This is my other half’s car. The amount of compliments she gets when out and about is unreal.

Very nice Car - I ummed & aahed between a Cayman S & a Z4MC back 3 years ago - but I struggled to find the right Cayman, and when my Z4MC came up I couldn't resist! I really wanted one with the LSD but they seem to be quite rare, and getting the rest of the spec to align as well was proving quite challenging!
Enjoy the new one, shame the M is going - it's a stunner too!

Thanks for all the comments, very much appreciated. The green is getting a better reception than I expected

Very nice also, I've been thinking about changing the side graphics to what you have. I'll need to have a think about that.mr.tourette wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 10:20 pm Great choice, love the colour.. those wheels are tasty too Not long joined the Porker club myself

Cheers, yes I'm in that area. Most of my cars end up coming from down South somewhere, much more choiceOffshore-Monkey wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 10:42 pm Love the colour pal and the proper seats did a similar journey couple of years back picking a C63 up from Sunningdale you must be near Aberdeenshire then ?

I was the same as you, couldn't decide which one, but a good Z4MC came up first and that was that.
If this Cayman hadn't turned out with this spec I would've been very happy to keep the Z4M, but as you say a Cayman with all this bits on it are scarce, was a no brainer to at least try and buy it.
However, I loved having the Z4M. Such a raw car, fantastic noise and great one off looks. I may end up with another in the future, it's a unique experience.
By the way, the Z has gone already, really nice guy took it away on Sunday to add to his growing collection. It was a car he'd always wanted, once he saw the condition, that was it. I was sorry to see it go, but happy that it's going to a good new owner and fairly local so I'll hopefully get to see it now and again.

It’s called Viper Green. A £2K special order paint when the car was new apparently. I’ve never seen another in this colour and I must admit I’ve never seen a Porsche in that colour too. Looks great in my opinion.
Looks awesome, I've never seen a TT in that colour, do you know what it's called?

I love that colour on your Cayman.
But then I love orange Porsches too! There is too much silver/grey/black around these days.

It's all a bit confusing, and it depends who you ask.
My car was advertised as Viper green, both when I bought it recently and from an older ad I found. However, from what I've read Viper green is the name for an older paint that Porsche used some time ago. The paint code on mine seems to equate to Porsche RS green, and to add to the confusion Porsche have renamed it to simply "Green" or gruen in German.
The paint code in mine is 2D8, would be interesting so see what code your wife's car has, in a TT I think it's is in the boot?
Here's mine.
