Nice to see your son has the Serge non-grin down!
Ha, serious guy! Actually he is the family clown for sure. Great sense of humor.

Any more news on the GT3 John?

Did I mention that the 103k for the base Boxster is AFTER the recent price cut!! :P

bargain if you lived in Australia were the drive away price for a cayman S with no options is $155,000

According to a guy who spoke to his dealer in Austin, the U.S. dealers will receive their allocation information sometime next week. If true, that will tell them when each of their allocated cars is scheduled to be produced. First cars for the U.S. are still supposed to hit in November/December of this year.

There's a used one for sale at my BMW dealer that caught my eye. Headed for Montana on Wednesday. Would be a fun drive. Heck, was in a hurry so just assumed this is a Cayman! LOL!

Never driven one. Sounds like they have some kick to them. Comfort, driving position my issue. Thoughts?

Is that a 981 or 987? Looks like the latter?

I've driven a manual 987 Boxster S and I really think Porsche has nailed the man machine interface. It isn't fast but it's poised and balanced and feels more like an extension of you.

I'd prefer an older 911 turbo personally.

The 2014 Porsche Cayman looks good.
