Must be a Golf day then - just got a white TDi as a loaner from CCS with Cayman in for service. John, you were right re parking down there - its like a candy shop at the moment - so many nice machines but madness for moving around. Matt's was up on the hoist while I was there just now - what's being done?

And I think we're all witnessing a moment in history with John (the car hoarder) McM and Macca both jumping on the looney tunes Trade Me wagon. Willing to bet that it will be a passing phase and that normal service will resume shortly...

Ta - if it needs anything its a better stance - like they've managed with the PSS9s there. We used to joke about the stock SUV ride height on 964's but the Cayman is in a different league - its like on stilts.

If they're all SUV height stock, does that make it normal?
I must admit I lowered mine in part for the aesthetic. My layman's impression is that it improved handling but others may disagree.

I've had a few loaner Mk7 Golfs from CCS over the past few months; didn't like them to be honest. Preferred the feel of my old Mk5.

And yes, the amount of cars in the parking lot out back is mental. I've been meaning to take mine back for a 15 minute look on the hoist and I've not done it in part because of knowing how busy they are.

What's your verdict on the Cayman? Has it lived up to your expectations?

Did the C4 for $55K sell - it's still listed.

My gen 1 Cayenne S is fun, goes like stink, brilliant for carting around teenagers, heaps of luggage space and towing capacity of 3.5 tonnes. Yet, it handles like any Porsche designed beasty. Even had it on the track at Puke and raised the eyebrows of a few 911 drivers on the day :-P

Got my loaner for the Turbo display all ready :-)

My thoughts were that I have my tow vehicle already. Isuzu . So sorted for the race trailer. Need something that I drive to work , don't mind leaving outside all the time and if something like a cayenne then good utility as well. I have enjoyed my R 32 enormously especially after fitting the Whiteline Aussie performance bushes throughout and new shocks. Transformed it . Sits beautifully and handles far better than stock, if a bit harsh. Just needs a better sound but have not touched the engine or exhaust.
Thinking maybe a 4.8L cayenne, gts or s , maybe turbo or something older in the porsche range. Will keep the GT3 in the garage and enjoy the weekend stuff with her. Any ideas?

Does it have the same leather as the Turbo 3.6?

Ndewar

Can't believe there are so many good choices on TM in the porsche 150 k region. Which one would I take? Johns for keeping . Maccas for driving. Maybe the 90k gen 1 gt3 for track work. All nice .

Don't know - haven't sat in it yet?

I'll go try now and see??

Luke944

Wow she looks like a beauty! Sounds like you'll have an amazing line up at the picnic.

Smells pretty good - must be the leather dash and door panels?

Maybe not as strong as the 3.6T - but not complaining.

The only thing I'm grizzeling about is not having my car - starting to go through serious withdrawl symptions - not sure how Macca does it?

I need a good Pcar drive now............

Luke - your comments about preferring narrow bodies - sorry mate no matter how 'one eyed' I try to be - this thing looks as good as it gets.........

peterC2S

Its a sensational drive - it has some downsides but hard to fault as a driving machine. Doug will understand...

peterC2S

The offer still stands - needs a couple of things done this coming week and then looking for a babysitter for 4 weeks.

Obsessed

All this buying and selling... I need a lie down.

So surely Paul's buying John's 3.6T, after all this time moaning "the hips, the hips"?
