    Walked into a Cayman commercial shot tonight in LA

    Just walkin' with my lady earlier this evening and we bump into a closed-off street for a commercial being filmed. No big deal, it happens a lot around here, but we're also *locals* so we walk through the police cordon and make way past...

    And find ourselves in the midst of a:

    CAYMAN NIGHTIME COMMERCIAL!

    Such a funny moment--There it was in silver, looking very much the hip-new Boxster IMO, making some practice turns in front of a highly-disguised new M-Class Merc with camera assembly attached to it as extra added bonus--

    Weirdness.

    My big blunder for everyone was not having my cellphone with me, which is beyond extraordinarily rare!!

    I would've shot VIDEO for everyone, argh!!!

    OK, no pics, and a rather distracting story, but one I thought somehow important to share my with anonymous best friends here at RENNTEAM...




    Moral of the story: ALWAYS CARRY YOUR NOKIA VIDEOCELLPHONE WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES!!

    Why was there a disguised M Class?

    i gotta say it looked great--

    then again, it was TURNING the entire time!!

    i concur with most here that strictly from its side, well, its the bastard-child that Porsche's marketing dept. could only dream about, but it has rather voluptuous ends and its pose is also quite unique--even attention-getting

    Zürich: no idea about that M Class--its funny, that was the first vehicle i saw and my instinct was it could be a disguised G??? then from right behind came the lil' alligator scurrying around the corner, and it was clearly the show-stealer from there. my only guess was two shoots in one with both cars??? not likely.

    That happened to me a few years ago except it was the new Mercedes SLR. In my nieghborhood and my daughters' school, filming is done all the time and to see a Hollywood starlet is no big deal. Same at restaurants, I was having dinner in Chinatown once on Mother's Day, and Dustin Hoffman was waiting with his mother and family for our table.

    Malmsteen: i suspect Porsche's marketing guys would rather bait the waters more, if you know what i mean...
