Picked up my Cayman today

[DIW35]

This is my first Porsche, and it's a 2010 model, so not quite as exciting as all you guys taking delivery of your 718s, but I'm really happy.

Only drive so far was to bring it home, and the majority of that was on the car park ring road, otherwise known as the M25, but first impressions are very favourable. Just need to finish my cup of tea now, and then it's homework time to read the manual and work out what all the buttons and gadgets do.

A couple of pics for anyone who might be interested.

Congratulations! and much more exciting than a 718.

Enjoy.

Love it. Wheels suit it really well. Hope you manage to get out and about over the weekend to stretch its legs

Congratulations. Very nice car.

Regarding your comment "so not quite as exciting as all you guys taking delivery of your 718s"; dont you believe it. Your car is perhaps not so fast the the in car electronics might not be as up to date, but your car is almost certainly a sweeter drive than any of the current 718s. (I used to have a 981 which was also a sweet drive). Don't "apologise" for your car: it is a very nice machine.

Lovely car op.

Very nice car. Bought mine earlier this year. Can tell you, PCM isn't very intuitive so may take a while to get used to.

Exploration of features and car very enjoyable. Congrats

[DIW35]

Thanks for the congrats guys. Grin like a Cheshire cat is still glued to my face and I don't see it fading any time soon. I think I have been lucky in finding a car that has a) been looked after and b) has a reasonable set of options without going over the top.

Really looking forward to the ownership experience.

Then there's the first time you hit that B road bend perfectly, thinking you're near the limit & realise not only you're not but you're in a mid engined beast & it's going round on rails.

DIW35 - that's a great car you have there, and make no mistake it's a far better engined car than a Beetle-powered 718. Welcome to Porsche ownership, many happy driving miles await you!

Fabulous car, enjoy it!

Looking forward to my 718 arriving so great to live vicariously until it does.

Always loved those wheels

You've got yourself a real beauty there...very nice, the Carrera II S wheels are the finishing touch.

I started a Boxster & Cayman picture thread a while back please post some pictures if you like...lots of nice cars in there it's worth a look.
