Cayman Islands News, Articles and InformationFlights Headache for CALIsland Air (IA) saved the day on Little Cayman Friday 16 June when the only Cayman Airways Express Service aircraft currently operating had technical problems that delayed flights for most of the day.Though the Cayman Airways Jet Service runs four flights weekly to Cayman Brac, the Express is the only scheduled airline that services Little Cayman, since IA ended their scheduled service to the Sister Islands in June 2005. At the time, IA announced it was unable to compete against the government subsidized CAL Express Service, and has since concentrated on the charter market. Manager of the Express Service Thom Guyton said disruption to the schedule on Friday was caused by a radio glitch. "There were minor avionics squawks. Everything was not perfect and everything has to be perfect," he said. What Contest?Generally speaking, Porsche owners don't have anything left to prove, either to themselves or to the world. They've already made it. They've got money, but they've also got enough self-confidence that they don't have to embark on the mine's-bigger-than-yours sort of contest which marks the world of fast-car buyers.It's nice to have a Porsche badge on the front of your car, but it's even better to drive the vehicle. So, while Porsches are indeed status symbols, they are also some of the most satisfying cars ever built, from a driver's point of view. Probably more than any other marque, Porsche's products are put to the test: Porsche drivers regularly take their charges out onto the track and push them to the limits. (At a recent Porsche Club Kyalami track day, one of the participants remarked: "What car could you drive to the track, thrash it for 15 or 20 laps and then drive home again?") So, it's no surprise to see the prominent stopwatch mounted centrally on the dashboard in the new Porsche Cayman S.

Take a Drive on the Wrong Side of the Road With Humorist and New ...Texas humorist Diana Estill releases her first book, Driving on the Wrong Side of the Road (Brown Books Publishing). This compilation of 55 amusing tales recently earned a four-star review from ForeWord Clarion reviews. Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 25, 2006 -- To get where you want to go, sometimes you have to change course. That message was driven home for Texas author and newspaper columnist Diana Estill when she vacationed in Grand Cayman, where cars keep left—and tourists frequently forget. In her first book, Driving on the Wrong Side of the Road: Humorous Views on Love, Lust, and Lawn Care (Brown Books Publishing Group, Inc.), the author shares her admittedly skewed views on everything from foreign car rentals to designer dogs and toilet repairs. The book, which hilariously details the experience of driving a British "Beanmobile" in the left lane, is scheduled for release June 10, 2006.
