Apparently it has a puristic interior? What the flock is puristic! I can make up words too..... how about lazyarsedbraindeaddesignmonkeyswhoonlyknowhowtouseaphotocopier.

That to Miles....

 

[Andrea]

like it (from over in the porsche camp) she said very quietly...

 

[dem maser]

i like that word miles...must include it in the forum to mean a meaningless topic....

 

[Phil H]

Only slightly tongue in cheek folks, honest. There is a serious point insofar as £52k is a **** of a lot of money for a car like that, and even with a lottery win I wouldn't look at one. If your pleasure is track work you can do better, and likewise for road use.

[Andyk]

Its a hard one Phil as I too wouldn't have it for the money .... but one thing to remember is that it is meant to be the best driver cars you can buy as voted by many mags ... yes there are better looking, yes there are fatser but does that make then a better drive ... for me no ... but I to would struggle to pay 50k on a Cayman when a 911 is in that brachet 2nd hand and a number of Maserati, Ferrari. But there are some who want that best driving experience and it would seem the Cayman is pretty much top of the list .... Me I think I would prefer a used GS and a Lotus Exige.

Nice bit of marketing from Porsche.

Come on Miles .. it obvious ...it has cloth for door handles.

 

[GransportFan1]

i agree what you say about having a GS and Exige for the price of a cayman, as good as it maybe, i would never pay 50k for one, you can get a decent R8 4.2 for about 60k now

 

[Andyk]

But then now you can get a good one for 20k then its a different matter .... Once driven never forgotten .... Its more involving than a 911 which says something .. Myself I find the styling a little awkward from some angles ... The R does look good though.

 

[GransportFan1]

i still wouldn't buy one, i would have a GS or M3 CSL instead.

 

[Andyk]

Would to get to good M3 CSL or GS for 20k Adam ...

 

[GransportFan1]

you could get a decent one for 25k though so not much more.

 

[Andyk]

Yes maybe Adam but if you have a 20k budget 5k is miles away......

 

[GransportFan1]

TVR T350 then if i have 20k to spend.

 

[Andyk]

Great looking car Adam .. which is what I fell for ... wouldn't have another ... Think I would go 3200 AC with a few grand saved for running costs...Or even that QP with 75k on the clock thats up for 19950 ... God that would be hard not to resist.

 

[dem maser]

that QP is xcheap...perfect car for you andy almost replaces the M5 doing the same job but (whispers) not as good...

 

[Andyk]

Shhhh .. not as good Dem ...But bloody stunning and that sound ....

 

[dem maser]

it makes up for it with the looks and sound....

 

[Andyk]

Yep 10 times over Dem.
