Cheated on my MCS....LOVED IT!
 

Ugh, I feel guilty. I wrapped myself in the arms of another vehicle, and I can't stop thinking about it.

The Porsche Cayman S is all it's cracked up to be and more. I had a lengthy drive with it, and while I LOVE my car - it just isn't in the same arena as the Cayman. It has personality, spunk, vigor; it's tight, load, raucus, invigorating.

I've read a lot of reviews where people come from Porsches to MINIs, but I have to say that if I could spend 0 dollars for three years to save for this thing, I'd buy it.

I know this comparison is apples to oranges. All I'm saying is that the car friggin' rocks.

I need to go take a shower to get this glitter and perfume off of me:lol:

You better hope your MINI dosn't find out about this, or a check engine light will come on very quickly. MINIs are very jealous!

hmm, you do know all our minis read about themselves in this site...

Looks like I'm driving to work in the back seat tomorrow.

Nice. How'd you get ahold of one of those? It's one of my favorite cars currently.:)

get footage on that one.. youtube classic for sure :thumbsup: :lol:

I agree...Caymans rock! ....haven't driven one yet, but I followed a black one for a couple of miles a few days ago. It sounded sweet and I couldn't keep my eyes off it. 0-60 in the mid 4's would be nice...and it would out-handle most anything. :nod:

I don't know that a test drive would count as cheating...that was a long drive though...guess it varies by MINI...but if you do it again you could be in trouble. :lol:

I kinda cheated too :eek2:

Got it on saturday

is it street legal??

In some states (like mine). I got plates and insurance for it already.

OMG I WANT ONE! They start at about $25k USD according to that video

How much is the insurance on it?

$1400 / year comprehensive from one of the national companies. There were several other smaller collector car insurance companies that would cover it too but they usually had mile limited policies

thats half of my insurance on my MINI :eek:

my friend said that his mom was gonna buy him a Cayman since forever, but he said that his mom thought they were "girly" and bought him a lime green mustang... my jaw dropped when he told me that

porche has never done to great besides the little rebuilt 914 in the solo events.. im guessing the owners are to afraid to hurt them lol.

Congrates on the Atom!!! I was actually looking into getting one...but that is all the further I got....One bad car....period....

Mustang instead of a cayman? How about a schwinn instead of a ducati?

Now all arielatom.com needs to do is to get their website operational....

Or you could just go to: http://www.arielmotor.co.uk/

Been there, done that, AND I got caught! :eek2:

I was in Stuggart in the spring and got invited to the Porsche factory for the day. Tours, lunch, etc., and then a romp across the German countryside in a new Cayman S... OMG! They programmed the route into the Nav system and I was off. A great mixture of country roads and, of course, some Autobahn action. What a great day!

The wife called me from the states when I was on the Autobahn... doing 225 KPH+ and shifting in to 6th gear... BUSTED!
