Thought it might be. Bet you felt a right tool taking those photos but I'm sure the wider forum and Spyderboys world wide are glad you took one for the team!!
Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!
- Thread starter daro911
- Start date
Doors Open, I'm Off - if you know what I mean![ORIGINAL: jdpef356 I know what you mean when you describe hoping from one model to another. This I love to-do. [] I can start at either end and drive 1964, 1985, 1997 and 2004 and it really is a delight to feel the different models as they move through the decades. The sun shinning today and I might just do that!

Flat6 You asked so nicely here is another and I am now off too join John in spirit and give my Spyder a nice 40 miles blast whilst we are still salt and snow free on our roads down Souf [8D]ORIGINAL: flat6daro911. I like these pics of old and new. Got any more?[ORIGINAL: daro911
John, that is absolutely lovely.
In the past a post or pre Christmas dinner blast has been doable and whilst it hasn't been the luck of the draw in recent years I live in hope [ORIGINAL: flat6 John and daro911, you are lucky. We're freeeezing up here![&o] I reckon that's your last 'dry' run for the year daro[
] It was 5' here this afternoon with very strong winter sunshine too and you will be pleased to hear a very nice young guy in his 997 C2 Gen 1 with his two young kids in the back was eager to tell me at a set of lights my car looks amazing and it was the first! Spyder he has ever seen in the flesh [8D]. For a minute I felt like John in his fabulous 356 well chuffed
About 45 grand? [
][][]Thanks VITESSE. I'd love to do a review on the beautiful new Cayman but i'm guessing only the Porsche Post team review the new cars? Although, I may have already forfeited that chance by telling Porsche that they should have sprung a surprise with the brilliant new Cayman[&o]. I'd like to drive it to find out what subtle strengths they've enriched it with[

The dilemma between a 981 would be the 997TT gen 2 pdk now starting around £70k which seems good value . I do really like a soft top though and certainly wouldn't go the 991 cab route currently as I don't think it's worth the premium over the 981 . We will see what's out there in the spring when I have more idea of how many pennies will be left after the Poole build finishes . If a nice black spyder came back on the market I would still be VERY tempted!! And maybe get a 997 pdk for the weekly commute ?
Nice black Spyder now you're talking [
]. Take it from the Spydermen here you won't regret it should you take the plunge and in latter years you will be glad to have had it on your Porsche CV it's a real feel good purchase that keeps petrol heads very excited when they encounter one in the flesh
Sounds perfect, if a tad greedy [] A pal of mine has said since the day I got it that my Spyder would be ideal... if I had a 911 as well! Flat6, don't let Vitesse flatter you, he'll have you spinning around Oulton before you can blink...

Thanks Rob - She is part of the family. Had a lovely run down the A14 yesterday and then off through some country roads and villages. Kids waving (anyone think I was driving around in Noddy's car) that should draw some comments. [
] Did not happen yesterday but a couple of years ago on a very cold bright winter Sunday morning we were out for a run. I was being followed by a Black Jaguar which looked like it had a chauffeur driver. Anyway, after a couple of miles the car pulled along side and held station at around 60mph. The rear window then opened and an Elderly lady (I mean 80 plus and some) proceeded to lean half her body out. With a great beaming smile on her face she waived her arm and gave me a thumbs up. After a few seconds she got back to her seat, gave me a final wave and the window shut. If ever I saw a 356 owner she was one. It may well have been the fifties or sixties since she owned one, but she did. Anyway picture from the back end. Enjoy your Porsche whatever you drive![][]
