As the title suggests boys and girls heres a heads up for Sundays top gear.
Interested to hear what they have to say after all the other rave reviews the Cayman has had.

Well kind of expected JC to go gainst every other review of the car being the opinionated ***ker that he is

Was not all bad as the most important things ie handling and engine he liked.

i have to admit i liked the way it was styled ... looked very aggressive. Not to sure about the missing LSD and the dash looked a little bland.
Would love to see what happens when RUF get hold of one.

Why did the Stig drive the hot lap with PSM off? Everybody knows that PSM is so effective that it's faster to drive with it switched on!

As for Clarkson.....well. What a surprise! And to have a go at the options list I thought was a little churlish, considering option prices very often go unmentioned.

Berk!

Great lap by Wrighty though!

Looking forward to seeing the Cayman S for the first time tonight...should be good.

Have never felt inclined to look at buying a Cayman, even though I used to have a Boxster S which I loved. However, after seeing it on Top Gear last night I am sorely tempted to go test drive the wee beastie. Just goes to show that no matter what JC says, if the car looks the biz on the show then the coverage is positive!

No LSD (F*&king tight wades) - PSM - utter bollox - for city boys and girls.

au contraire....I believe Clarkson has been taking lots of LSD recently!

Is this what you meant?

What's a tight wade?

Hope you are kidding?!

LSD is a limited slip differential - not some electronic gizmo that does a simialr but (IMHO) crapper job) - they are being cheap. You can bet a 911 has an LSd and theta traction control PSM crap.

Wow...you really didn't spot the humour content did you?!

Here's a couple of smilies I should have added.

I have referred Mr Jeremy Coxson to my psychiatrist and, guess what?

He's a bang to rights closet Porsche fan.

For a cure he just has to "Come Out".
