    Out of the Cayman and into...

    A 981 boxster.. As great a car the 987.2 Cayman was it just wasn't quite doing it for me. Too focused, a little to small, certainly in the cabin which also felt just a little bit dated.. Sold it privately for a small profit which was nice to a 21 year old lad from the Midlands who absolutely...

    Anyone have experience of these tyres? going to do all 4 corners on the Cayman as the Michelins on it although they have plenty of tread are getting quite old.. 10y on front and 7 on the rear :o the reviews seem OK with decent enough handling characteristics, most importantly to me though...

It just feels like a tiny car to me,the cabin is a bit...

    Car insurance and their random craziness

    Test drove a Cayman

    well that was nice!! Im impressed :) Needless to say it drove lovely, was a 2006 3.2s, probably wont be buying that as Im looking to the 987.2 series with the upgraded engine but in terms of driving experience it was way ahead of the z4 and the sl340, cabin was understated but a nice place...
