Cayman Calendar by Porsche

I received a telephone call today from my friendly Porsche parts fellow, who informed me of a new Cayman Calendar that had just arrived at the dealership (Virginia, USA), so I stopped by and picked one up, it is super! Lots of nice illustrations of the Cayman with the 550 and the 904. You have to have this calendar with your collection, it is very nice.

How about uploading some pics from it here?

Would you mind mentioning the location of the Virginia, USA dealer if not the name?

The Cayman Calendar came form 'Crown Porsche' in Charlottesville, Va. USA [phone removed], ask for Jerry in the Parts Dept. The calendar comes with a CD with a super screen saver. I highly recommend this calendar, you all will love it. It is extremely well done.

I think it is too late for me to call now, but do you think they would mail one to Hawaii? I will be on it in the morning. Aloha Russ

I'm sure they will mail you a copy, and you will be very happy you called. In fact if I were you I would have them mail it overnight express. It will be worth the extra cost.

Johnny, What is the Porsche part # for this calendar so people can order from their local dealers too if they want?

My dealer has never heard even heard about it! I am sure I can get it myself a lot quicker. It seems tht news travels vary slow to Hawaii, we are ususally the last to know. I will give Crown Porsche my Fedex number first thing tomorrow morning. Aloha Russ

Johnny, Mind telling us how much the calendar cd stuff cost? Thanks Russ

I just called Crown Porsch and spoke with Jerry in parts and he is shipping me out UPS the calendar and a model scale Cayman that matching my order color. He called the calendar 'The Holiday Package'. The package with CD and scale model Cayman all came to $120 including freight to Honolulu, I did pay MSRP! Aloha Ha, Russ

Russk, When you get it please do us a favor and take a picture of it and post it here (the calendar I already posted pictures of the scale model) along with the part numbers please! Thanks,

Cayman Calendar item number is WAP0900316 for $60 (USD) which includes the Porsche Club discount from my dealer in Virginia.

K-Man, I will see if I can scan them when I get them and upload them to the site. UPS should arrive early next week if it goes out today as indicated by Jerry at Crown. Aloha Russ

There is a choice of three large-format decorative wall calendars, each one focussing on a different subject.[/quote][/quote] [/quote]The official Porsche calendar has as its motto ‘Welcome to the world’ and shows the current models on twelve different sites in Germany that bear resemblance to places and buildings of other countries: The Sächsische Schweiz, for instance, boasts a region stunningly resembling the mountain forests of Japan, while buildings on stilts at Lake Constance remind one of Polynesia; last but not least, the Valhalla near Regensburg is compared to the Acropolis of Greece.

The ‘Passion reloaded’ calendar was created by sports car designers working at the Porsche engineering centre in Weissach and offers an insight into their creative work. The attractive drawings that were taken from the styling studio depict Porsche Cayman sketches next to vintage mid-engine cars. The calendar measures 50 x 70cm and is accompanied by a CD-Rom with screen saver and a brief film that explains how the drawings were made. It costs €54.52, VAT included.

MPollard, Oh Nice! Thanks for sharing them. The Cayman sketch is incredible! I haven't got my calendar yet, but it is on its way. Aloha Russ

I have the calendar photos from Johnny and will upload them in the morning, been out of town again.

Thanks K! Looking forward to it. I also have mine in the mail from Johnny's dealer. Russ

Here from Johnny and Porsche are images from the Calendar. I'd like tosay that I think these pictures are great and that everyone should run out and buy one of these calendar for themselves!!!

K-Man & Johnny, Thanks for sharing! These are really nice, a little slow loading but worth the wait. I wasn't aware that there wasa 2005 Cayman ? Russ

Great comparison with the 550 that stole my heart as a kid and the Cayman . I think all of the first Caymans are 2005 models (at least that is what my salesman said).

Santa Fe, You mean 'were' 2005 models? We are all getting 2006 models aren't we? Our VIN should indicate 2006. Aloha Russ

Yeah, Cayman is an 06 model. Those pictures are great, I'm getting one!

I just received my calendar and the CD screensavers. It is beautiful and quite large. I didn't realized that it was a garage type calandar 18 x 28. I guess it will go above the thrown will Mr Cayman will sit looking gorgeous! Aloha Russ

BTW, the CD that comes with the calendar 'Passion Reloaded' is fantastic. It is a 3 dimensional mixed video with narration that I could watch over and over. It is titled and rightfully so, 'Shapes Designers Dream Of '. If someone knows a wayI can upload it to the site let me know, or I would be glad to send it to K-Man if he can do it. Aloha Russ

If someone knows a wayI can upload it to the site let me know, or I would be glad to send it to K-Man if he can do it. Assuming you are on a PC, Use Windows Explorer to view the files on the CD-ROM. you can upload files to Cayman Club using the Submit download feature. Caveats: only certain file types are allowed for uploading and there is a KB limit to how big the files can be.

If the file is a video the size may be too large for you to upload here (see limits in the files / submit form), the alternative is to send me a copy in the mail and I can post it to the server, or to put it up on some other hosting server and simply post a link here. Is there anyone out there that can host video files easily? This website doesn't have a lot of outgoing bandwidth and if everyone starts hitting a large video file at the same time it will slow to a crawl.
