Looking forward to scouring these forums and getting to know all of you. I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area and can't wait to run my Cayman down my favorite NorCal loops.

Not planning to get any major mods right away; just some exterior accessories (Zunsport grills; storage and hood liners; PPF). I'm hoping that I'll
like the factory-mounted tires, though...
Thanks for joining. I am also a former Audi owner (S4 and RS3). I am a current GTS 4.0 owner - best car I’ve ever had. Please post a review once yours arrives. :angel:

DBroadwell; new member. Recently bought a 2013 981 Boxster S, 28K miles. Love that it's now a project car. Retired, LOVE the car !! Goes like stink! corners like stink! what's not to Love? Have QuickJacks, next will be spark plug and coil pack replacement, adding rear-view camera, fixing tach backlight because it's not readable, and replacing the stock exhaust with a TopGear (topgear.co.uk) header and valved exhaust (an interesting note, Soul just purchases their exhausts from them and sells them for $4000 whereas direct from the UK the're $1700 - but they don't supply instructions or support).

Do send pictures and assuming you are in the UK, love to see some of the little topless beast carousing in the countryside.

Hi great to be on this web site. Current fun stuff is a 2022 Turbo S cab and a Sherco 300 cc trials bike. Looking for a 930 but prices are getting away from me. Looking forward to the interactions and tech educational opps.
Thanks
