Looks a bit less like a Porsche than most of them. Which is good for me. Enjoy

I also like yellow and white, but when it's your own money and those two colours will be harder to sell, it puts you off the idea. Black is cool, but a real pain to keep spotless and I ruled it out

Bigfecker, what sort of wagon, some sort of 7.5 tonner or transit?


Be drinking again ade?



Wad, didn't get much in the way of freebies, full tank of juice, umbrella, flash metal business card holder, key ring, cap. All Porsche branded gear. Not even free mats.

Very nice mate - I'm looking forward to placing an order in June/July so that I can take delivery at the beginning of Jan and get the 07 spec car.

The Seal Grey is a weird one for me - every time I see it I change my mind whether I like it or not. I think I'm going to go with the GT Silver with the Carerra Sport wheels as they match up.

Do Porsches like to run on 95 Octane, or like the S do they prefer 97?

Super by preferance but less of a noticable difference (compared to the S) when running on 95RON.

Nice car! Congrats.

Great write up too.

The local dealer has got one in white with red wheels. Looks amazing.

I love the new 911s in white too. There is one in this months top gear. Think I want one!

What was your wait time (was it shorter than quoted) as I read the Cayman has been a bit of a disaster saleswise (but not depreciation wise as porsche know how to keep the prices up) so they are looking as RS / GT versions already?
