Well a sitrep.  The Cayman is a fantastic car, but with having the MK3 Golf, I found I was driving that more, and the Cayman was spending its time in the garage.

This is due to several reasons, I find the sports seats uncomfortable after 30 mins or so, due to an old back injury, which has flared up again recently (maybe due to the lack of lumbar?).  Also getting in and out of it recently was a chore, due to the door opening not being too wide, and the restrictive cockpit.  My physio has looked at my driving position, and she noticed the seating postion was offset to the right from the pedals, I had noticed this but was not really mindful of the effect it was having on my Roberta Flack.

I did some chatting with the long haired Sgt Major and also found out that she didnt like driving the Porker, or actaully being in it, she found it too pretentious, and didnt like the ride - least of my worries!   :evilgrin:

Anyhow, I have done a deal for the Porker and £500, and picked up a 4 month old 5K miles Scirocco R, rising Blue, LED RNS510, 19's, Rear parking, Folding mirrors, Dynaudio, and leather.  List £35K........

The drive is totally different from the Cayman, but the lumbar support is a godsend, and nice to have RNS again, the Porker Satnag is awful to be truthful, and a £100 TomTom is a better bet, the Bose in the porker was good, but first impressions of the Dyanudio (Led Zep on loud) are good.

The Roc also came with a good plate too!#

Hence the sale of the MK3 too!  one thing I will miss is the noise of that 3.4 flat six.   :sad1:

I'm not surprised at all mate. I looked at getting a Boxster S a few years ago and was given one for the day to test drive... I took it back after 30 mins becuase my back was in agony.
I have yet to find a Porshe with a seat that is shaped for humans! The backrests seem to be concave which mean you can sit up straight.

if thats the car i think Dave i think you got yourself a bargain if it is the one from VW Bristol the guys sold it for an Exige  :happy2:

Yes indeed it is, from Lotus Bristol, also I had a try to get in an Exige today........................

Not a hope in hell.

The Porsche seats are very good laterally, the thigh and shoulder bolsters grip you well, however the seating position is slightly offset with the pedals, and the lack of decent Lumbar support meant that during a drive my back degenerated back to were it was a few years ago.  Really sad day, the Cayman was a fantastic involving drive, if only the seating postion was better.

The Rocco R is a car with a different focus, and the drive today was excellent, soundtrack was different though!

The Rocco R is a fantastic looking car, and I am well happy with the deal.  I paid in effect less than £26K!

That's a great deal Dave :happy2:

I was torn with getting an R, but I would have just gone down the same road again.

How is your back fairing with the RocR then?
Golf R gone.

Ok today, the seats in the Rocco are simialr to my Ed30, and they have electric Lumabr adjust, no probs today to speak of.

Just off into the garage to sort out the Passenger side mirror reversing function..................

Lots of options ticked on this car.
