3Pedals Posted 16August, 2015 Report Share Posted 16August, 2015 Hey All,My name is Col, I hail from Brisbane New to forums and new to the Porsche experience, been driving a 2005 BMW 130i for the last 4 and a half years and was looking to get an new M135, after a couple of test drives I decided that apart from the performance and "newness" I felt more involved in the 130i with good old hydraulic steering and N/A throttle response. Anyway a mate suggested a used cayman, and so the hunt began. After my first test drive of a 2007 base model I was totally hooked. I had no idea how balanced a car could be. Finally after 3 months searching I picked up a 2009 model in Aqua Blue with 57000 on the clock, my first weekend involved a 6 hour drive on some great roads in Brisbane, 6 weeks on my BM which was going to be my DD hasn't moved from the garage! Anyway every Sat and Sun morning I'm on the road for a blat I totally love this car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason E Posted 16August, 2015 Report Share Posted 16August, 2015 God I love a Cayman. Nice car Col. I would buy a Cayman in a heartbeat if I had the spare cash at the moment. I have to content myself with a Boxster that is far, far more affordable. My next car though (after I find a buyer for my wife & child) will definitely be a Cayman. They are the next best thing to a 993 in my books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike D'Silva Posted 2September, 2015 Report Share Posted 2September, 2015 nice.ex Cayman owner here.. you are a smart fella.I'm going to end up with another at some point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Pedals Posted 3September, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 3September, 2015 Not familiar with the acronyms on car forums, what would a C&C be? If it involves a drive I would be in except this weekend I have something on. After only 6 weeks or so I have done over 2500 k's in the car, it's like a drug you just want more and more! Each time I drive it I push it that little bit harder and I reckon my abilities will run out well before the car reaches it's limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
