Right car, wrong purpose.

Sometimes in life we come across meterial things that we love so much that we can't let go of the first weeks we own them. This guy who have probably been driving a Golf the latest years have finally manage to scrape together enough money to buy himself his first Porsche.
He seem to have been so proud of his crocodile he just want to show the whole world that he is now owns a Porsche, while touring around with a camping wagon which should really be hooked up to a Cayenne

?
Idiocy or pride? You decide.

LOL, crazy I'm sure he won't be enjoying any mountain roads with a caravan on the back!

I'd say this is Idiocy!

PS!
There's no reason why the suspension of the Cayman shouldn't be bottomed out pulling that trailor.

Actually, with a properly laden trailer only about 50 to 75 kg of the weight is on the towbar so that wouldn't be a problem. However, fitting a towbar on a Cayman would be practically impossible because the car has a central exhaust.

There isn't even a towbar on the Cayman options list.

Well, that guy seems to have been able to do something.

Have you heard of the oldies who go campervan touring around the country - SUV or something, towing a caravan, or one of those motor homes? On a trailer behind it, they have a small car to drive around once they reach a new area to live in.

This could be similar - tow it to the place, then drive around in your Cayman. Odd, by why not?

Should have bought a 911 instead though. That'd solve the central exhaust problem..

I think the Cayman looks very sexy.
