Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

The best sound is the engine when they drive off into the sunset! As far as the car is concerned, if it ain't OEM or a race car you'll struggle to win over the Spyderboys!! Like this:

ORIGINAL: kitchens Guys Have a good Easter break, weather looking dry but cold all over the U-K but roads still full of that salt dust so maybe a opportunity for a run . A question as i am only 5 .8" and have short legs i sit quite far forward and do not get the same view of the front of the car as i did in the other car Boxster . It is bucket seats could you add spacers to the rails to lift them higher or raise the lumber support at the back to throw the seat forward . Brian
Brian, having come across this pic on the same link as the blue car, it seemed humorous to post this picture alongside your post. Is this you?[;)] http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/987-981-forum/704926-the-987-2-fights-back.html

Have you seen my knees! .......[;)]i dont do shorts . Went i to a chemist once with sun burned legs and asked the chemist have you any advise on what to put on them .....he said LONG trousers . [:D]
 
[:D][:D][:D] He's certainly sitting very low in the car. At first I thought no-one was driving it! The weather is finally picking up down here in the North West. Hope you get to go for a good blast soon[:)]
 
I changed all my brakes after Oulton so we'll see how they go. I bought a set of non descript wheels to put some old tyres on so it'll be a bit of a mix and match [:)] At the moment I am still digging the snow out of my driveway And at the end of my road this is for real!!
 
So, if I had to choose between the OPC Sutton Coldfield and Guildford cars i'd choose the Guildford car because I prefer the colour and the PSE is a bonus for the same price as the other car. Let's assume the 'wrong' wheels on the Sutton Coldfield car can be swapped by the OPC and sports shifter is easily added. Although, if they did have a car with Spyder wheels to swap with, it'd be a gen2 Boxster S, Cayman S or Cayman R and so they may be reluctant to put gen1 turbo wheels on it as it'll look odd. I think the Guildford car will go first. I think the Sutton Coldfield car could be with us for a while.

Crikey Andy! Certainly not Boxster conditions where you are! I thought the pads you got AFTER Oulton would be spent by now[:D] I went with Porsche pads fitted at the OPC as I negotiated a 'fair' price, plus the car is under warranty etc. However, I learnt along the way that Pagid make the Porsche pads (no doubt everyone else already knew that) so I think I should put serious consideration into using Pagid pads after the warranty expires IF there's an IDENTICAL part (I have OCD about keeping the car factory standard). Will do some research into that when the time comes but any advice on that would be much welcomed.
 
That is some serious snow ...i think you will have that around for a few weeks yet even months! Nice igloo.

I hope he hadn't got his Spyderman anorak on, I do worry about this Care in the Community programme! Nice pics, no snow here in sunny Preston.

Ah yes that's right, I was the imposter that won a raffle prize and chose the Boxster Spyder scale model. I was well chuffed[:)]
 
The Porsche model is ace isn't it? I love the separate roof. Who is going to start page 100 of this everlasting thread?

Yeah its a good model. I have loads of 1:18 models and i'm a bit miffed that they didn't do the Spyder in 1:18 scale. It's unbelievable that this thread will enter a 100th page. We should all come with something for the centenery[:D]
 
Was clearing out the bookmarks on my phone and this was in there. Can only think I was researching the 917 at the Cayman launch. I'll post it here as this is the 917 page[:)]

My son was thrilled with the 911 USB model I bought him at the cayman launch - I didn't realise till he sent me a photo of it in use that the headlights light up when it is loading info !! Nice detail touch
 
Another phone, another bookmark found. Here's a bunch of happy campers like us[:)] http://www.planet-9.com/987-cayman-boxster-chat/62080-my-boxster-spyder-one-year-old-today.html
