I don't get this car it's for sale every month at another dealer ! must be the 12th + time it's been up now, that's enough to think it's a lemon.

hard to say why this on has not been snaped up, perhaps either black, pccb (some do not want them because of cost of replacement), "6" previous owners or wrong wheels. maybe a combo of all those things. looks quite a good spec for the money even with 15000 miles on it. black is not for me tho

Had the car up in the Highlands since Thursday/Friday. They really are very good when used as intended.

Tyinsky Looks like you had decent weather ..if I am correct that was the Bealach Na Ba pass of the cattle at Applecross . Have been on that route a couple of times ...some of the best driving roads up that part of the country

Great to you you're having a great time with the car. As you say, doing with it what was intended - the most smiles per mile[]

A rare roofless one for you. I can also confirm that they do not blow off at 166

Exactly there. Drove it in the dark later that evening too.

And not up it the next day when snow was coming down fast at the bottom.

Doesn't work. Would be interested to see it running the whole length of the sill/wheel to wheel. Think I can see why Porsche have not bothered with it on the new and slightly more sanitised version.

So the Spyder MOT is due soon. Does it matter if it goes to an OPC or Porsche Indy?! Phil

 

[Dylan1]

No

 

[daro911]

I like the Tequipment side stripe but I bet your OPC would charge a fortune to supply & fit that compared to your local bodyshop[]

 

[MrDemon]

The 987.2 stripe was £750 + fitting lol

 

[Rocket Man]

easy to get those stripes made and take an amateur an hour to fit
