Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

Although I have a manual with the wart on the dash[&:] I am not convinced this option is really necessary as the standard cars like this one have a nicer throttle mapping as standard but a less aggressive feel when our sports chrono button is activated which is something I rarely do especially if pottering around I certainly wouldn't miss it if I went for a carbon bucket car that didn't have it and very much doubt I would bother with a retro fit Glad to see flat6 has got into what a clean wheel and tyre should actually look like [ORIGINAL: flat6 There are now pics of the Bristol car. Just noticed it doesn't have sport chrono. How much is that to retrofit?I hope they're reading on here as i'm doing them a favour telling them they need to clean up that newly fitted tyre[>:]

Although at the concours demonstration we had at R18 on Wednesday night, I learned that your wheel has a potential point loss making opportunity. Can anyone say what is "wrong" with Rob's wheel?ORIGINAL: daro911 Glad to see flat6 has got into what a clean wheel and tyre should actually look like [
The car should be parked with the crest turned the right way up? (and lifted to line up all 4 wheels!)ORIGINAL: rob.kellockAlthough at the concours demonstration we had at R18 on Wednesday night, I learned that your wheel has a potential point loss making opportunity.

Hi Gents! I actually went to view/drive the Bristol OPC car yesterday. The wheels are actually due a refurb (minor scuffs) and new rear tyres (correct spec) havent been fitted yet. The rest of the car inside & out is pretty immaculate and it drives perfectly. Has only had minimal time on rev range 1 and 1 owner from new. However, didn't go for it in the end as I might have another opportunity. Will update you all once I have the news confirmed.

http://flatsixes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/2010-my-997-turbo-paddle-shift-for-pdk.jpg Was looking at the PDK wheel on the Mid Sussex car and it shows a different style to the one posted . I take it it is the same gear box just a different wheel prefer the ones with the paddles at the back right for up shift and left for down . On the subject off wheels could you guys with the black wheels post up a close up picture of one as i may go down that route ?? but want to keep the silver outline and silver inner,do not want all black but may be easier to keep it looking cleaner . Also the comment of the car at the track with grill rad guards any contacts for a company that do them .as feel the rads are very venerable. Questions questions [][] Gee Force thanks for the update i can see another person joining the fold []
