Practice makes perfect but in my case its usually just washing off dry weather motoring dust and debris no hose involved[&o] Just washed and nothing more than a bucket required for the H20 part of the process

Yeah but bet you cleaned above the windscreen and round the red hoops on the boot nicely ;-)
 
Thanks Rob, at work with a slow internet connection so it's taking some time to upload. As for the Spec, it's White, Short Shift, Buckets, Spyder Wheels, AC, PCM with Phone, PSE, Here is the link for Photo bucket: http://s1289.photobucket.com/user/Stuartelec/library/
 
Excellent, looks just like mine and Rob's. White ones are faster, the paint is lighter! Presumably you chose to go down the route of Spyder only badging? I've kept mine as it was but am quite tempted to go down that route. Believe the short shifter is a good choice too.
 
Yep, looks good in the Go Faster White, I chose to go down the Spyder only badging route as i think it looks cleaner and less fussy on the rear, The Short Shift is great, i really missed having it, it's a joy to be in a manual again. Mine was the one that was for sale in Bristol, they dropped the price the day before i walked in as i see it was up for a lot more. It's funny that there a now two in the town where i live, Mine and Geeforce's. We live just around the corner from each other as well, so looking forward to going out for a few drives with him.

Welcome onboard[:)] What were you driving before Spyder and how does it compare? What made you choose your car over the others for sale? Sorry to bombard you with questions but we're building a bit of a knowledge base of who's buying them and what spec they go for. Stick around and you'll become a Spyder market expert too[;)] If you want to post pics, click on 'Quote' on Homerdog's post and you'll see the format.

The Cardiff/Bristol dealership did that when I bought. They knew I was driving over to see a black one at Cardiff but were moving the Bristol car so I could see that too. Bristol car dropped 3k overnight, not surprisingly they wouldn't budge much further!!
 
Hi Brian, didn't see that, good spot. Funny reflection or ninja fox.

Thanks for the info on posting pics. Don't worry about bombarding me with questions, always happy to chat about cars. Before the Spyder i was driving a 2007 911 Turbo with a tiptronic box but this left me a bit cold as i felt removed from the driving experience, before the Turbo i had owned an E46 M3 SMG and a 2005 911C4S with Short Shift and PSE. Before then, due to the nature of my work at the time, i had generally run a series of bangers. The Spyder purchase was a total impulse, i had been to the Bristol OPC to sort out the service on my 911 and the Spyder was sat in the showroom, i hadn't ever seen one in the flesh before, (Two days after buying it GeeForce drives past me), I was blown away with how pretty the car is. Managed to get a test drive there and then and fell completly in love with it. Took me all of ten mins and and a quick chat with my better half and it was mine. What did it for me was the way it handled and how much i felt part of the driving experience, it put the fun back into driving for me after the, i suppose, seriousness of the Turbo. Couldn't ask for a better toy. It ticks all my boxes in what i wanted from a car.

Great story, you have to get the Spyder that's for sure, I still get the hairdresser comments, it's tiring so much so I think the debadging of the Boxster logo on the back might have to happen as many have. At least I will admit it's to remove the Boxster name and not for looks lol ;-p
 
I got a few comments from people I worked with about it being a hairdressers car and why did I swap it from a so called mans car. A lot more had nothing but good things to say about it. It tends to be people who are not that into cars who roll out the hairdressers comments.
