    Daily driver replacement

    Hi Folks, just after a bit of hive mind advice, just last week I lost my beloved e350 to flood water. I'm looking to replace it potentially with another e class but I'm not having much luck finding something just right and am wondering what other cars I may need to open up to. Requirements 4...

    Had a pop at the Porker

    Getting too old for this s**t, dont think I'll pick up a machine polisher again.. however this one really pops after a polish, usual snowfoam and 2 bucket wash, then another wash with the farecla clay mitt, a quick once over on the machine with meguires ultimate, hand polish with auto finesse...

    Which colour wheel (437M) on a yellow E89?

    Id go for satin black, just done that on the red porker..provides a nice contrast, or a gunmetal if you prefer something a bit lighter

    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...

    Hankook Ventus S1 evo3

    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...

    2 months in a Cayman

    Well there's no doubt these things handle like nothing else at the price point and theyre a very pretty car, intoxicating engine noise right behind your head when giving it some and a general feeling of overall quality....but there's a but! It just feels like a tiny car to me,the cabin is a bit...

    Car insurance and their random craziness

    I was very happy although somewhat confused insuring the Cayman as it being twice as valuable in the event of total loss and it being much quicker than my e89 23i it still was £80 a year cheaper, but of all the oddities that are mentioned by members going through the annual insurance rigmarole...

    What convertible is as good looking as a z4

    I did think as much.. bit depressing really innit.. a 35i is still in the mix potentially at this point but I think I do fancy a change and won't lose out much on a Cayman if it doesn't float my boat completely This however does have a soft top, V8 and looks great

    What convertible is as good looking as a z4

    My current search for a new motor has me thinking.. maybe after a combined 6 years in an e85 and e89 has me doe eyed but I cant think of a single convertible (in the same price bracket.. say sub 20k) that looks as nice and performs as well... am I missing something here.. is there a car out...

    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...

    Test drove an sl350

    So in my quest to find a replacement for a the zed i have shortlisted 3 cars, A c5 or c6 corvette, an sl350 or a cayman S. A little disappointed in the sl, was a 2014 model with only 44k on the clock, first impressions were good, nice looking motor to me, I know these things are...
