Looking closely at these photos reminded me of just how well-proportioned that body is:

  • Muscular, but in a lithe, sinewy sort of way. Powerful yet lean. Just stunning.

  • Appears to be in motion, even when standing still. All that harnessed energy -- like a sprinter in the blocks ready to explode at the crack of the starter's pistol!

  • Clearly well-maintained, if not pampered, and so well-appointed.




And the Spyder looks pretty good, too, Joel!

Big congrats! Glad you were able to finally take her for a spin.

Cup holder delete option??!! Are you kidding me??!! THIS IS A KEEPER

Joel congrats on a very beautiful Spyder. Nice to see you back in the fold!

You need to post the option list on that car, it looks like it has lots of goodies on it.

Enjoy in good health.

Congratulations, Joel. Looks sharp. Always love the red interior. Classic. Too bad it only works with very few specific colors such as silver, white and black.

Tobias, while I crave for your roads and landscape, I dread the draconian traffic laws! Land of the Free suits me better! :-)

Unfortunately, that's the case.. ! That's also why I don't really care that the Spyder top takes off at any speed above 200 km/h...!

You should have no trouble find one IMO. The PDK are not quite as popular as the MT so there's few around. Have you check the usual sources like AutoTrader, Cars.com etc...?
