Hope your getting out and about in yours, I’m guessing it’s a little bit warmer down under :-)
Up to 7000k now and love the car, still have to get on the track though, probably have to wait until next summer. I'm back over in the UK in June, I will be with the family but they go back near the end of July and I off with friends to the mountains again probably Spain this time. We will have to have a drive somewhere this time, North Devon?

Sounds like a very good plan Robert.....
Give me a shout when you’re over an Exmoor blast sounds fun.

Six Spyders? Wow! Damn fine turnout.

Met up with a Spyder buddy this morning for breakfast and a canyon drive, then to Oakley HQ on the way home for a photo opp.

He just took delivery of a GT3 so he left his Spyder at home today. This was my first chance to see his GT3 and it looks soooooo right in GR.

Ahhhhh, what it must be like to own a Spyder + GT3. The ultimate Dynamic Duo? Me thinks so.












His CF mirror caps had me salivating (and wondering how they might look on the Spyder).

I will miss unfortunately the annual Spyder Owners Meeting here in Germany this year mid of June So far they have 29 Spyder on the attendance list ... They will meet in the Eifel and will have a blast on the streets around the Nordschleife . Some will then even attend a driving training on the Nordschleife...
My plan is to be further south around this time (Corsica and Sardinia), with the Spyder

Great turnout this morning at the PECLA Morning Shift.
















We had some Yellowbirds . . .












. . . . and also some birds of a different feather . . . .










While there was a little bit of everything, there were no 987 Spyders and only one 981 in attendance.







This left many green with envy.







Going back to the Yellowbird, here's some crazy 'Ring footage of that car from 1987 that will make your hands sweat:

I was really excited to see this white 987 Spyder. Currently showing about 1,150mi on the odometer. It’s absolutely perfect.

^^^^^^^ Just out for a nice Sunday drive, right?

Pure stones -- and the hand speed!

That car is a handful even in a straight line.
