I agree csl wheels and lowering improves the aesthetics but I struggle to see the improvement the aero skirts make. Maybe seeing them in the flesh would help?!

Yeah I'm another lover of the aero skirts, Z looks unfinished without them imo.

Please tell me you got a 911 930, id accept 993 :D
Like bmws Z4M, they were the last of the REAL drivers cars.
A newer Porsche is like comparing precision engineering to a hammer :D
As I said, everyone to their own. I would love a 930.

981 Cayman is a wonderful car to drive and listen to. Goes round corners like nothing I have ever been in. Still a fairly comfortable car on a long run too, so I am struggling to fault it.

Don’t worry, the worst words are saved for those who know each other the most... & for those ex-roadys who’ve gone Coupe... or visa versa

Personally I think it's a little too narrow, should be another 6in wider, it's too small and feminine as it is. Straight on from behind it's not a good looking car, but the 3/4 angle is a nice look.

The cars that "got me" have always been:

AC Cobra Coupe
TVR Griffith
Lotus Elise Mk2
TVR Tuscan Mk1
BMW Z4C/Z4MC

I've been lucky enough to own 3 of those, in my short time driving.

Agree on your list of nice looking coupes.

I like the Z4MC, Solstice coupe, Jensen Interceptor and the Jamaican shape. Still own all four.

Nice collection OP! Isn't that the Fibrefab Jamaican? Have you got any new pics of it?

Lovely! I saw a few Solstices in Canada when I went there for a holiday. We don't really get them here in the UK :( The Interceptor is just great!
