next video already (and the ones after! Going to be a fun and busy year)

[@jason20122]

love the camera angle at 7:40 much love from LA

[@szymonp7309]

ive been watching and reading your posts since the early days of micol, its great to see the progress!! storytelling that rekindles my fondness of cars every single time, stoked for the next one

[@gerardpolidano]

Well done on your first video! One of my favourite automotive content creators, looking forward to watching you grow the channel and thanks for putting out quality work we want to watch!

[@tonisukles858]

Love the narrative and the structure of this. Your short form content always left me wanting more, so I’m really happy to see the longer format. Rest in peace Boxster, may your parts serve your siblings well.

[@Lucas_Barros_C]

you never disappoint Fidowicz, I was never so excited for a youtube video drop. Amazing content as always !!

[@jmsoncars]

Epic first vid team Candy! Looking forward to more

[@exc911ence_channel]

Labours of love rarely make financial sense, but when a car endears itself to you in the way that you say that this Boxster has, you have to look past the money and into your heart. It's like your family pet, in a way. If your dog gets sick, you could replace it for a few dollars, or perhaps even for free, but instead you happily pay far more to the veterinarian to nurse your best friend back to health so you can enjoy many more years together. This Boxster is that dog. Don't put it down. Great first video, by the way. Thanks to the algorithm for the suggestion. Subscribed.

[@omsimracing]

So happy to see you delve into longer form videos, this was fantastic and I can’t wait for more!

[@augustortiz]

One of my favorite videos ever, I’m glad KZbin recommended it. My first car was a 2.5 in the same shade of silver with a 5 speed. It will forever hold a special place in my heart and even after all these years and driving many other cars, this thing still remains at the top of the most satisfying driving experiences ever to own/drive. Earned a sub for sure.

[@thewolfofwikipedia3106]

Great first video! Just bought my first boxster, 986 2.7 liter like yours. 86k miles and only a few issues so far (coolant pump leak, RMS, both slow), so hoping it has a good bit of life in her! Really is an amazing car, my first manual as well (American). May yours rest in peace.

[@ze30non15]

So glad you finally made a review on KZbin ! Amazing job I love the tone and the stories you shared about how special THIS 986 is special to you. That’s the kind of car reviews I wish were more present on KZbin. I’ve been a long time follower of your insta page (we’ve even met at Le Mans Classic a couple years ago), can’t wait to see what you have prepared next for us petrolheads over here on your channel

[@2wyldrc195]

Came from instagram - and love this type of content. Great video!!!

[@Toby-ox9pt]

Good to see you on KZbin, your instagram content is fantastic and now it’s a longer format it’s even better 😊

[@rundtombiler]

The start of something big... I myself am the lucky owner of a Boxster 986 2.7 and I have to agree with you on all your points. Fantastic video.

[@yeshwantdasari2075]

We making it into the KZbinr space with this one! Good luck! -a follower since the the early MICOL days :)

[@CandyShowroom]

Shout out Micol massive!

[@yeshwantdasari2075]

We never forget 🫡

[@paulkazzer]

Great premier. One tiny point, is the narration a little faster than the Ig TT videos? Your voice seems a little higher and speaking a little quicker. The calm gentle style of your voice over is a trademark worth keeping. Could be my old ears. Many thanks Michal.

[@Michael-b9p4w]

Keep the coming, love these videos. The content, style, video and presenting style are fantastic

[@butl4665]

Your Instagram content is very good, but this longer form really shows your talent as a presenter and producer. Keep it up!

[@Alex770485]

Great video, very good editing and storytelling! Amazing effort! Greetings from Bulgaria!

[@123jaydonjessica]

That was really good. I stopped watching tiktok for awhile and i am glad your style of video is back!

[@GabrielGarcia-kx1qz]

For me personally KZbin has been dead but after seeing you make a channel. I’m back on it, great job on tik tok I love your videos. Cheers from the states.

[@clubquay]

Loved watching this. Great shots, use of words and opinions. Keep them coming!

[@connerkoiking]

This is an absolutely amazing quality video. Its so wonderful seeing this as your first video on this channel. You really remind me of Jeremy Clarkson when im going through the videos on his old little camera with the low pixel rate, just younger with a better camera lol.

[@grantreill1966]

so ready to get my heart wrenched out by how amazing this car is and why it’s destined to die

[@whattherichardd]

Haven't enjoyed a car review as much as this since the good old days of top gear - keep it up!

[@otmotivealt8522]

Finally long form content. This is fantastic

[@carexplorers]

This is brilliant car journalism! Have been following you on other platforms for a while, hope to see a longer video of the E38 as well. You are a true inspiration, lets see how the content on my channel will look like in a years time...

[@bentleycreative]

great first video, looking forward to see whats coming next

[@oscarcook6572]

This is bloody excellent. So good to have some long form candy content - even better to start on a Boxster.

