Taking mine off its vent mounting takes 5 seconds and hiding the wiring on the floor is far easier than mucking around putting it in the glove box.

Where are the arrows on the arm and chassis member? I cannot see it in the picture.

Likewise, I'm conscious of the capability of the car to mask my inadequacies which is why I'm lucky to get to drive other more difficult things too. The main point was about amount of power, rather than chassis capability. It's possible that there's a 600bhp car out there that is as easy to drive as a Boxster, but ultimately, the 600bhp is going to bite you much worse than 250. That doesn't mean 600 can't be fun - for 5 minutes, or 5 hours.
Other than the need for restraint, to stop you parking yourself in the scenery, I've found that the very high powered cars I've driven (I think I've only gone over the 600 bhp figure once) have been as docile as a Boxster.
Now put a Boxster on 15" rims and van tyres, then it'd be proper fun. Cue wistful remembrance of a Suzuki Supercarry van...
