Correct ;-)
True, but it was about 2C when I left home and very frosty. I also thought I should give the 991 a run as the Spyder has been doing most of the miles recently.daro911 said:
My Spyder has now clocked up over 2,500 miles which must be about 2 years motoring for you Robert!

I am looking after her for you Rob [8D]
Nice couple of hours chasing around the all too congested roads of the SE in the sun yesterday...
That's good to hear, thanks.
I did have some amazing adventures in that car - playing around the Evo triangle with flat6 in his sister car along with a couple of other PCGB buddies in a Cayman R and a 458 was a notable high. The best drive I ever had in it was in France though. Let's just say that an enthusiastically driven 997 turbo was a surprisingly good match for it on well sighted deserted rural roads.
Here's a couple of pics you may not have seen before - the car was just a few hours old in the last one!

there were no 987/2 Spyders there either. but two Atoms.
the 981Spyder that was there had what you may call a strange set of Porsche graphics on the side, not fitted as intende !!!
That was the first 981 Spyder I have seen close up and to be quite honest I am glad I refused the offer of one from OPC Bolton, a super daily driver but unfortunately just not special enough for me to spend all my time polishing. Too watered down from the 987/2.
One coment I could make I love the colour and style of the classic interior but alas the reflection onto the screen from the dash top is just too much and I would too distracting, shame!

A Boxster with 375bhp and the heart out of a 911 3.8L not special enough are you having a
at all the 981 Spydermen[]
Did you see the bonnet stripe too - it was at least 10mm off centre and cut very poorly around the badge []
Never crossed my mind you may have been in the atom or I would have said hello.

why spend all that money then make such a ----up of the graphics. the side stripes were on the wrong side, wrong place, it just mesmerised me looking at it. i do like graphics on a car and i am sure many have called me for the Martini graphics i put on the Spyder i had but they were top quality fitted perfectly and took a long time designing them to complement the shape of the Boxster.
If my MD offered me a 981 Spyder to replace my A6 as a company car i would snatch his arm off and love it but no matter if it has a 3.8 engine or not to me its about style not weather a 3.8 is more special than a 3.4. Given a choice for a daily driver i would go for a Cayman GTS.
just my opinion, sorry if it offends and Spyder buyer.
