Good move! (And quick) We're opposite sides in Notts so will probably never be seen on the same road at the same time...ORIGINAL: philnotts99Sorry ;0pORIGINAL: zyp Looks very nice Rob. Just hope no one in Notts buys your Spyder - I like being the only one in the village
Hope to collect next Friday as DVLA boys have sorted the plates out. Would be good to know if and when you guys get together!! Mark
Went out In the cayman and it's a very nice bit of kit esp with leather dash, as normal not impressed with N spec tyres though ;-) See you on the prom tomorrow.
Welcome to an exclusive Spyders x 2 section and hopefully once you have posted some pics our Registrar Secretary flat6 can add you and both your cars to the roll call on page 1 Hope the weather stays kind for your collection next Friday Where about in the UK are you based I am in London area jdpef356 is kindly trying to get a Spyder spot organised for the July 25/26/27 Silverstone Classic Car weekend http://www.silverstoneclassic.com/ Also there is the Sharnbrook Supercar Sunday hopefully with a good turnout of Spydermen too http://www.thesharnbrookhotel.com/car-shows.cfmORIGINAL: Kellym1 Hi Daro911 Indeed my second Spyder. Bought one (White, manual) in the summer of 2012 from OPC Swindon. Had just moved house so didn't use it enough to justify keeping so sold in early 2013 back to Swindon. Took a big hit and regretted ever since. Then bought 993 but missed the open air so back to the Spyder. I'm can't wait to own Kenny's old car. He has looked after it so we'll and I love the PDK
My Spyder did Oulton Park 4 times, Stowe Part of Silverstone once, Anglesey once and 22000 other miles on its original front tyres. Bridgestones. The Pirellis today were screwed before morning coffee... On Friday I was wondering when I'd ever be in a Spyder again. Delighted it was today! Even from the passenger seat you can tell how different/ amazing the Spyder is. Cayman S is a giant killer too though. Could just about keep up with Demon
Sorry we missed you when leaving - looked high and low for you!Am I reading that right? You have gone through a pair of front tyres in a weekend by doing one trackday?ORIGINAL: rob.kellockMy Spyder did Oulton Park 4 times, Stowe Part of Silverstone once, Anglesey once and 22000 other miles on its original front tyres.

I can't get the technical reason confirmed by Porsche but my original manual PSE Spyder was so quiet between 20-40mph cut off that I bought a Carnewal remote controller gizmo that allowed the valves to be open and not automatically cut off at 20-40mph and if I wanted to shutdown to the muted almost silent mode then it could be done using the remote controller. Moving on at the same time I owned my manual Spyder a friend owned a 987 S PDK / PSE and his car was so much louder than mine and didn't suffer the 20-40mph cut off at all. Now on Spyder No.2 PDK/PSE I can definitely confirm it is much louder than my old car, even when turned off you can still hear a soundtrack from out back! When on which is 24.7 in my case the 20-40mph cut off like my friends 987S thankfully seems to not be working like it did on my manual I can only assume the louder sound from a PDK must having something to do with the extra weight or extra radiator or both even on PDK cars Either way I feel my old manual was certainly lacking and my current PDK is almost where I want to be but a few % more decibels would have done me perfectly Having said all this I can confirm my soundtrack is far more racey and louder than my brothers 997 Speedster which sadly didn't come with PSE and as it came with every factory option as standard kit included in the price I can only assume PSE was left off for technical reasons. Either way the only real major disappointment on his beast from my view
