That’s a Great Question.

Firstly my allegiance is always to my Aussie Mate Daniel Ric.

Then I think for sure I would go for Porsche.

Although I have always had Ferrari’s, I have never really supported them in F1 and I am a crazy F1 fan.

I took this photo of DR 4 weeks before he won at Monza. Truly amazing that he was standing under the Monza Poster in my Garage when he helped jump start my Aston before I drive it up to Pebble for car week.

He was blown away when he saw this photo.

Cactus Grey sounds interesting, as does the 2CV, a friend in the local club has one as well, neat little cars.

Actually that shot was last night, everything is running late this year except the rain, the reservoir doesn’t overflow until mid to late January, it started spilling nearly a month ago, so wet but warm, the trees are also confused. Victoria can have very mild winters so I keep the Spyder insured all year long, yesterday I ran all my errands in the Spyder.

Tonight though... Arctic outflow is going to meet moist pacific air directly over us, we are expecting a relatively rare white Christmas!

I think Lewis will come back stronger than ever. Of course, that depends on Merc nailing the new car again. I just hope Aston Martin builds a good car for Vettel.

I agree - Lewis will be extra motivated to win another Championship and hold the title for most championships alone - he is still in the prime of his career and still one of the greatest drivers in F1 history. I am just glad my fellow Canadian Latifi could have such an impact on the sport 😂 unlike his Billionaire countryman.

Seriously though Porsche in F1 would be awesome - I think I would have to deck myself out in head to toe Porsche F1 gear if they come in. Now all I need is my SPyder allocation to come through and not just be a poser!

BTW loving all the sexy chalk pics - but alas - I am going Gentian Blue for my build - if it comes through 🤞

We have a saying around here, if you don't like the weather wait for 15 minutes... it will change! It started snowing Christmas Eve, only stopping for brief intervals, today the Spyder stays tucked in and safe!

We got a dusting here yesterday. Nothing stuck to the roads, and it didn’t even cover the grass, but the township spread salt and cinders on our road! I think they need to get rid of their stockpile and since it’s been so warm, they just dump it whenever they have an excuse. Now, I’m going to leave my Spyder in the garage until we get a good rain that washes the roads clean. That could be a couple of days or a couple of months! On Sunday, I was driving with the top down…

Anyone has speed blue interior stitching in combo with Chalk exterior? Would love to see some photos of it.

I thought I had settled on silver but I also like chalk for something different.

Question, with classic Spyder interior, are the inside panels silver? If so, how does that look with the chalk exterior?
