Easiest way is to use photobucket or similar. Friday night. Beer mandatory... Have a good weekend.
You need to copy the IMG link. But then change IMG to

firstly excuse me i have just come from the pub! some of us need to understand porsche cycles! we are mid way 981 cycle so the gts is the mid waypoint and the runout 981.1! the next gen will be the 981.2 which we now know will be 4 pot and will be 2016 model year arriving mid 2015 with which if porsche make an r/spyder will come 2018/9 and will be 4 pot.as for steping on 911 toes and having 395 bhp there is not aproblem as one is flat6 and one is flat4 turbo.so 395 bhp is just around the corner but in f4 turbo form.audi ttrs anyone!!
Cleaning day today. I'm going to try a few ideas on the exhaust tips, however I wont be cleaning my wheels like this! 
As this is what they did between 987/997 Gen 1 & Gen 2 I see what you are saying could be the way the forward .... So a 981.2 will come in two flavours presumably standard & S and the hot shots with the 395bhp sometime between them and the all new next models 982 etc[&o]

A faster 981/982 could take over from the 911 as it becomes a GT style car, the rear engine is struggling against the most recent batch of its competitors and I believe a fast Cayman would be quicker round a track than a 911 with a similar engine etc. There is an interesting video on Youtube showing a Spyder against a GT3, on a track, the GT3 goes away on the straights and the spyder catches it at the corners. Problem is I don't think you can get 911 GT3 performance from 4 cylinders yet so I still think they need a 6 cylinder and mid engined car to take over from the fast 911s to compete against the like of the Nisan GTR. I can but live in hope!

Should have said the Youtube video is "Porsche Boxster Spyder VS 997GT3 MK2 Circuit Paul Richard"
There seems to be a massive difference in driver skills there []

Absolutely, but even making allowances the GT3 looks a handful in the corners unless the driver is very,very poor. Dynamically a flat engine in a mid engined car, properly put together, has to be as good as it gets.
This looks interesting if we want to start a little friendly side wager[] 4 Spyders currently for sale .. The 880 mile Leeds very late White high spec PDK with a price tag to match £46k Then we have another £42k+ White even higher spec PDK but with the very RED interior not to mention the White customised dial cases and door pull surrounds The final White Spyder has almost zero options other than the radio, white dials and short shift and a price tag of just under £36k Final Spyder is a Black example with great options but sadly also a Cat D classification and priced at £32k! Anyone private seller with a mint non Cat D example would probably have little trouble getting that sort of money considering what is available today £46k £42k £36k and £32k[&o] My money is going to go on the late expensive Leeds OPC Spyder followed by the basic spec 911 V £36k and then it's a toss up between the very RED / White PDK or the expensive IMO Cat D

Whoa!!! You can't just "pop in" to drop that bombshell. Hope you are buying another one []
