Tyson987 Posted 19April, 2018 Report Share Posted 19April, 2018 Hi guys. I am new to the forum. Just purchased my first Porsche. 2009 Cayman 987.2 Base. Not many options ticked. 21000kms, 6 speed manual. Getting it freighted from WA to Adelaide over the next fortnight. Spent most my years so far in Renault Sports, Alfa’s and recently a ND Miata (currently selling). Been contributing to Ozrenaultsport forum for quite some time. I look forward to being apart of the forum here also. And maybe catch up with the Adelaide community in the future. Cheers!

I wish the powers that be would jump on to it and give it more air time. The lack of airtime at the GP was BS for the fans. You're having a pretty good year so far. Good luck with the rest of it Go Walkinshaw... 7 minutes ago, Fraser930 said: Yeah 650S GT3. Race in Australian GT Championship Oh yeah, the Turbo looks awesome by the way ha ha.

I bought it from a chap in Sydney. FSH with a few minor blemishes in the paint (reasonable though for a 15 yr old car). It’s black and other than the optional 18’s fitted and the obligatory IMS upgrade, it is bog stock. firstone and Taffy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxster987 Posted 1July, 2018 Report Share Posted 1July, 2018 Hi, I'm new here and new to Porsches having very recently made the transition from other German marques. My car is a fairly basic 2007/8 987 Tiptronic Boxster S with 48000km on the clock. I use it for daily transport and drive around 60km a day on highways and major roads. It was a private sale and seems to have been very well looked after with the Southport Porsche dealership performing a pre-purchase inspection and giving it a clean bill of health. I'm enjoying my ownership so far and constantly wonder why I hadn't done this years ago. I own a few other cars, all of which are Italian, so I won't sully these pages by listing them.

Thommo1974 Posted 7August, 2018 Report Share Posted 7August, 2018 Hi everyone, picking up my first Porsche today! 1988 911, 60k on the clock. Looking forward to it! Dalai, Scott930, Taffy and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thommo1974 Posted 9August, 2018 Report Share Posted 9August, 2018 So....just drove it 1000k to get it home. I have identified a couple of issues I’ll need t get fixed (and try and work out what all the buttons do!) but I’m very impressed with the way it accelerates once it is through 4000 rpm. The policeman was a little less impressed, and added another $266 to the purchase price... poli84, Gavn and Troubleshooter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
