Cayman R Chat

[tracydeedance]

I wanted a change just because 2 interesting models were coming out and thought they could be the only thing I would change the CR for.
On the list for a GT 4 didn't get.
On the list for the new Spyder didn't get.
So won't be changing this year can't afford the over list prices of both.
Will enjoy another year of the CR

I am the same having owned mine for over 3 years. I did think about a GT4 but for the circa £50k extra it would cost quite honestly I'd rather have 2 Cayman R's. Can't see £50k more car in the GT4 sorry.

[tracydeedance]

I would have had very small spec on both which suits my needs and budget so would not have cost to much for new unlike flipped cars.

Sorry I should have made things more crystal what I meant was our road surface is appauling now days and essentuates the GT3 handerling even more as a road car.
Not sure where you live we have more speed or should I say safety cameras around now days.Sorry I have to disagree about traffic increase its appauling in the South east you just can't go anywhere without get stuck and we all know a hard car to drive can be tiresome in traffic.
Agree about a nice car to use for the road CR does it perfectly.

I got mine serviced today - good job by the guys at West Byfleet and I was OK with the price in the end. I really do love my car now though - it took a while to really gel with it but I'm not sure I want to change it - they had a GT4 in the showroom - £100k??? Simply not worth the switch - I can get that new Mini JCW Challenge, keep my car and still have change for that kind of cash. For the money, there isn't much to compare with the R IMHO. Looking forward to getting the cup 2s on it and trying it on track now.

J-P, have you had a chance to try the MPS Cup 2s yet? I've just got hold of a set of OZ Ultraleggeras for track use, and am trying to decide what tyres to use. I run MPSS on the road wheels anyway, so was looking at the Cup 2s as a more track-biased tyre.

No not yet. I need to get the damper done which will require a full geo. Lots going on at work at the moment, so I'm thinking I'll probably get the tyres and do the work in July / August. I've only heard good things about the Cup 2s though. Was thinking about getting some OZ superforgiatas for track use. They're a lot of cash though!

Snap! Sticking with MPSS for mine though as I've had enough of R compound tyres being iffy in the wet. I'd rather sacrifice a bit of ultimate dry grip for being able to still go out in the wet.

Anyone know the Peridot Green CR at Cameron Cars?

Looks perfect spec to me...

[Porsche911R]

It looks a mega car should have sold by now !

PCCB are rare as are xenons.

[tracydeedance]

Looks very reasonable on that price bargain

[Jim1556]

Doesn't matter now - my £18.5k tax rebate has been miscalculated - by about £18k...

Bugger!

[Porsche911R]

people must know what TAX is due ?

[LambShank]

Even I could be interested in that car - looks good.

[fridaypassion]

Green ones do seem to linger. Great spec on that one though.

It's an iconic colour, looks amazing, the best colour for the R imo, even though I have white now ! the Green is the best colour for sure.

I did hear a rumour that it was a press car originally hence the spec?

[Porsche911R]

no real info to back a forum rumor up though as yet !

Press cars normally get the full leather on dash also etc etc which this has missing.
