As Promised...Pictures!

Took her for a brisk drive through some country lanes today, even without exceeding 5000rpm (too many times anyway!) she is a bundle of joy. Having never test driven one (as I am under 25...never driven any Porsche before actually) I was wholely unaware of what to expect, I could only compare to the Lotus Exige and Vauxhall VX220 (and my fathers old Mitsu Evo V before that). The Vauxhall and Lotus inspire confidence at every turn, are light and chuckable and in the right conditions incredibly fast....I had doubted the Caymans ability to match these cars for sheer cornering ability, but even at seven tenths this thing this dispelling any fears. Composed in the bends, brisk in and out and sublimely quick inbetween, I am relishing the torque (and the note) the Loti's Toyota 4 pot lacked.

Anyway I'll stop waffling.....here you go!





















There are many more so when you get bored I'll upload a few others

Glad to hear you're all enjoying the pictures here is the full spec for those interested...

Basalt Black Metallic
Full Leather
Top Tinted windscreen
19' Sport Design Wheels
Porsche Crested wheel Centres
Bi Xenon Lights
Rear Park Assistance
Rear Wiper
Auto dimming mirrors & rain sensor
PASM
Climate control
Heated seats
3 spoke sports wheel
PCM
Telephone
Bose Surround System.

The car is pretty filthy after todays drive, the wing mirrors are covered in brake dust, as are the wheels. The ABS and traction control have both kicked in today, I did find the ABS a little intrusive but I'll get used to it....the traction control,well I didnt need it on the Lotus or the VX but I dont think I will be turning it off in a hurry either. Did notice the yellow light flicker a couple of times

Hi Ramiel the interior is Black but i think the shots came out a little overexposed. RedRocket, there was a red Cayman in the dealership when I picked it up and it looked stunnnnning..aside from the roofrack and skis!
Rod, the mats are on the spec sheet but didnt arrive in time for delivery so they are on backorder, as are the Porsche keyrings, icing on the cake eh

A few more.....















Enjoy!!

Regards, Anthony

The black and white really shows off the lines doesn't it?
