If you set up the correct alerts on autotrader and other sites and play the early bird get the worm one will turn up! It's just a matter of time - who knows someone could be putting one on pistonheads right now[

Whislt waiting for my 1st MOT to be done today I had a good sit in the 981's on display and concluded upon getting back into the old girl their is no way I am going to get into a 981 until Porsche get their act together and give us Spyder 2 [8D] In the background of this picture taken today is a 1969 911E with the original 60's Porsche script [] I was offered a car wash when my car was finished but could it have been any cleaner

Car is looking great there Rob. The funny thing about ideal spec is you don't necessarily know best at the time. I very nearly opted for a build to order car and I wouldn't have bothered with sports exhaust, parking sensors or sports chrono - they weren't on my 911 and I didn't see the point. I would have spent the money saved on PCM3, white dials and white roll over hoops. Sports exhaust is my favourite option, I only ever drive in sports mode, the parking sensors are useful with the restricted rear visibility, I've gone off white dials, am happy with black roll over hoops and use a light weight plug in Garmin when I need sat nav! No regrets.
You are quite correct but now I have had a fully loaded fat boy spec Spyder should the opportunity ever arise to order a brand new 981 Spyder (subject to funds available & Porsche making it) I could get very close to my ideal spec indeed I hope today is the closest my garage queen ever gets to seeing snow [&o]
Spyderwhite, Kitchens, We Spydermen previously debated what options we would choose if were limited to 5. Below you will see our choices. Now that we're back on that subject, i'd like to invite you to add your choices. So, if you were spec-ing a Spyder from new and was limited to just 5 options, which would you choose. Note that whilst the radio is free, as it's needed for mobile phone connectivity, if you're choosing mobile phone functionality and radio, we'll count those together as just ONE of your options. If you are only choosing the standard radio, don't include it on your list[]

ORIGINAL: flat6 bottom of http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=719756&mpage=67&key=buckets򶩘 Never expected there'd be anything to debate but its been interesting. PSE is a must have for most as are the bucket seats. Assuming no-one has forgotten that PDK is an option, all went manual. Sports chrono certainly is recognised as adding much to the driving experience. Then the choices deviate more and it's more down to comfort. Rob has controversially put heavy climate with lightweight buckets[8D]. I've not opted for the PSE soundtrack, instead going for the visual stimulus of hide. This has lead to ridicule and damage of reputation[:-]. Homerdog & John either don't need a phone and/or don't need a radio either (radio being free I can't tell if you'd opt it but can deduce you dont want the phone). Daro just needs to delete the radio/phone & his will be just as Porsche intended[

Brian, you can have another. Homerdig wins.
I posted on Pistonheads about short shift. I am happy with stock. The replies have not really been a ringing endorsement. Would quite fancy trying one though.
I quite like my choices but line them all up and you'd grab the keys of the Riviera Blue car. Surely?[]
