Croctoberfest 2008

It would have been great to have the Remus in the mix for the exhaust shoot out. You will most certainly have to represent next time!

Croctoberfest was a most awesome time, and I hope to be able to make the next one as well. We met so many great folks and had such fun at the all the events, it's now on the "must attend if at all possible" list for sure.

Not to change references, but everyone knows not to travel without a towel! And don't panic!

Doctor who?

Okay - it's pretty clear how out of touch I am, that I had to Google several of your obscure (to me) references to figure out what the heck you were talking about.

Anyway, if you have a Tardis Key, why do you need a Cayman?

i knew there was logic behind it!

spare tire - check
spare tire kit - check
oil - check
tire gage - check
umbrella - check
flares - check
emergency blanket - check
astronaut ice cream - check
radiophonic driving music - check
Dalek repellent - check
universal language dictionary - check
x-long knit scarf - check
Tardis key copy - check

you are going to run out of "trunk" space!

Spare Tire for Cayman S

I am most aware of the Porsche roadside assistance. But call me paranoid but I beleive in a gent named Murphy.

I think it might be a good $200-300 investment even if I don't use it.

And yes there are holes in cell phone coverage in Virginia, especially near the mountains where the good twisty roads are.

Well, I can't speak for Ed - but whenever I travel beyond the urban environs in my car (which is pretty much the rest of Kansas outside Wichita ), I just feel more secure having a spare with me for worst case scenarios (e.g. no phone or connection, tire damage too great for the goop/inflator option, etc.).

My philosophy is sort of a corollary of Murphy's law - that is: if I carry it, I will never need it.

Ed:
Good advice from Elise on checking the Classifieds here also, since there have been a couple sold there. You might consider posting a "WTB" (want to buy) ad there also.

Spare Tire for Cayman S

Checked ebay?

If you want one of the Vredenstein collapsible spares, you probably will have to order thru a dealer - you might also check with Suncoast (sponsor) to see if you can get a better price. They are expensive, but I believe it includes the jack and tools in the price.

A less expensive solution is to check on ebay regularly for "Porsche Spare Tire". I have only seen one Vredenstein spare auctioned off (and it went for about the retail price), but you can find the older 17" 986 Continental donut spares fairly frequently, and they will fit the Cayman S (that's where I bought mine). They generally go for between $100 and $250 depending on the condition and whether they include all the tools, jack and cover.

what do you need a spare tire for? do you travel out of cell-phone range lots?
