The Joys of a Porsche Cayman

[Stone02]

Hi,

After owning my 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman S here is a picture and a brief bit relating to my previous post RE: Section 59.



I purchased this car after falling in love with it at the dealership, It's a Manual with the extended leather in Crayon which really lightens the interior for me. If anyone has any questions regarding this model, let me know.

If anyone has seen my previous thread about the Section 59 given on it, instead of replying individually to you all. Yes the car is mine, yes I worked hard for it and the insurance has caused me to sell my left kidney. I love my cars and if anyone is in the East Midlands and wants to go to any car meets or visit Caffeine and Machine I'm always looking to talk cars.

Thanks.

Custard please. Just because.

How much is insurance costing you at 19 and who are you insured with ?

It’s strange how insurance works,

It’s around five thousand , with no black box.

although to insure the Cayman (non S) model it worked out more!

It’s through Admiral.

Ouch!!

£100 a week to insure. I am so glad I am old.

£5k just on insurance?! That's mental.

yeah , hopefully will be dropping for the following year, although it’s £1800 on my Focus St-Line X currently too which is only a 1l, 125bhp

Can you post a picture of the interior of the Cayman, it sounds like a nice colour combination

Are you really spending £6800 a year on insurance?.

Thanks, I didn’t expect such negative responses on my other post regarding my car. Although from what I saw there does seem to be trolls, I appreciate all cars and I’m extremely fortunate to be driving my red car around .

Must be a glutton for punishment, running two everyday cars when one will do. But each to their own.

Ha ha that's funny that you think that.

This forum used to embrace petrolheads, now it has become salty/embittered people trying to score internet points with internet friends.

If it was more welcoming maybe PH would get more new blood instead of the same posters taking over threads and scaring new posters away.

IMO spending £5k on insurance for 1 car is mental, if you want to take that as me trying to score internet points with internet friends then so be it.

I like that interior a nice change. I have a 2008 987 Cayman that's black on black and as much as it's the best of what they had back then I do sometimes wish for some lighter highlights.

i think spending ks on stupid trainers or trinkets to put on your arm to show the would how succesful you is stupid. 5k to drive a car you want to drive, on a car forum, i see no issues. Maybe the OP just gets on with life and enjoys the moment.

I agree.

My SL had a lightish grey leather interior and dash top which suited it much better than the bog standard black and made it a nice airy place to sit.
