In the absence of my Spyder which is half way across the world in San Francisco, I opted to rent a "Spider" while here visiting my parents home in Lake Como. In this case a lowly fiat 124, no frunk, small trunk, no power, soft suspension, luggage in passenger seat.. but oh MAN.. what a wonderful little car. There is this interesting rotational quality in the turns I can't quite describe.. it just pivots beautifully around itself. The shifter is also incredibly short and precise, and heel and toe is a joy (quite a bit easier than with the 981 spyder I must say).
Anyway, was missing my baby after 3 weeks away so this is as close as I could get...
...I will be doing the Selvio and Gavia passes by bicycle in July...I own both 981 and 987 Boxster spyders...very fortunate...Love your thread!...THANKS!,Stuart
SPECIAL WARNING FOR SJ
The following tale / pictures may seriously damage your mental health !!
Day 10
So after a long couple of days driving back from Switzerland through Germany and France, I have arrived safely back at base.
But I must just share my Tuesday driving in the Swiss Alps.
3 hours solid driving the magic triangle of the Grimsel, Susten and Furka Passes. If you don't know these roads, do get onto google.
Without doubt the very best day I've ever experienced in a car !
The roads are just such quality and completely varied on ever turn.
And of course the scenery is just outstanding.....
Is there is a better car to make such a trip ???
I can't think of one.....

Had my Spyder at our local Fuelfed Open. Fuelfed is normally for vintage European cars, but 3 times a year they have the "open" for any cars...it was a hit!
