Indeed[:)] It was a pic from Porsche's own marketing gallery. I guess they were trying to tell us something about who should buy this car. Still, the £144K 997 Speedster's roof isn't any quicker and you still have to pull over. I'd rather have the Spyder roof. It's actually fun to do[:)] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H1rAzaM8gY
 
ORIGINAL: rob.kellock Perfect recipe for a caption competition: Him: "don't worry love, it's just a passing shower". Her "I told you that leaving the roof at home to save weight was a bad idea".
[:D]I think they were trying to warn us that you'd need a bit more dedication than a standard Boxster, but went overboard and should've balanced it with showing how good the roof actually is. This is mine getting washed when I had it detailed. My mate treated it as he would any soft top and it was fine. The soap and water was applied with his jet gun.

[:D] Not quite, but I did have 2 polite lads knock on my door, with a dirty bucket of water, asking if they could wash my car. I had to decline.[:D]
 
ORIGINAL: rob.kellock That's Iain Brown's place in Rochdale isn't it? What do I win?
You're right, but my memory is good enough to know you cheated.[;)] It's at his new premises in Chadderton.
 
[:)] They were about 12 years old. They did also have a washing up liquid bottle. Don't know what was in it - didn't ask!

You're lucky to have multiple Spyders in the family[:)]. I think was 3? I'll be lucky to see another Spyder once or twice a year at club events.

Bit harsh [:D]
Hopefully received in the jovial spirit that was intended [:)] What's going on with Bramley's car[&:]. Either they don't want to sell it or they know something we don't about the way the market is heading as the supply shrinks.
