Probably there is a difference in dates, with Millbrook being earlier. When I went up to Millbrook last month (and Trashed their TipTronic Cayman......) the instructor advised that they were getting a Porsche only Porsche GB test area a little further north - He said it would not be as good / varied terrain and much smaller.......... I would go for Millbrook, But I dare not show my face there again!
I went to Millbrook and it was great fun; buzzed around the oval at 130; had fun on the 1 mile straight and loved the alpine circuit despite being quite rubbish at it.
Dealer rang me to say final confirmation letter of spec in post, mine is due some time in June as well, was wondering about the PDE.
I know what you mean about how do we pass the time till then, for the moment I am squeezing every day as a top down day in my S2000 and until its sold to help cover the Cayman S cost.
John H - thanks - interested to hear how you get on Long trip down for you!
Starlight - sounds like ours will be built around the same time, let's hope that they are having a good month! I guess that I will embarass myself for the next few months by hanging around a couple of dealers and obsessing on this site.
Karel, read about your experiences at Millbrook - sounds like you had a lucky escape.

Nice Blog…………..but you’ve confused me a little.
When you go into your Left Foot Braking……………..I can’t do it, in my car (fly by wire throttle and all that) it just wont allow it !!
I've had similar issues with left foot braking when trying to balance the car on the brakes will still giving a little throttle, justs cuts out - like the PSM doesn't like it. Only dabbled in mine but maybe I need to try with Sport engaged and/or PSM off? But on the road I guess I don't need to really do it??
Nice write up - I never got around to doing my PDE within the allocated year.
PSM - Porsche Stability Management
While it can’t overcome the laws of physics, the revolutionary Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system does lend an added degree of balance and control to the Cayman’s mid-engine driving dynamics, inspiring surefooted confidence in corners and extreme situations.
A standard feature on the Cayman and Cayman S, PSM continuously monitors steering input, road speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration to calculate the actual direction of travel. If the car begins to steer off line, PSM instantly intervenes with precision brake inputs on individual wheels to help bring the car back onto the driver’s intended path.
If braking alone isn’t enough to correct the vehicle’s cornering line, PSM then calls on the Cayman’s engine management system, adjusting engine output as needed to help stabilize handling. PSM can also compensate in an instant for mid-corner changes in load resulting from deceleration or braking. When Sport mode is selected with the optional Sport Chrono Package, PSM’s threshold for intervention is raised, allowing for greater driver involvement. If you prefer driving without automatic PSM assistance, the system can be set to standby at any time. In this case, it will only intervene under heavy braking, where both front wheels exceed the ABS threshold.
For all of its technical ability, PSM goes virtually unnoticed in everyday driving situations, preserving the Cayman’s natural agility.

Call me stupid, but your tag says "Cayman S Delivered July 06"????
Doesn't that leave you another few months to squeeze it in?

Discussion for members in the UK & Ireland, local events, etc.
(Not ready until June, how can I wait?
), and (very swiftly) I have received the invitation to the PDE.
until its sold to help cover the Cayman S cost.
