colzo Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Got a letter this morning from Porsche offering me an extended test drive in a Cayman! Just need to phone and book it. I`m not into going for test drives unless I`m actually interested in buying the car but don`t want to miss this opportunity. Would you guys go for it?
thefastone Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 I probably would, but then I'm not just so keen on the Caymen... any other model I probably wouldn't even hesitate....
the squiggle Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 I probably would, but then I'm not just so keen on the Caymen... any other model I probably wouldn't even hesitate.... Book the test drive for the next Knockhill and rag it within an inch of its life, baldy tyres, clutch destroyed and brakes burnt out. Take it back to them and say the Scoob would have handled it a bit better

z1000 Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Its free so why not at least you can say you've had a blast in a new porker.
st3ph3n Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 I got the letter in too, so going to phone on Monday and see what they say.
exvaux Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 you lot get free porsches and i get offered 0% on a bloody corsa theres somethin no right there!
Chris_k Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 my mate gave me his cayman for 30 mins or so to blast about town. must say its lovely to drive but i didnt find it quick at all. the gears are a bit on the light side i prefer the subaru shift
karps Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 I got my letter in yesterday. Half hour comprehensive porsche handover? i wonder what thats about, how not to rag the ass off it probably []
colzo Posted July 4, 2007 Author Posted July 4, 2007 I`m working for 9 days solid so don`t know when I`ll take this test drive but would defo like to say that I`ve driven a Porsche.
exvaux Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 ive driven a few porsches,944 which was ok,bit slow,911 but only into the garage and was crappin myself in case i pranged it and a 2.5 boxter which handled ok but didnt feel that quick and was no match for my V5 type R on a run.
kenny4130 Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Could be fun, if only to remind yourself how good the Scoob is![] My mate just spent £97k on a 997 Turbo with 4000 miles on the clock. My own classic wagon is only putting out 337bhp/309lb and I was neck and neck with his Porsche on the straights at Knockhill. Forget the Porsche, just get an Andy Forrest remap - Much cheaper and just as quick []
lestippp Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 I would definately go for it, I had a Caymen S for a day (a gift) and this car is sublime! It certainly isn't slow, the stats say it is every bit as quick as my 05 STi PPP to 100 and keeps going all the way to 170 (where allowed to). The engine note is amazing, sitting just behind your ears, and the cars handling ability defies belief. The cabin is a great place to sit in and the build quality is second to none. One warning though....... you may remortgage the house to buy one afterwards (I'm still thinking about it!) []
jamesm Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 What did you guys do to get offered that? If it is free, then why not go for it!
lesley Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Has anybody been for this yet? I got my invitation in and would like to try it out but we were wondering if there were any catches?
fai17 Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Has anybody been for this yet? I got my invitation in and would like to try it out but we were wondering if there were any catches? There is probably more catches than you care to think of.
