Post here Caymans you see (or own) in Vancouver, a beautiful city!

Traveling for business this week in Vancouver, BC. Saw a black or midnight blue (sorry it was at night) Cayman S with Carerra Classic wheels parked across the street from my hotel (Sheraton Downtown Vancouver). I love those wheels! Whose car is this?

Cayman sightings in Vancouver is rare. In the past year, no more than 6 - 8, & likely some of them could be the same car? Please identify yourself by posting here if you are a Cayman owner. Post some pics too.
Thanks in advance

I envy you (Ploc) living in Vancouver. I spent three weeks on business there a few years ago and it was amazing. I think its my third favorite city in the world.

Thanks, smounic. Vancouver is pretty nice, but rain a bit too much! If you ever come out this way, PM me in advance for a get together. Now, i have to ask, if Vancouver is your 3rd favorite city, what's the first two?
For me, my favorite is NY City, Paris, France & Los Angeles. (Tokyo & Hong Kong follows)

Ploc36, thanks! I'll make sure to do that next time I'm in town. Won't be much of a Cayman meeting though 'cause I won't have my CS with me.

I agree with smounic that Vancouver is a very nice city. Too bad it rained so much this week. I was hoping to drive (in my rental) to Whistler for fun but the weather just wouldn't cooperate.

I grew up in New Orleans, so I'm pretty used to regular showers. I found it very similar, albiet cooler than New Orleans.

My favorite cities in order are:

1) Hong Kong
2) San Francisco
3) Vancouver, BC

Hong Kong reminds me of San Francisco, with a good bit of New York mixed in. It is a breathtaking place, with such variety. San Francisco is a great town, but the earthquakes and the cost keep me away. Memphis is an awfully cheap place to live in comparison. Finally, if Vancouver was in the US, I would move there tomorrow without thinking twice. I didn't find the cost as high as SFO and it was very beautiful.

I plan to take a trip back to Vancouver for vacation and I'll be able to show my wife why I liked it so much. I'll let you know when we make it out there.

Ploc36,

I also have a black CS. I also see a blue CS in the PCA-CWR. I will be attending the DE in mission on May.

Come out for autoX or BBC.

Cheers

lawrence: Great that you will be attending the DE in Mission, unfortunately, i will not be able to attend. I am trying to get a Caymen Zone 6 meeting together for the month of June, will keep you posted once i have more details.

Please post pics & register your car, also love to see some pics of the DE.
Have a GREAT weekend, it's going to be a sunny day tomorrow & Sunday, enjoy your ride!

In the year since I've been looking I probably spotted about 5 or 6 Caymans (well not counting the Cayman meet =)).

From the boutique dealer I imported mine through I was there when another guy bought a black CS they were selling a couple of months ago. I also spotted a silver 2.7 parked behind Taylor's Crossing restaurant in north van a few months back.

I think with our high dollar a lot more Caymans are coming into the area now, certainly see a fair number listed for sale locally. It's too bad as I kind of liked the fact that they weren't that common around here =).

Great to hear you got your Cayman! Please post pics for all to enjoy. I m trying to arrange a meet sometime in March, make sure you attend to show off your ride.
