I actually miss the PDK version I just sold, I now have the 2 manual versions left, one white and one black, one with low miles and the black one with just above delivery miles...

It sounds crazy, but I just kept on accumulating them for different reasons, habit of doing this when I focus on a particular model. What is more, I have never come across such a perfect car in my life and gets so much attention and feedback when driving it especially in Central London, where no Porsche (except the 918) gets attention

No such thing as perfection in life, but the Cayman R is as close as it gets!!!

when you are starting threads of R's at £50k and you say cars are selling sub £40k, every thing sells if it's priced right, that car was cheap.

Very nearly called you at the weekend myself Fizzbomb as I was heading up north anyway. But I still haven't tried a PDK variant and didn't want to waste anyones time. Car looked nice, good spec and was a decent price. All the other high price chancers should take note ;-)

Had a great trip in the Alps the other week, covered about 2,500 miles and the R was sublime and really got know the car more than I have over the previous 8 months in the UK.

Couple of shots of her stretching her legs (some shots borrowed from others so credit there). I'd recommend the roads to anybody for a bit enjoyment, oh and the scenery is not too shabby either.

If you wanted to come down to only trial it, I would have allowed that, no problems, would have given me the chance to be in the passenger seat for once...
