Not as gay as a 370Z, that's for sure.

2 threads, and twice you've mentioned Gays now.

Think you must be a closet Homosexual in denial? Thinking that by calling other people Gay, it somehow makes you not Gay.

Just let it out, come out. We won't take the p1ss on here, promise.

Well, I was giving you another chance for a good comeback...looks like i'll have to make a third reference at some point whilst you give it more thought.
(btw, it was gay/gayher car)

The Cayman is still Porsche's best performing (pcp residuals) model..

A Ltd edition one would prob equate to great value for money per mile..(for a Porsche of course)

I'm not sure Trout, I was in last week looking at a new diesel Cayenne and that's what the finance guy told me.

My 2006 Cayman had a guarantied 3rd year residual of £20k (so allowing for safety margins that would be £25k?)

initial cost of £38k, so a yearly depreciation of £4k'ish.... not too shabby.

Edit to add: checking Porsche stock 56 plates Caymans are all £26k-£30k depending on mileage, so even better
