  • I've wanted to try one of the Cayman 981s for a while, they seem like such good value! I was not disappointed but was the auction the right place to buy one?!

    Loving your channel, Joe - you appear to be living the dream! I must say, that whenever I watch an episode i can't help but think that Macauley is a real asset to your business as he just seems to get on with it - every small business needs a Macauley 👍

    Personally, for about the same money, I would go for a 5.0 supercharged F Type. Now they do make a heavenly sound!!

    • @timprice5
      @timprice5 Před 4 dny +6

      But are not anywhere near the sports car the Cayman is. Have driven both and own a Boxster myself.
      F type is more tourer - and a great car - but not a patch on the mid engine fun the Cayman/Boxster are.
      But I agree on the sound. That 5.0 is beautiful to listen to over your shoulder when driving it.

    Awesome car. 2.7 is so underrated. Everyone goes on about the great PSE sound and this size engine lets you get the most out of it without risking licence. Try the manual option on your PDK….. it’s quite satisfying changing via stick. It’s fast enough already 😮.

    (I support an indi dealer) They are nice 981's. PDK service is due at 12 year mark, PSE (sports exhaust) can fail, check they open and close, engine mounts fail if its a Sports Chrono.....Great cars though. Important point its a convertible chassis in a coupe body so super stiff feel!

      Combe is such a boring track though for an out and out sports car like the Cayman. It favours stuff with big power particularly at Quarry and Camp. Something a bit more technical would be ideal for it. Goodwood is a great little circuit for the Cayman and surprisingly undulating as flat as it appears in videos.
