^^. Beautiful car drive it, and don’t care about resale for the next guy. Time loss in a great car is the same as money burned. Have fun.

Beautiful Spyder (and matching garage)! Still, I think you need another bike or two

I spent some great summers in Littleton eons ago and suspect it is much more developed now. Ken-Caryl Ranch was fairly new at that time and it was out that way that I rode hundreds of miles on my Bianchi. Enjoy your new home!

Just in a supermarket car park. Went through 5,000 miles this weekend and seems only to be getting better.

The UK is ideal for convertibles for 8 months of the year.
Never too hot, just got to watch out for those clouds coming in !!

I’ve driven mine to work several days over the last month, roof off, 10-14C, seat heating and cabin heating turned up to the max.
It’s beautiful here driving along the autumn tree lined B roads.

I should really get out and take a picture !!

Hapoy days :-)

Love the fall driving. But I have to really watch the weather. Took off up our Sea 2 Sky Hwy last Thursday, top down, heat on etc... and turned the corner into a rain storm. Whereas in the TT cab the water would just stream over the car, the Spyder builds up and jumps over the side windows into the cabin. Had to stop under an over pass, emergency flashers on, and "don" the top. Remember those camping days and rigging a tent in the rain? Snap!

Great to hear the incoming 982 Spyder may have some iteration of a removal top. Love it.

Such photogenic cars...

@Zeus: The Porsche marketing folks knew that this would be happening, so they added this photo to the official 987 Spyder sales brochure!

Ok time for a cheeky dealer pic....



Picked up this amazing car from the dealer 2nd December 2015.
So nearly at the 2 year mark.

This was the first new car I have ever brought, so sorting out spec was an exciting but frightening experience BUT...
14.5k miles later... nothing but big smiles all round.

2 big Euro Tours including fantastic days driving in the Swiss alps and drives around Spa, Nurburgring, Goodwood etc..
Its been a complete joy !!

Absolutely love this car..

Beautiful pic! Crazy to think they 981 Spyder is coming up on 2 years old and the 987 is now 7 years old!

These cars are a driving inspiration, we are all very fortunate to have one.

I allowed my brother in law to drive my Spyder yesterday. He road races motorcycles, and is pretty good at wheeling his Miata through turns, so I knew I could trust him.

He couldn’t stop talking about the car. He asked his wife if they could sell their house, and buy a Spyder to live in. LOL
