Question Cayenne owners from the South UK?

Just wondering if there are any other Cayenne owners on here in the South of the UK?

Hi Steve
- it would appear not.
There's not a lot of activity either on the PCGB forum.
We could always start our own club!! - what are you doing Christmas Day?!?
I've just paid my full deposit for the V6. The OPC sent the forms in the post today and it has cost me 27p for the privilege of returning them (I did get free mats & mudflaps though)
How is your S? My son (02 Cooper S - aged 22) has been oining me to get 20's but
1. They are nearly 3 grand £ upgrade
2. The 18s on my Boxster S are a bit firm and I'm conscious of spoiling the ride on the V6

Does Norfolk count as South of England? When does your V6 arrive James? Ordered my TT at the end of October, and I've been told August 2004 at the earliest. Very painful wait.

I'm in Sussex with a Titanium/Black TT ...

Out of around 60 cars in the NCP near work (City), two others are Cayenne S.

Hi Guys....
James,
I just love my S.....ride is great,with air sus.....have you ordered the air on yours James?.....if not I think you may be better off with 18/19" wheels.


NP,
Mine came through quicker than I was originally told by dealer.....but TT is longer delivery I think....I ordered my S in July and took delivery DEC.2nd.
Steve

PS:-It would seem that the 3 of us couldn't be much further away form one another! where shall we have a meet ....Coventry?!

Well at least it gives a good excuse for a long drive (preferably avoiding the M25)!

OK cousins......... you DO realize that any gathering of Cayennes warrants some photographs and a description of the "event" here on Rennlist! All of us (we?) colonists are waiting to see what a Cayenne looks like where the driver sits on the "wrong"side of the car!

Toby, it looks "right" - of course! It might be a longish wait for photographs, seeing as many of us are on a seemingly endless waiting list. Naturally, when the vehicles are delivered and a meet takes place, photographs will be posted to show our cousins across the water how the interior should look.

Not quite a meet but a few shots that may be of interest. I'll try to post four -so may have to do it one at a time.
The Rangey is that one that will make way for the V6. The Boxster in the middle is mine.
For our cousins, note the J*S connotation in both my number plates. I've had both (plus four others) for over 15 years, costing then about £1000 each. Probably double or treble that now.
I'm told the OPCs will be getting early V6 stock in January and mine is due for March/April build.
Have gone for Air; servotronic; 18" S wheels with coloured centres; cruise; sports seats; multifunction wheel; 6-disc CD; dark walnut etc. = total just over £40k

Again, back in the summer. Had just started to think about a C. What size is it against the RR?

Great photos James - does the RR feel that much bigger than the Cayenne?
