Default My new run about !!! More Pics Added
I picked it up Friday morning from the dealership in Camberidge, is a really nice drive fast enough and very comforatble, will post more pictures up later for those interested, not a bad little birthday present

For those not in the know it is a Cayman S and one of very few with an Aero Kit, she has 19" Carrera wheels in color matched to the car, full Porsche Comms Management which includes Sat Nav, Porsche Telephone intergration, Bose Surround Sound package, Short Shift gear change, Xenon Lights, Partial Leather seats, Alum extiour pack, color matched seat belts (beleive me they are extra!)

I really like the Caymens! I imagine they drive great and would be awesome if you stuck in a 911 turbo engine

Mike knows why i never got the GT2 the other half has to drive it also as it is her car to, she hated driving the Evo after l fitted the Autronic so the last thing she wanted was a raw rear wheel drive car like that, how ever i will be test driving a Turbo soon but ultimately want something with a Prancing horse on the bonnet

Nick the Evo 6 will hopefully come early part of next year as a play thing for me, this is to keep the other half happy and give me something to drive in Italy,

Dan you know the Ferrari will be coming,

I was going to call you, guess the Evo wont need a valet just yet will give you a call when this needs doing

cheers mike

More like 235 mate! Glad you throughly researched into your new car

Still more than fast enough for the road and track More power than a Honda NSX don't forget and everyone thinks they are supercars!

Well considering NSX's are acknowledged as being 280PS (276bhp), how is your figure of 235 MORE than that? .
