Loving your channel, Joe - you appear to be living the dream! I must say, that whenever I watch an episode i can't help but think that Macauley is a real asset to your business as he just seems to get on with it - every small business needs a Macauley 👍

[@elliottpeters2996]

Personally, for about the same money, I would go for a 5.0 supercharged F Type. Now they do make a heavenly sound!!

[@timprice5]

But are not anywhere near the sports car the Cayman is. Have driven both and own a Boxster myself. F type is more tourer - and a great car - but not a patch on the mid engine fun the Cayman/Boxster are. But I agree on the sound. That 5.0 is beautiful to listen to over your shoulder when driving it.

[@maxflight777]

But will depreciate faster than the Porsche and cost twice as much to own.

[@tonyb1184]

It's a great usable power the 911 is great on a track where you can use all the power but a bit overkill for the roads IMHO. Lovely motor. I've also got 10 tickets for the RS5 which I hope helps young Jack out bless him.

[@jellalabad1842]

Going to work this morning I saw Macaulay driving the BM truck.. It made me smile. Thanks Joe for making interesting and fun content. Is the farm near the big balloon hanger?

[@ShiftingMetal]

Not a million miles!

[@gregfox9568]

You talk about Porsche Options .. my dad canceled an order for my mums Porsche 924 ( in 1980 ) because they wanted to charge £60 for a passenger side mirror…. He brought her a Lancia Beta Coupe ( in beige !!) instead .. the rear axle rusted into the boot while it was still quite young ( we did live by the sea which brings rust )

[@volt8684]

I had a lancia beta and a wheel fell off at speed. The wheel bolts snapped off in the hub due to corrosion.beautiful engine but waste of money died very young

[@Redducati1199]

Ive got a 981 GT4, hands down the best car I've owned and I came from a 991 C4S

[@marktaylor9678]

My last porshe was the 3. 4 boxster with the pdk gearbox............A truly fantastic car and good on fuel......forgot to say it was a 981 S

[@blackdogchris]

You show the way to get the information on a car before you buy..making it the smart way. Good buy..very nice car..that won't sit around for long. Great video on how to do it right.

[@rakeshtak]

Lovely motor. Great to see from the start, from bidding to McKorley filming pickup etc through to test drive. Free pops bangs and whistles!

[@kristian5009]

I really appreciate the time and expense it takes to transport the cars to Mexico for these road tests.

[@petewatson4093]

Nice, ive has 3 boxsters.... sound and handle amazing ❤

[@johnob1824]

go with platinium satin , a dark grey, go well with white, have them on mine

[@toms4097]

100% I do the same if I ever get black wheels refurbished because platinum or anthracite colours show that they are actually clean

[@Mattceeee]

This seems to have the Porsche sports exhaust fitted (PSE) which isn’t listed on the options. Not a cheap option and they do sound amazing. Standard car has the one bigger central pipe and no exhaust button on interior console.

[@D992]

Fitted by OPC after purchase. No Sports Chrono though 🤨

[@marktaylor9678]

Mine had that system ......brilliant sound when you opened the valves

[@Kingdonnerkebab]

Absolutely stunning looking and sounding car Joe. Your stock is superb at the moment.

[@koreanstallion]

Looks just like my 981S! I have Chrono pack with PSE. No gps. I love the car! Thank you for the video!

[@marekkonarzewski4543]

[@toms4097]

This is what I was waiting for 👍🏻 Next stop 718 GT4 perhaps/maybe. This one though is a decent bit of car for the money. Nice

[@Stirls]

Awesome car. 2.7 is so underrated. Everyone goes on about the great PSE sound and this size engine lets you get the most out of it without risking licence. Try the manual option on your PDK….. it’s quite satisfying changing via stick. It’s fast enough already 😮.

[@ortontom]

(I support an indi dealer) They are nice 981's. PDK service is due at 12 year mark, PSE (sports exhaust) can fail, check they open and close, engine mounts fail if its a Sports Chrono.....Great cars though. Important point its a convertible chassis in a coupe body so super stiff feel!

[@mrd64]

It's interesting to see you going for the more exotic, higher-end stock, while High Peak appears to be going the opposite way.

[@johnmcmahon4364]

WOW what a SUPERB car you are so lucky to be able to drive all these nice cars

[@HandyDandy4u]

Does your margin allow for minor repairs? These cars always have a few small things. If you keep it, change the PDK fluid at least every 6 years or 60k, regardless of what the manual says. Door cards and headliner are common problems too

[@Adrian-wt5ev]

Nice one Joe - more content like this please - love the auction process. Sure it will sell fast.

[@f1kwa399]

Wheels have to be silver… HPI check said they are 20” but auction site says they are 19”, if that’s correct, what colour were the originals?

[@ShiftingMetal]

Interring, I’ll double check tomorrow!

@@TheWhiff12 Yeh is funny that. KZbin and getting comments clicks, the 20 years I've traded we all in the auction block physical played down our gains. We didn't have a following to maintain though. Just raw in hall competition.

[@MrDominicharrison]

Thrashed these around Thruxton, handling is perfect! Not much power but great car otherwise. Mitsubishi evo for similar money is quicker, just a different look

[@markwhitcombe8670]

I love jaguar XE or Classic XJ6 4.2 DAIMLER SOVEREIGN

[@MrRoyck10]

I have owned a Cayman 987.2 and now a 981 Cayman, nice cars but the 987.2 was becoming too expensive to keep it going faultlessly on the road. The 981 is a clear step up mainly in the chassis dynamics where the brilliant 987.2 shows its age, nice cars but the 981 is more reliable due to its age but you best to keep a slush fund, if you think is a poor man’s P car own it and see.

Lovely selection of cars your getting in Joe👍🏻

[@marks7471]

18,05 You can't park there mate 😀 I don't really understand why someone would put a Porsche in an auction, my first thoughts are that it failed the Porsche approved test and needed loads of dosh spending on it.

[@gadgetboy38]

Hi Joe, who do you use for your windscreen repairs? I'm in W-S-M and need one re-fitted to a mk2TTs As it has become unbonded to the car.

[@neilblondell4235]

Wouldn’t it be better not to bid so often during the auction….it kinda bids up the price, better to jump in when ‘going once…..’ or similarly as late as possible?

[@ShiftingMetal]

Maybe, maybe keeping the pressure on the other bidder will put them off earlier... Bit of a dark art really and time is money 😂

[@timprice5]

Combe is such a boring track though for an out and out sports car like the Cayman. It favours stuff with big power particularly at Quarry and Camp. Something a bit more technical would be ideal for it. Goodwood is a great little circuit for the Cayman and surprisingly undulating as flat as it appears in videos.

[@nurburgringobsessed5722]

@@timprice5 I only said Combe because it’s local to the garage 👍🏻

@@nurburgringobsessed5722 yeah fair point, just not sure you'll get the best from the car there. Thruxton could be a good shout which is relatively local.
