Oh I see what you mean. Tbh living in Yorkshire I can't say I've seen many supercars. But obviously London is full of them, and gwizz's lol.

Finally got around to driving a Cayman GTS. Absolutely stunning piece of machinery. I love it. So very evocative and engaging, even at lower speeds.
This or an F-type of any kind? I'll take this, please.

This new shape Cayman looks so much better than the previous generations.
The first two looked cheap. This just looks solid and expensive!

Amazed how great that looks in red!
Those wheels though, YUCK!
If you want a true drivers experience a Cayman everytime let alone a GTS.
If you want noise, looks and straight line performance F-Type.
Though the Cayman in red looks so much more than a Cayman in red I am now seeing lots of Ferrari styling hints in that and no not just because its red.
Are you implying that they get clocked?
I don't know about the uk but I knew one of the super car dealers out in Czech and a LOT of the super cars are clocked.
I hear that the same is going on in the uk.
Take a look a AT. How many 5 to 7 year old 911s have over 60k miles? But you see them being used everyday on the roads.
My 911 is this old, 53,000 miles. I got it with 25,000 on the clock 4 years ago.
So in 4 years I have just done over 25,000 miles.
I'd go with a GTS personally, well I am bias as I have one on order at the moment. I'd also recommend testing out a PDK car, its very very impressive!
Also be carful of the options list, I went a little silly with mine.

My demo car, I had for the afternoon was in red and I wasn't so keen on it. So I've ordered mine in metallic white with the Carrera S wheels.
The only questions I have at the moment with my order are the PCCB and the Sports Chassis, so Ive requested a car with these on for my Silverstone day.

22,000 in 18 months, must try harder.
I was talking about clocking, it is sadly rife on super cars. I'm not insinuating I have friends that do this, I just know of people who have sold cars and have seen them appear sometime later with a serious haircut.

Get the sports chassis, supposed to be excellent and will be a rarer spec come re-sale may help with value.
PCCB if you can afford or plan on keeping for several years do it, no dust, better performance and they last life of car. If your gonna do lots of track work then don't bother with PCCB.

That GTS looks delicious!

Review of that Cayman GTS now live here: http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review...ives/porsche-cayman-gts-uk-first-drive-review
I still love the F-type but I must say that I've become increasingly ambivalent about the way the V8 S sounds. With the exhaust valves shut it's almost too muted, with them open it's pretty antisocial - particularly around town. Pop pop pop, bang bang crackle, BANG; all at 30mph.
Good fun in the right conditions though. Sure it wouldn't take much to sort it out either

This is exactly what I thought of the V6S, on first impressions, it's wow this sounds great, and then after a while you think meh, blimey this is bloody annoying and far too fake. Although when I had the 981 Boxster S, this was almost as bad with the sports exhaust on.
On another note, my car is currently off the road, as the rear window smashed last week, luckily covered by my glass cover as the whole hatch was £2300 (not sure if that included VAT) Got to wait 7-10 days for it to arrive, they came out on Tuesday and even though there were numerous notes saying Targa, they brought along a nice new normal 911 window for a 996 coupe.
