Well I turned 30 a couple of weeks ago so decided it was a good time to treat myself to a new toy! Anyway....here she is:





With the fleet!! hehe



The paint could do with some correction work, it's been subject to a few too many car-wash's in it's life! I'm loving it so far though, give me a wave if you see me around sunny Dorset!

None of the Gaymans came with an LSD. Porsche wouldn't fit one because it would make it quicker than a 911 C2

Sorry I've been a bit slow in getting back to you, I'll reply when I get home tonight (i've got a couple of questions!), I can get on PH at work, but not hotmail!!

The new DFI engine'd Cayman (or Gayman as you call it! hehe) can be specced with an LSD; also it's a pretty popular mod for the Gen 1 cars. I might look at it if I get into doing a lot of track work, but I'm sure it's probably a far too well accomplished chassis as it is for my driving 'skills'! smile

They are sweet cars, Thruxton use them as the "step up" car before they let you loose in the hypercars.

Indeed they do! I was the lucky recipient of such an experience a year or so ago... The Cayman was a hoot! but the F430 wascloud9
