After 15 months of glorious ownership, just a note to say i've said goodbye to my 718 Cayman GTS.

This was my 1st Porsche and I feel very lucky to have owned it. It was a beauty, manual, agate grey with lots of stealthy additions. Sadly with two young boys, I found myself mainly driving it on my own, which meant not very much! So out goes the 718 and in comes a car i've dreamt of since I was a little car obsessed lad - a 911.

For those on the fence about the 718, don't be. Ignore the YT videos, the random comments about the noise by people that haven't driven it (or just don't like a F4) instead try it and you'll never regret it.

The handling was unbelievable, steering so intuitive and engine response was incredible - not vicious but linear, controllable and very progressive and fast. It's a car you can live with on the limit, but you have to drive it there. It loves being driven.

The oh so discussed sound? It sounds like a little racing car. I loved it.

Now I have a 991.24S, it's wonderful and i'm just learning how to live with it. New chapter, no regrets just fond memories! Fantastic little car.

Congrats and nice summary, where are you based in the UK as a handful of us meet quite regularly and we have a very busy WhatsApp group

Just down in Weybridge, where are you guys based? Weirdly not many of my mates are petrol heads so opportunities to drive are few and far between

Congratulations on your newest acquisition; enjoy and drive in the best of health.

Thanks Porsche 2018, keep up the good work on the Forum. By far the best one I've been part of. I'll still be visiting.

Congratulations on the 911, I love my Carrera T manual. At least you’re staying in the Porsche family. Enjoy it

Another 991.2 owner - congratulations! They are quite different to the 718, maybe a bit more grown up and responsible, but they still have a wild side!

Sad to see you go @UKGTS If you need a drive, take @Gtipirelli on the offer to meet. I come from further east than you and still try to make most of these events Enjoy the 911

AJ, can you put UKGTS in touch with Uzzi so he can join our WhatsApp group as that is where we tend to arrange most of our meet-ups these days. I have forgotten Uzzi’s username on this forum

Most of us are midlands based but we re slowly venturing further afield. See post above about how we normally arrange meet-ups. There are about 8 of us. Would love to see the 911.

Sent @UKGTS a PM.

Thanks guys, much appreciated! From Midland's originally, so may be familiar roads... I'll pick up DM
