Warning: Positive Porsche tale ahead...

I haven't driven my Cayman for 6 weeks now, all I've driven is the g/f's (cute) Yaris and a sh*theap called a Ford Territory (Aussie thing).

As it was my birthday over the weekend I went to the effort of getting the car and going for a v. long drive to a country hotel (& back again next day).

There's something really refreshing about getting back into your pride and joy after not driving it for a while. Even though I've had it for a year & 13,000 miles, I felt similar feelings to when I first picked it up! Which was nice

It's absolutely brilliant, feels so special to drive and I'm delighted that it still makes me bounce

PS. Why 6 weeks? I'm having a loft extension that requires considerable amounts of scaffolding installed where the car sits, on the driveway. To keep it off the road and ensure the clumsy builders don't drop something on it, it's safely tucked away at a friend's garage elsewhere.

Happy Birthday Pikey,
Tell me, how do you fight the temptation not to drive it.

Got any tips.

I can't stay away from my RS.

Oh so true. I got the same feeling after two weeks of vacations getting into my car again. It's just good to be back, hear the roar of the flat six and smell hot rubber...hehe

BTW: I like the car pic in your profile - a lovely contrast to the typical Zymoled-up ones

Easy - it's locked in a garage away from my home!

Thanks

I think it looks great when dirty & dusty (although it is normally shiny and polished)!
