Default A new spyder

A few photos of the new spyder delivery and arrival home. I will get some better photos soon, when the sun is more ideal.

I really like this car. The best part so far is the true sports car feeling that it generates. It is so well balanced. And I do love the brakes too, they are so smooth, like no other brakes I have experienced.

Enjoy

Oh and a suggestion regarding getting in and out of the seats easier. When you are about to get out, pull the seat lever and push the seat all the way back. That will give you plenty of room to get in and out of the car without scuffing the leather or the door sill.

Yeh, what ^he said. It should be in the users manual.

And yeh, it looks awesome in black too! (love the yellow calipers, ie CC brakes).

Once you start to use a car with PCCBs, it's hard to go back to iron rotors again.

I have a black spyder as well. Your photos have made me think of painting my wheels black now.
