I have also just pulled the trigger on a CS but not due to arrive until March 14. A terrible wait after such a long and exhaustive testing process. I will miss my regular test drive now that I have placed the order!

CS
Sapphire Blue
Black interior
PDK
Sports Chrono
Sports Exhaust
Front sensors
Standard 19" wheels with coloured caps
Smokers package ( for a non smoker!)
Bose sound
Mats
Clear bra to be fitted before delivery

and..........a second mortgage - only joking but one does get a little peeved with the Aussie cost vs USA

Anyway, now for the wait. And thanks to all the P9 contributions that have helped shape my order.

Cheers

I used Porsche insurance, they gave the best deal for premium, excess and conditions.
I did the same, for the same reasons.

And my previous insurer AAMI (23 years no claims on previous Porsches with them) would not insure the car due to too many factory options. :crazy:

:cheers:
 
Sorry, bad start, let's try again.

G'day from WA, (South West),

I wanted a current model Cayman S but alas none in Perth. So went interstate and found the one in Melbourne

2014 Cayman S
White
Black leather
PDK
Sports Chrono
20" Platinum Carrera S wheels
Heated seats (as if needed in WA)
Multi function steering wheel
Park assist front/rear
Rear wiper

This was a demo, so had to accept factory options supplied.

When I get the CS home will embark on the following upgrades:
Window tint
Carbon fibre upgrade - DB Carbon - following BJR's lead but to lesser extent!
Sports pedals - Rennline
Grille guards - Zunsport
Sports exhaust + tips
And no doubt more

CS will be stable mate to '94 993 and '15 Macan S diesel (ETA Oct/Nov)

Looking forward to ongoing forum participation

Best regards to one and all,
Chris
 
Nice,

Make sure you keep her covered. That Perth Sun and the UV you get would burn a hole in a steel plate.

:cheers:
 
Hi all. Better late than never. I have a 2014 981 Cayman in carrera white with 20" techno sport wheels and PDK. I Got very lucky and found the right car sitting on the dealers floor at the end of the FY so my total wait was about a day. I am in Brisbane and am a member of PCQ. I have always lusted after a 911 but I can't imagine not having the Cayman. It gets sweeter with every km which is lucky because I use it as a daily driver (when my wife doesn't knick it!).
 
Hi all,

2010 Cayman pdk from sydney. Had the car for about a year now.
Metallic black
Pdk w sports chrono plus
18" cayman S wheels that i plasti dipped in black
Transparent engine cover
interior lighting in red
Some vinyl wrapping

ordered the armytrix exhaust just waiting for it to arrive now
 
Pretty quiet section, this one.

Just took delivery of my 14 Cayman 2.7 manual in Lime Green metallic.

The LG is a pretty controversial colour it seems. Love or hate. Good for me that I really like it.

First Porsche and the Cayman 981 is a good one to start with. NA bliss :)

Hi All, no CS but am returning to the site after selling my 06 CS and dabbling with a tuned C63AMG for a few years....... Currently car less but looking to get back into Porsche in the not too distant future.
 
2006 Cayman S here in Sydney. Had her for two years, and loving it. Carnewal exhaust, Numeric shifter cables and that's about it.

Here she is at bath time.(it snows in Australia!)

Welcome!. Post some pics when you pick her up. Give us some specs too!. Mileage, colour etc.
Arctic Silver with about ~97,000km. It is pretty stock. I really need to upgrade the head unit. Looking at the Pioneer AVIC-F80DAB. Also looking at replacing the stock steering wheel with a pistol grip wheel (has a flat bottom and includes audio controls).

Still sifting through the forum looking for anyone that fits the TPC turbo kit in Sydney.

She looks like a good'un. I've got no experience with TPC builds in Oz, but your best bet would be to speak with PR Tech in Brookvale. Autohaus look after my car for servicing, and they've built some stllar 964 hotrods, but I'm not so sure about their watercooled experience. Worth giving them a call though.

Hello everyone,

I am taking delivery of my 2011 (2012 model year) Cayman tomorrow. Can't wait. Took a while to make a decision, but the low km's (under 11000), and dealer interaction at Porsche of Townsville led me to this one vs others out there. Living in FNQ has it's downsides when trying to purchase, and maintain cars, but makes up for it with the wonders of living north of Cairns.

Here is a photo I took on a test drive.

Cheers,

Ken

I picked it up today. What a car!!
Spent the day going for a drive. Picked the son up from school, and dropped him home. Then picked my wife up from work, to get the car in town that I drove in. First time she has seen it. She seemed mildly impressed, which is saying something for her.

Thanks NineElevensies. I will check them out. It has definitely been a lot of fun to drive. This is the first sports car I have ever owned, and now I understand car guys. Never understood with my standard eco cars and passenger cars. I think I might have under estimated my yearly km quote. I have put another 2000km on the car since I picked it up.
