striking car, sun and foul weather protector is pretty intuitive and with a bit of practice takes about 2-3 mins to either take off or put on.
drove back from dealership on motorway in monsoon like conditions and it kept me dry - literally felt 2 or 3 drops on my face during 150 plus miles of rain
looking forward to some nice dry weather...........!!

If you have a/c please let me know if it works great when its hot outside.

Didn't spec it; I can confirm that the heater works very well though (currently 3 degrees C in good old blighty!)

While all three are very nice, I still have to call white for the win.

Anybody else for March 17th production?
What would estimated arrival into US be based on that production date?

Mine is April 1st...
I know there is a scheduled ship to depart March 10th... Not sure how often they load, but there is a small chance our cars will be on the same boat.

Thanks Cayman!
I have no idea when the next ship departs after the March 10th one that you mentioned.

Thanks! Does anyone have the print copy? It mentions that the Spyder went head to head with the Cayman S on the track and to read the sidebar story, but that doesn't exist in the article. I am really keen to know how fast the Spyder is relative to the Cayman S!
