Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

There's a tequipment option for mirrors with the bottom half in silver. You could use that theme but with gold instead? Mike Trotter from the Cumbrian half of R18 has them on his 987S.
As there is so little banter today let me add this which someone randomly posted today on Facebook 
PS: Beeen to the R6 meeting tonight and the Welsh Wales road I drive down to get there kept a smile on my face all the way in the "R" 
She certainly has humps in the right places.ORIGINAL: daro911Good find Andy and I think you get first prize for the best Spyderwoman to date .... Unless John can pull something better out of his collectionORIGINAL: Andy Fagan As there is so little banter today let me add this which someone randomly posted today on Facebook

Decision made... Painting the lower arm of the mirror in WeissGold as per above suggestions - thanks for the input. Should be going in tomorrow and back with me for Sunday - now just hoping for good weather at Wings & Wheels. Am going to be doing some runs along the runway, so obviously need the roof of as will be doing more than 125mph - so sunshine would be nice! Funnily enough - since buying the Spyder - the roof has never been on!
That's a very nice quick turnaround by your paint shop guys and I think that lower arm only is really going to "pop" as they say over in the USA[
] Hope you get us some good footage of the runs please[] No pressure [] I never had my roof up until flat6 suggested after 2 years in my boot it may be in need of some stretching back into shape fortunately it went on or is it up dead easily fitted like a glove and was wrinkle free. I ran the car for a couple of novelty weeks in that mode before taking the roof back off and off it has been ever since On around Christmas day off again in mid January [8D]

Thanks Daro - yes I will definitely use the car hroughout winter - as think they are better with a regular drive than sitting in the garage unused - so the roof will e making an appearnce towards teh end of the year - and it is a good idea to keep it in shape for a while. Paintshop yes - they were very good and are gonna throw some people at it to get it done in time for me..... Am looking forward to the results - I am not one for modding my cars - my last , the F430 Spider was absolutely original - but hopefully, these little touches I have made won't make me look like a 'Saxo' type of dirver! Hopefully they will remain subtle enough - will know in a couple of days!!!
Don't forget to post some pictures, I think it will look good.
Andy it would be really good if you could test your "R" back to back with one of the local Spydermen and see how similar or different the driving experience proves to be in the real world from your view http://www.excellence-mag.com/issues/196/articles/open-and-shut-case-track-test#.UhXp9tKsiSoORIGINAL: Andy Fagan PS: Beeen to the R6 meeting tonight and the Welsh Wales road I drive down to get there kept a smile on my face all the way in the "R"
An interesting video, but doesn't make much sense if the cars are on the same tyres. You can only assume there was a difference in the geo's? Maybe the spring rates are different making the Spyder slightly more compliant? With the added rigidity and slightly lower weight you would expect the Cayman R to perhaps be the slightly better handling car at the margin? Both great cars etc....but don't really see how it is an open and shut case? I can imagine an average driver would not be able to notice too much difference, other than one is breezier than the other. []

It wasn't the best type of track to do a test on though, not too many circuits need 1st gear
