Microbrush Applicators far better dirt cheap and tiny heads perfect for touch ups. Your Porsche kit brush will be the way not to go get the microbrushes they are brilliant http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=microbrushes&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=28636487460&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1878711751575218814&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_3mmq0ee792_b

tempting, who have you booked with ?

It's on my bucket list, one day I will definitely go. This year my certificate of leave, signed in triplicate by the Mrs, has only been granted for the Le Mans Classic and PCGB day at Anglesey. I have discovered that if I book Classic Le Mans through Porsche Club France I can go and do a lap on the Saturday morning - for 150 Euros. On the one hand that looks very dear, on the other it's a small price to pay for a lifelong memory!

Goldtrack seem to be doing it. [link]http://www.goldtrack.co.uk/track-days#Apr2014[/link]

Yes, that's the one. Their on site parking / display was great in 2012 and their hospitality facilities looked nice too. Haven't booked anything yet as our group is finalising numbers and I may be passengering in an Aston Martin Rapide instead of taking the Spyder this time.

Very nice [] Reminds me of my own, with the 'launch spec' black wheels [8D]

Not wishing to scare monger but if you go to the 987 section of the Tequipment catalogue and look at the wheels available for any model for current purchase, you have a lot of choices but the Boxster Spyder wheel ain't one of them. If this is correct, the availability of the new wheel my be on its way out. So, those who own a set, look after them[]

They are still in the parts catalogue circa £1090 for the fronts and £1800 for each rear. [&:]

This is an information service we're providing [] And to think these wheels were included in the price but all the other wheels came at extra cost if you didn't choose the Spyder wheel. If you subsequently changed your mind that would be a very costly mistake!

 

[rob.kellock]

Ker-Ching!!

Yep I've booked via Goldtrack also looking at DN10 nurburgring trackday in july... as they use the F1 garages at the top that can fit 6 cars in Spyder wheels seem cheaper here but no option of painting them black [link=http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/porsche_alloy_wheels/boxster_987_gen_2_alloys/19_porsche_spyder_wheel_1759]http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/porsche_alloy_wheels/boxster_987_gen_2_alloys/19_porsche_spyder_wheel_1759[/link]

You can get them painted by www.exelwheels.co.uk for circa £540 or if you can spare the car for a few days directly by http://www.lepsons.com/ Checkout the lspsons gallery to see some stunning workmanship far better than factory finish[]

Hi Rob, I've booked for the Classic as well, first time there. We are staying at the PH site at Blue Nord, be good to have Spyder twins down there! I'm debating buying a parade lap ticket because I've seen a few videos of bumps and scrapes on these laps, they're really just a free for all and that puts me off a bit. Anyone got any first hand experience of this? We've got a pretty good convoy heading down, Spyder, Countach, F430, Bentley Speed GT, E-Type and a couple of 911's. I think the Countach may take a bit of attention off the Spyder...... Ian

Nice! There were no incidents on the Porsche parade lap in 2012 with a good variety of cars old and young taking part. Just seems very dear to me. Having never driven round it before, I'm not sure I'd get the most out of it anyway but it would be an amazing experience. There were a couple of Spyders parked up with Porsche Club France, an amazing display of hundreds of Porsches and I saw at least one on the parade lap. Numbers for our group have been reduced due to the pulling power of Mark Webber and the return of Porsche to the 24 hour this year but I don't think our convoy was ever going to beat yours! It's a great adventure, just the queue for the ferry was better than most car shows!

150 Euros for an experience like that isn't too bad. It's easy enough to spend that money on a night out and not even remember it! [&:]

 

[rob.kellock]

I did seriously regret not having sorted it last time and was very envious watching all the Porsches lining up to go out. As you say, for the cost of a night out it's a lifelong memory.
