CJ,
This noise you have for 1.5 seconds is common on a number of european cars ( Mercedes, porsche, VW....)
It is the bucket style tappets ( lifters). My '99 boxster 27,000 miles and well maintained does this noise exactly as yours does. 1.5 seconds and only if sitting all night or more than a few hours after a full drive in the morning, like going out to lunch from work. But, no noise from restaurant after sitting for less than 30 minutes. This noise drives me crazy, sounds like it is killing the engine!
Nothing you can do about it.
