DJMC Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I was new to the world of Porsche last November. Mine's a 2014 981 2.7, PDK, from Porsche Reading, original reg. RE14... as I see yours is too. How long have you had it, and what did you have before? How does it compare? What's the rest of your spec? I went for a blast today down country roads. What a great chassis, engine, and gearbox. Loving it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had for less than 3 weeks and I've still got an inane smile on my face. Yeah its from Reading via Birmingham. Last car was a Audi TT and the Cayman is so much better and so many ways. Spec is:- 2014 PDK 2.7 in Agate grey Seem to spend all my driving days looking for some interesting twister roads. Not too many where I am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic8080 Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Hi folks, sorry it's taken so long to get back. The Porsche experience was great. I arrived early and after introductions and climbing into a similar base Cayman to mine, I was allowed to drive out on to a quiet track. The site has three tracks 1) resembles a B road 2) a more challenging track with tight twists and turns and 3) a figure of eight track which is used to hone braking and balance while cornering. The track also had some fiendish trick sections 1) ice hill 2) kick plate and 3) low grip section You can your pick you track cars from a range of lovely machines GT4, 911 etc Total driving time was close to 1:20 mins. Great fun and highly recommended. Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
