If you don’t need the E89’s money how about keeping it for general use and using the 718 for fun times only..?

I don't need the E89 money, however we have 3 cars between my wife and I guess I was putting my sensible hat on. I will think long and hard before I come to a final decision :thumbsup:

If my new business venture does well that’s my plan too Boyo, have the inbound G29 for general and long distance use and my aim is a Boxy 718 GTS in two years time for fun only.

Fingers mega crossed....! :lol:

Managed to make the most of this beautiful weather and gave the Cayman a thorough going over. Gentian blue is a heck of a colour in full sunlight.

Amazing, although the Z4 forum, this has to be one of the best cars on the forum! Love it.

Some guys on the Pistonheads Boxster/Cayman forum have said there is little chance of securing a new build slot this year for either model. What's your OPC saying. Are you planning on Manual or PDK.

I went to speculate on one back in November and Porsche Kendal had two slots.

Although fabulous cars, 75k... decided they were too much so going to keep the 2 car combo.

I think a 981 GT4 will be in my future instead.

That interior looks amazing. Alcantara everywhere! Looks so luxurious- everyone must wash their hands before they get in! ha ha.
