Knew you couldn’t stay out of a soft top for long, looks lovely , enjoy many happy miles in it
Pretty much my sentiment Its a lot of fun driven hard and you get the most out the engine note too, it showed an indicated 100 flat out in 3rd at 7.5k revs (on my favourite private road of course) I'm sure the same in the S would be another 15 or 20 mph, you certainly couldnt drive the S as hard on uk roads9designs said:

There is something about Guards Red. It just seems that everyone is looking at you or wants to comment on the car
I hope you enjoy it

Looks lovely that, how do you find the engine? I think it’s a brilliant bit of kit and doesn’t deserve the negativity surrounding it.
Thanks buddy, yours looks fantastic, those are the exact wheels I am after getting next year they were very expensive option when new.. about 3.5k from what I've seen, believe they were standard on your gtsNumber5 said:Welcome to the club Mr T.

Have to admit Guards Red was not really my first choice colour, I thought it a bit "in your face"
but the car was best condition/service history/spec Id seen in my budget and its definitely growing on me after sticking with more subtle colour for the last 20 odd yearsI went from a nice low mileage, manual 987.2 to my current ZM. I found the Cayman S too capable. It made you want to drive like you knew you were not waking up the next day. It was a way better car than my driving skills. I can understand the boxster choice if you wanted a bit of the same feel. I changed to the Z4M roadster as I thought I would get a similar sort of feeling at a lower speed. What I got was a completely different experience that was (I don't want to describe it as rougher) giving more thrill way less down the death range.
That is a very apt description Trav, driving the Cayman is like driving with a little devil on your shoulder constantly egging you on to drive like a twuntTrav said:
.. it can be a lot of fun when you are in the mood for it but its so focused you cant just have a regular commute to work or a sunny day cruise out with the missus, the 981 boxster seems to be able to do both with ease
