My NEW CAR its another PORSCHE!!!!

I only bought my 986 S on August the 1st but after a short fling in which i have fallen in love with the Porsche lifestyle and brand. Abit of buisness came in front of me and i had no option but to grab it with both hands.

I have bought a (july) 07 Porsche Cayman has 10k on the clock and heaps of options on it, i have yet to check the extras as i dont know the standard spec. i will update as i learn, or if you ask me has it got something then i can answer( it doesnt have satnav ) i paid slighty over £35000 GBP 70000 USD

has : Sports Exhaust, 19" wheels, different seats(dont know type), different suspension (again dont have details) heated seats, PSM, rear wiper thats all i noticed as i only collected it (from my Dad) at 7 last night.






I plan to fit the wheels of my current 986S it also needs a good clean so that is sunday sorted.
Anyway i would love to stay part of this forum as i cant be bothered starting again somewhere else, i hope that is not a problem. And im sure the things i have with the Cayman are the same as people and the 987 boxster.
Would love to get some feedback on my decision.

James

P.s

My Dads Design Edition Cayman S arrived in Porsche today he gets it on friday, its covered in sticky gunk so will update photos at a later date.





Thanks

Very nice, dude!

Man, the more I see the PD Cayman S the more I like it. Hmmm.....

Looks great. The Cayman is my favorite current production Porsche. I believe it is the new flagship Porsche now. They just haven't told the 911 guys yet. Anyway a hardtop is probably more practical in Aberdeen Scotland... but we don't buy a Porsche because it is practical do we.

TuChat, I also think you are correct with the cayman, it looks nicer than the 911 imho when parked beside each other and when you sit in it your seating position is lower than a 911 and boxster which makes it feel more of a solid ride.

I love soft tops look at my car list mylast 4 have been cabrolets. I will keep the caymen till may/june then either get a newer Box S or 996 C4S cab or even Ferrari 355 spider depends on my mood at the time.

I have a few clients who are 911 guys through and through and 3 of 5 are changing to Caymens.

Possibly the standard c2 c4 are going to be oblique in the future.

I like both of those! Congrats!
But are those racing stripes on the black one, sort of out of place on such a nice car.
