Hi folks, rather excited as I've just been told I'm being sent a Cayman whilst mine has a scratch repaired after some dickhead reversed into it.

An 08 Cayman (non-S) for 3 days.. I shall post pics and some thoughts after I've used the tyres and got some Youtube donuts ! :driving:
 
accident management company appointed by my insurer as i was completely blameless. like for like replacement based on engine size 8)

wont post more details until ive got the keys :thumbsup:
 
Has nothing to do with the insurance company. It is the accident management company that does that and charges the guilty party's insurance for the pleasure.

That is how a £100 scratch can turn into a £3000 claim as the cost for the replacement car for a few days can be astranomical.
 
If its anything like the 3.4 boxster S i drove then you should find it fun and go round corners like its on rails.

That said i've only ever been a passenger in a Z4M - would like to drive one to compare :thumbsup:

You'll love it for a couple of hours. Then you'll miss the raw driver input and feeling that you have to try to make an M go quickly. Trust me, i've had more Porsches than most people (12!). I had a Cayman S for the weekend when they first came out and was numb within an hour. Way too good a chassis to really exploit on UK roads therefore boring and unchallenging to drive. 993s however are altogether different....... :driving:
 
Also you may notice is how much harder you need to shove the brake pedal, quite unnerving at first if you used to a highly servo'ed setup.

I agree with the above, the boxster S was very flattering of an average driver and could take country lanes at silly cornering speeds - lots of grip to be had and very good feedback from the steering compared to my z4 with electric steering.
