Hi Kenny sorry to see you leaving the fold so soon and have sent you a PM as I am trying to assist a wannabe Spyderman so you never know []

 

[spyderwhite]

i have often considered selling mine as i never seem to get the time to use it and i wont fire her up just to drive 2 miles down the road its always a least 20miles+.(currently on 2600 dry miles since new 12/11).it is imho a very good spec(if you prefer manual) albeit missing xenons.it is also of a very late build date hence very rare 2012 model year!but even if i went to the market mid to high £40s(which is not too badly priced when seeing older,high mileage,multi owner and lesser specs for low £40s) but what do i replace it with that has a unique body ,sublime handling and now its fully run in goes like a sh*t of a shovel when in the upper rev.band .nothing in the price bracket comes close in rarity,performance,practicality and the cost of running! so for now even though i dont use enough its a keeper

 

[MrDemon]

My issue also , sits unused but nothing else worth buying, even if I sell both and raise double the money still nothing else worth buying. But not quite 2.5k miles I am about 9.5k now but that's crazy low for a 4 year old car. It would take 50k to even make me think about selling it though.

I don't have an issue with my Spyder sitting in the garage most of the winter and rainy days in the summer. I would much rather use as I did last weekend. The forecast was good so a three day event down to the PCGB conference and AGM some lovely driving roads in the Cotswold's. Following a wash and polish she now sits back in the garage under the cover. I much prefer this way of using any 'special' car. Each time I use the car becomes an occasion and never fails to bring on a ear to ear smile []

Love it too, although it's taken a while to be completely converted. I now find it very satisfying to use and the performance advantage is obvious! []

The reason you can't get your head around modern technology might be because of people like this [][] TIP:- I found the only way this would play for me was to cut and paste it into my browser www.collegehumor.com/embed/6961066/how-it-feels-to-be-an-engineer-in-the-corporate-world-sketch
