Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

Welcome aboard the Cayman Register Rob - car looks great.
Indeed I'm standing in an Alfa Romeo showroom looking at a 4C. In looks alone it puts the Spyder firmly in the shade! As soon as I've made my appointment for a drive I'll start thinking about cashing in myself!ORIGINAL: daro911ORIGINAL: Andy Fagan Wow, lots of Spydermen handing their suits back []

I wondered why I didn't meet you out on track again in the afternoon! Great to meet up with you again Rob and the new C looks great. [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. 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

Am afraid so Steve, the feathering on the n/s/f in particular was awful. They did get very hot.
I really really hope not but after the 100 mile drive home they are still looking a bit poorly. It's not as though I am Tiff Needell doing power slides everywhere, if anything I'd say I drove the Spyder more enthusiastically - the car's cornering limits are greater than my bottle! There's plenty of tread left so hopefully they will settle down.
I was always happy with them on the Spyder. Will see how I get on!

5 Spyders at llandudno today, shame we could not get them all together for a picture. If Rob would have waited selling his for a short while longer we could have had 6 there. Well perhaps next time. Good to put a face to all these Spyder men. A good day had by all.
It was very pleasant and well supported . I did ponder the absence of the sixth Spyder...

If it hadn't been for some fast thinking a grey one might have ended up on the shingle beach-just started rolling backwards of its' own account as I approached it -fortunately members adjacent quickly grabbed hold-I just got 2 large pebbles off the shingle & stuck them behind the rear tyres--phew[&o]
But has Rob even thought to mention his car in the register in which it belongs - old habits die hard[ORIGINAL: jdpef356 Peter Your on the wrong Forum?[
] It' s a good job he's not Register Director[] Rob, from what I remember, Anglesey produces a lot of tyre debris from the racing cars & you'll pick up a lot of that which bonds to your tyres and stays for many road miles. Could it be that making your tyres look chewed?
But not quick enough to reach in and stick it in gear [
] Thanks to Colin for saving a Spyder though! I did pick up a lot of "marbles" some of which were causing vibrations but the blocks in the shoulder of the tyre were raised upwards on their leading edges somehow!Looks great Rob! You've certainly sprung a surprise on here and also you're the first Spyderman I'm aware of that's gone 981. But having loaned a 981 Cayman or two, I think it is is a wise move in order to maintain a similar driving thrill to the Spyder & it amazingly does so with the capability to be more refined but with a similar capability for direction changing, poise and grip. I'm sure it'll prove a shrewd move and no doubt already has done and might get others thinking more about 981 now that a Spyderman has done it [ORIGINAL: rob.kellock

Cheers matey [] Just realised, I have done the opposite to you: 911 to White Spyder to Red Cayman!!
