Looks very nice congrats.
Yes your right anything limited or a bit special not a chance in hell of getting one, tried with about 3 models now only to be insulted by offering other models I never even asked about.
This overs is out of hand even at main dealers say for instance like the 25th edition averaging 10k /15k over what it was brand new.
Takes some people's budget out of reach this overs and denies a car for the true enthusiasts.
Top tip the Esso card.
Enjoy the new car looks fantastic.[

Question for 718 Spyder folk who have junked the standard PSE for something more vocal Did your insurance premium go up for making a modification to factory specification
I ask as my new silent (Petrol Particulate Filter[]) daily driver needs an exhaust change and Classicline have come back with a new premium for £47 odd more than the agreed figure due to exhaust swap
Anyone had this experience with there 718's

I have fitted JCR noise reducing tips to my ClassicLine insured GT3 & incoming GT4 with no reduction in the premium.

Any pleasure and leisure we once had in everything is going.
Fast forward 2 weeks and today its £8.31 per gallon [
] so my short blast in the sun for pure fun just cost me circa £10[&:]Happy days NOT!
Oils dropping like a stone was 130 a barrel now it's 102 and dropping, was this price 2 weeks a go ,should show in the pumps at lower prices tomorrow. Seen 154.9p TODAY !!
so not really an issue . about £7 more to fill up the tank from the lows ! £7.04 a gallon here already.
Just done a further check on line Esso near me is £1.459 £6.63 a gallon and with esso you use your PCGB WEX card and get some more money off

Oil prices fell below the $110 per barrel mark early on Monday after China locked down several cities because of a surge in COVID cases and Russia and Ukraine separately signaled progress in talks that continue today.
As of 7:30 a.m. EDT on Monday, [link=https://oilprice.com/oil-price-charts/#WTI-Crude]WTI Crude[/link] was down 5.75% at $103.12 and [link=https://oilprice.com/oil-price-charts/#Brent-Crude]Brent Crude[/link] was falling by 4.92% to $107.13.

Congrats MrD on the Spyder, looking forward to your thoughts compared to 981 gt4/spyder. Got a gts on order if it ever comes but just not feeling it. So may hunt down a spyder but want one with folding buckets and no black wheels
718 is a great car but with a lot of small niggles imo. And it does sound shit, even the vids of the 4RS sound dire. trying to fix them is harder than you think as no one wants to sell me anything ? Already had issue getting pads and had to get a refund on a 2nd set of wheels. Cargrapic is like watching paint dry dealing direct with them, and all UK based tuners have no stock of anything. USA dealers don't reply to emails. The 2 UK Manthey dealers charge 20% more than Manthey do direct. Whole thing is frustrating. 987.2 still the best car for UK road fun by a country mile.

Apart from the obvious crap sound what about the rest of the package over the 981?MrDemon said:
Agree on the 987 it is a real sore point that I moved mine on as it’s the perfect high days and holidays road car, just not feeling the new Porsche’s built post 9*7.2! And although I have ordered a Bgts which no doubt is a nice car but not a great car? I believe you know who owns my old Spyder now or has it been moved on? YS61***
Be interesting to know how it’s going?
As package it is leagues above a 981 imo.
better engine, better steering, better brakes, better chassis, better looks, newer car, apple play etc etc . GT3 font end, bigger tyres. PASM is good on this car, softer on bumpry roads PASM on works, unlike my GT3 I never touched PASM, you can turn it on in the 718 on better roads. It's trackable also and holds it own there. 981 you just have to like it for what it is, it's still a great car and still my other half'ss fav car I have had. Just was never for me not to run along side a 987.2 Spyder any way. So YS61 was yours, wow must be the best condition Spyder in the UK. My mate sold it to my other best mate. Great car, your 987.2 and It's been well loved by both my mates. Still mint as can be, imo the best one in the UK still. it now wears silver wheels over the black.

Yeh don’t rub it in
bit of history I bought it in December 2011 as pre registered (4miles on the clock) from Sheffield OPC in my ownership it was garaged hardly driven in the wet and carefully run in , i then sold summer 2015 with under 4K miles to fund the gt4, the chap who bought it from was a Porsche nut so was well cared for but I think he only did a few hundred miles before it went up for sale again so that’s the first 3 owners. I believe at one stage it was up for £60k about 2017/18. Plus it’s a rare 2012 model year (C)
To me the only thing that would make it perfect were Xenons it has everything else!
Great car but very sadly missed and I regret the day I sold it!

That’s been up for sale for months was originally up for I think about £95k!
Needs buckets imho to achieve £85k. Soon as you put miles on it your down to low to mid 70s
