This year Bedford is hosting its inaugural Festival of Motoring event on the weekend of the 1st & 2nd of June.  Steve (Bushman) has been doing a grand job of representing the OC in discussions with the organisers to secure a club dedicated area for up to 15 cars, on both days of the festival.  It would be great if we could get a good turnout for this.
 
The plan will be a proper club stand with a gazebo, club banners up etc.  
 
The event promises to be fairly impressive and would be great for the OC to be part of the event's premier.  More info is below and on the official event website here:  https://www.bedfordfestivalofmotoring.com

INTRODUCTION
 
Porsche unveiled the Cayman to the world in 2005 and went on sale to the public later in that year.  The Cayman was initially only available in 'S' guise with the 3.4-litre engine carried across from it's then a more junior sibling, the Boxster.  The following year, in 2006 Porsche released the base model Cayman with a 2.7-litre engine and 5-speed manual gearbox.  
 

BUYERS GUIDES: Porsche Cayman 981 (2014-2016)

2014 was a big year in Cayman history as it marked the introduction of an all-new platform, the new 981 Cayman. The differences between the 981 and 987 were significant, but not unexpected as many of the new technologies were already introduced in the new 991 and 981 Boxster.  One of the most notable changes with the 981 was the introduction of electromechanical steering.  This replaces the old hydraulic pump, lines and fluid of a conventional system.  The trade-off for a more efficient system is a loss in steering feel when compared to the 987.
