Beautiful Spyder and photos! But man, that must have been a bit scary if you were on summer tires!

Thanks for sharing!

So great that you drove to Reunion

Can't recall if you have LWBs. If so, I'd be curious to know how the comfort was for a trip of that length/duration.

Did someone mention Half Dome?

The infamous cables:

Sports seats because I wanted seat heaters. They are very comfortable.

Great shots of Half Dome, cables were already down when we got to the Valley (Oct. 15). Did get a nice hike up to Vernal and Nevada Falls. Park was still very crowded, camp grounds sold out.

Not really "in the wild" but I took the car to put winter tires on (and brought a few beers to make sure that the work was less boring for everybody at the garage).
Originally the pic was not for here, but I loved how the boring neon light reflected on the humps.

Nice that looks plenty wild enough. Good work with the winter tyre. Sounds like you're gonna keep driving it.

[QUOTE=il pirata;15372944]Sports seats because I wanted seat heaters. They are very comfortable.



I replaced the manual heated seats with LWB seats. Other than the weight saving there isn't a good reason to replace the seats. The normal seats give good support and can be articulated a little more than the LWBs.

I just returned from an 1800 mile trip, mid-arizona to Calif coast with the LWBs. No complaints. Although I had put in a foam piece under the insert just to give me a bit higher position. I'm around 5'7+"
