Fortunate to have a friend with a helicopter, and an obliging dealer who was happy to make space in the carpark!

Big thumbs up to the boys and girls at Silverstone Porsche, including Craig who sold me the car, highly recommended bunch.

Sorry about the quality of pics, I had the camera on the wrong setting!

Thanks folks. Yes a very cool way to arrive anywhere, although I would not advise doing it before or during negotiations!!

Pretty happy with the car too!

Did you have to travel far? I have visions of you taking off from an airfield next door!

No, my mate likes an excuse, and we had to drop someone in Northampton so it all worked quite well.

I love the car. If I was to make a move on the new Cayman, want it to look like that!

Enjoy!

Ok, that's cool thumbup

Also, I think both the heli and the car look great, could you arrange to store them side by side in a massive garage? wink

I'm glad the arranging of the car park and the landing of the heli went ok. Otherwise, this could have been a fantastic first world problems thread addition. smile

Could have been a very interesting insurance claim! Thanks again.

Gonna be a bit miserable here, but is that legal? Just to land anywhere you like? If so, I want one.

(Car looks absolutely blinding by the way - the most complete sports car ever built I reckon)

I'd imagine that will be a tad different in the driving experience to the BMW...!

Yes, private helicopter can land on private land with permission of land owner, which of course we had.
