We're doing a grand road tour this summer down to Florence and back. Part of the return is an overnighter in Courmayeur, and I'm seriously tempted to detour over to Tignes, where we went in January, to see what it's like without snow!
Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!
- Thread starter daro911
- Start date
I thought the same, but fortunately I seemed to intuitively remember the main ones. Ever since my first SLR in 1980, a Canon AV-1, I tend to shoot in aperture priority as I find it gives me all the creativity I need. On the 7D, the feature I use most is moving the focus point around with the toggle switch and find it very useful. I have considered full frame, but I like the combo of wide EF-S and telephoto EF lenses with the crop format.
I bought and EOS 400D a few years ago and I have never had it off fully automatic. Far too complicated for me so I tend to use my iPhone or a point and squirt pentax which takes an excellent picture.

Haha.. Somewhere on here its been noted that its white/red + manual + buckets...Rest is a bonus. That black one is nice but i've seen other Spyders come and go quickly. This has a nice spec but hanging around :/ Put it this way i would of bought the one at Top 555 if it had buckets that sold recently. Phil
Black ones not been for sale that long, it just seems long as the owner put it up private, then part exed it for a Aston (I think) at a dealer, now it's up at a dealer and only has been for less than 2 weeks now. Black has been a slow seller though , and of course non Spyder wheels. IF you could live with black, then getting wheels changes is a non issue at the right price as Turbo wheels sell for 1.5k and new wheels are 4.5k. and of course it has the PCCB's, buckets, PSE, sports mode so is a nice spec. Not sure I would want a car with AC though, just more weight and some thing more to go wrong, the AC rads always need changing and AC just seems daft in this car to me.
Thanks for the pic post Rob. To be honest that photo does not do it justice it looks more like J D 's when clean [ORIGINAL: daro911Your car is with one of our founder members aka "kitchens" Red/Buckets/Manual + A lot of the bonus stuff all you have to do is twist his arm
] If it were to be priced from my ownership the price would need to start with a FOUR [] Spec Manual ..Short Shift ..Buckets ..Spyder Wheels ...PSE ..Sport Crono ... Red Hoops ..Red Dials Red Belts Red Centre Consul ..Radio.. CD .. Climate ..Rear Park ..VTS Tracking ..and the all important 2 cup holders []. As far as i am aware one of only a handful Red ones in the U-K

Nice spec. Whats the mileage out of interest?
5.745 Bought in March 2013 with just 1,800 on it , It a Sept 2011 would be a 61 plate It was specked by the main dealer and due to its high price then £58K it was eventually sold with just 60 miles on it in March 2012 to the 1 st owner . I bought it a year later with 1800 miles it will give you a guide to what else is out there on price and spec .
Great pics. The water beading on your car shows what a smooth finish you've got on it[ORIGINAL: homerdog Went for a blast today, shame everybody else seemed to be driving like Miss Daisy! Took John's advice and got my camera out for some shots before it went back in the garage. [
]Looks better with the dirt on it as it shows it has been thoroughly enjoyed [ORIGINAL: Andy Fagan Well it was a nice day weatherwise but the roads were wet and muddy still. Went down through Ruthin to Cerrigydrudion and turned right up the Evo triangle but carried on past Llyn Brenig into Denbigh and then home BeforeAfter

He even says, "It knew what to do then"!! Must be the PDK taking over [ORIGINAL: daro911Nice find and good demonstration on how the PDK helps add speed on the road [
