Cayman OC - New Merchandise
We've had a re-vamp of our merchandise recently and the new online store has just been launched!  We took the decision for a number of reasons, including lots of un-sold stock of the previous shirts in odd sizes nobody wants and also so that fulfilment doesn't just rely on me remembering to send stuff out in the post.  There was also some disparity in sizes in the old shirts which meant sizing up was required, particularly after the first wash.  
 
The new store includes the classic designs and some new, we are also offering not just t-shirts but also hoodies, mugs and other goodies.  Most garments are also no offered in a variety of new colours.  
 
So, go check it to when you have a moment and any feedback is welcome 
 
CAYMAN OC MERCHANDISE STORE
 
Additionally if you'd like a bargain, then the last of the old designs will be available at half price (£12.50) - so PM if you'd like a bargain and I'll check if we have your size and design available.

Simply Porsche 2021
Well I don’t know about everybody else, but I’m desperate to get some events this year, like I’d bite your hand off if you offered me a cheese sandwich date in a an empty field right now! 
 
So Simply Porsche at Beaulieu seems positively extravagant.  
 
If there’s enough interest, we can book an area or stand. 
 
Who’s up for it??

10 year Anniversary Cayman R/987 Spyder meet May 2021.
I'm looking to organize a meeting of exclusivley Cayman R's and would love to get as many as possible to attend.
 
Something quite informal, a meet up, meet and greet everyone and get some line up photos, maybe a coffee and breakfast and then a convoy drive on a specified route. That actually sounds more formal than I thought!
 
At this early stage i am open to suggestions on the location but some thoughts are
 
1. Brands Hatch
 
2. Shuttleworth Air Museum.
 
3.Silverstone Porsche experience centre. ( this is my current favourite, especially if I can arrange something with Porsche UK?, it's also fairly central so may get more people to attend with their R's)
 
Date wise again not yet set, I need to know an idea on numbers before I start to contact venues, won't be good arranging something with Porsche and only three of us turn up.
 
So if this is of interest to you, please let me know, either on here or email peterjanderson@btinternet.com

It has come to our attention that some members have reported significant issues after having purchased items from PorscheShop.co.uk.  
 
We have investigated the issues further and it appears to be a significant and more widespread issue.  Until we can successfully establish contact with PorscheShop.co.uk we highly recommend to all members that you do not purchase any items from PorscheShop.co.uk.  We have suspended the discount scheme we offer to our Premium Members with PorscheShop.co.uk effective immediately until the issue is resolved.
 
We obviously understand that the recent Covid-19 pandemic has caused many traders and businesses to be facing difficult trading conditions.  Whilst this is terribly unfortunate and we would do anything we could to support business partners facing such difficulties, there is no excuse for poor customer service and and for leaving customers facing financial loss.  
 
If any member has experienced problems with this particular trader, then please contact us discreetly via private messaging.  
 
Thanks

West Coast Custom's Cayman based Porsche 356
Take a closer look at this 356, nothing odd? Look again.  
 
Its looks like a 356, but just a bit wider, and much bigger wheels and a then there's that hump right behind the passenger seat...
 
It's a 356 body that's been lengthened and widened to fit over a 987 Cayman chassis. Created by the world renowned West Coast Customs, and it's featured on this week's episode of Jay Leno's Garage.
 
Ryan Friedlinghaus, the CEO of West Coast Customs, told Leno it took around eight months to build, and no expense was spared. All the glass had to be custom-made for this car and the bodywork is all steel.  A great job by the looks and all without any fibreglass, to top it off (pun intended) it has a removable hard roof!

Post in The Piston Works Auto Collective
I thought I would bring this to life for my fellow OC members, as an early 'heads up' if you will.    
 
As many of you know I started the Cayman OC back in November 2015 after realising that being a Cayman owner in a Boxster club just wasn't cricket (as much as the Boxster guys were a great bunch).  Its been a labour of love and i've really enjoyed creating a community and making many friends, although at times keeping on top of organising events and the like is tricky.  More so lately as i've moved on from full-time employment to start a new venture, one that will hopefully be rewarding in other ways than just a pay check.

718 Cayman now available on your games console!
Well finally it’s arrived, you can now drive your favourite car whilst your P&J is tucked up in the garage.  Yes that’s right folks, on your games console (probably Xbox only).  
 
Forza Horizon 4 has released screen shots of the latest edition to the game in the shape of a 718 GTS, looking pretty true to real life.  
 

 
We look forward to hearing how it compares to the real thing and whether it’s been a faithful reproduction of the real thing.  
 
Let us know if you’re lucky enough to be the owner of the real car and the game version!!

The Slow Decay of Porsche Prices
I suppose it's no surprise that like many a petrolhead, spending time cruising the classifieds is not a strange habit.  It could be likened in fact to a lady window shopping in her local designer outlet village and coming home with nothing but a receipt from Pret a Manger.  When you spend that much time hang out in the classifieds and coupled with a bit of talk among those in the trade you start to gauge a picture.  So understanding the dynamics of used Porsche prices at the current time is not hard, but it does require some clear thinking and a bit of honesty if you are to judge the right price for a potential purchase.  
 
Just like me you will probably also see a variety of posts on social media from folk wondering why their pride and joy hasn't sold even when advertised at 'below market price' and acting quite bewildered by this situation.  Often this belief is supported and upheld by their fraternity, reaction is often a cocktail of denial and head scratching.  But were somebody to suggest that said advertised car might be keenly priced, you will literally be marched to Tyburn for suggesting such an outrageous idea. 
 
There is truth though, and it's cold and it's hard.

Porsche Cayman S 987 Gen 1 (2005-2008)
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.

Porsche Cayman and Cayman S 981 (2014-2016)
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.
