    ...could probably start a thread about the accuracy of holding the cams with a pair of vice grips. :D:rolleyes:

    There was a slight grimace when I saw that! I even mentioned that there are cam lock tools out there, but I do trust these people so I am not too worried.

    I would not do that but if they do not move or damage anthing then it has suited its purpose i guess.

    Yes, sold the Boxster, in January in 3 days no less.

    The Cayman is a S. 325 HP, PDK with the sport steering wheel (paddles). Tan interior, heated, ventilated power seats. 16k miles on it when I got it. No nav (why??). It's a 2014, still under warranty for a few months. And it's immaculate, like new. I've been looking at 911 and Cayman for a couple of years. Almost bought a 911 last spring but the 3 cars I was looking at sold out from under me. Then talking to my local Porsche dealer convinced me the Cayman was actually the better performing car. Not faster, but better balanced. And considering the difference in price I decided to go with the Cayman. Still getting used to the PDK so I'll withholding judgment. It's continent to leave it in auto mode for around town. But put it in manual mode and put your foot in it and the thing flies. Shifts are almost too smooth, even in Sports mode. Due to the summer performance tires and the cold, dirty roads around here I haven't pushed it too hard yet, but I have gotten it a little sideways before the stability control kicked in. Seat of the pants it feels a lot quicker than the 355, mostly because you put you foot down and pull the paddle at 6.5k and there isn't any hesitation at all. Advertised specs have it a little quicker. Independent test have it about 0.5 sec quicker to 60 and I believe it. It's my new daily driver, as long as the roads are free of snow and sand. Had it for two weeks, 300 miles so far.

    Finally got a chance to reinstall the center console and vents, most refinished by Dave at Sticky_Rx but some oem (new - I know, will have to eventually refinish, but challenge you to even tell the difference.) Looks like it’s 1997 again and the refinish and laser tech work by Dave are just fantastic in person - photos really don’t do it justice...also framed the bespoke floor Matts by Andrew at Exoticare...stunning in tone on tone Alcantara with embroidered Cavallino...and finally took it out for its first of the season drive in the sunset - come on Spring!

    Thanks much to this community for where I find all these great resources and clever people!