[@tigran86]

Yes! Can’t wait to see the move into more long form for you guys through 2025. Your short form videos are absolutely perfect 👌

[@polotenchik23]

so great to see you on youtube!

[@jackworthington3215]

Great video, praying mine makes it past 16000 as I love driving it, especially being 18

[@michaelclifford7462]

Great video, love the stuff, keep it up

[@khymia27]

Oh the you tube channel is here - and I'm here for it!!

[@Thomas-lz3wh]

Awesome video - start of something special here - keep down to earth and you’ll fly. Still seems terrible it’s being scrapped - experience tells me there’s always a better value option to fix up/keep going a car like this and values will rise. The issue is if everything gets left over time, when items should be fixed and the overall cost becomes scary. I bet if this was put away for 12-24 months you’d be getting it back to the road?

[@sundayvetiver]

This gives me crazy early 2000s British car show nostalgia. Fifth Gear vibes or the first few years of the rebooted Top Gear

[@AliAkbar-qq1nd]

Great quality vid mate

[@nathanmete199]

So good 🤌🏼 watching this from Sydney, Australia and worth the early start mate. Well done! 👏🏼

[@andregalvao5278]

I think the Boxster is a perfect Porsche, from the beginning they will teach you how to be a better driver, take care of the car among other things... I've never driven a Boxster, but I hope to drive one soon... It's sad to be the end of this Boxster, but its purpose was carried out successfully! Btw another great video Mike! 👏

[@kieran7767]

Great video. Came from the tiktok. Big fan!!

[@Max_and_cars]

This is just as good as I thought it would be convincing me even more to make the jump to long form the best type of car content

[@josephburridge4126]

Here before this channel becomes one of the biggest in the motoring world

[@liamhodgkinson5286]

Loved this enjoyed all the short form content this is great looking forward to the next one be good to see some of your 728

[@WiimanX2]

They are severely underrated. I bought one for cheap and have spent far more than the value of the car getting it back to good condition. Lots of little niggles that just come with age and some boxster woes but it really is the best value for money. I do find the front end a little floaty/light though. That flat 6 just sounds glorious, the intake behind the ear is magnificent.

[@joshuautos]

Another Candy masterpiece, but this time it’s longform. What’s not to love?

[@125_will8]

Man this has all the marque’s of peak top gear car segments but with a nice and refreshing bit of extra flare and a bit more factuality, top drawer!!!

[@RzogL]

If the chassis is intact and the engine hasn't reached the point where it needs a rebuild to avoid catastrophic failure, it would be a shame to break a runner like this one for spares. Mine's a Meridian Metallic 3.2 manual on 155k. Over the years I have spent multiples of what the car is worth in upgrades and repairs, knowing full well that doing so is "uneconomical". Call it a "rolling restoration" which provides a true Porsche experience on the right day on the right road, if all the necessary bits are working. You could just remove your faulty roof mechasism and raise or lower it manually, MX-5 style, until the funds are ever there to do a full repair.

[@Tomdee90]

Brilliant pal. Have you sent the bbc a link on the off chance they want to resurrect top gear?

[@benoost5614]

I really loved this video, such a good watch

[@Br1anuk]

Brilliant video. Logged on to KZbin and had the choice of watching this or Mat Armstrong start the engine on his GT3. Watched this first and wasn't disappointed. Why don't you start a second less formal channel for a midweek catch-up?

[@ActionM]

Nice video !

[@Fxnded]

Boxster value after this video 📈

[@TheOldskool97]

No 6N content, not having it

[@SidNorth]

The Boxster is a real drivers car 👌🏽 And they mean a lot to the right driver 😎 Cracking video

[@CandyShowroom]

Thank you Sid, would love to try and catch you down a B lane in one 😉

[@n0vast0rm]

The headlights have not grown on me so far, and I doubt they ever will, so (sadly?) I still see what all the fuss was about

[@joshuautos]

2025 just got so much better 🙏

[@benjaminwoc]

My disappointment this morning when I thought this premiered last night 😢

[@CandyShowroom]

I’ll be aiming for a Sunday 18:00 upload whenever I can in the future 😉

[@stonecoldsaahil1]

so excited!!!

[@StA1KER1]

@candyshowroom giving the people want they want! Long format

[@WAYMOEuk]

10/10 👏🏻

[@stms4411]

Have owned a boxster and 3 Mx-5s……price independent they are a formidable alternative…..boxster is better in some fairly obvious ways but the Mx-5 is much more playful and flingable. If you want to consider “value”, it’s not even close. The Mx-5 feels almost free in comparison to buy and run.

[@nathandamcevski2677]

👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

[@piotrg5]

❤

[@drew699]

986 is a great car but a 2.7 is just too slow at 0 to 60 in 6.5. The 2.7 is under powered. The car is too heavy & too much of a tourer rather than a real sportscar.

[@filipe2444]

almost first
