^^^ great pic of the Spyder here. with the spoiler up at this angle it just screams modern day incarnation of the Carrera GT. The Spyder just has such classic lines with Porsche supercar queues... just wow wow wow. Great to see it on track. Thanks for posting

Great shot CAlexio - since it is Thursday (and just got the RS back from protective film) I got them all cleaned up for the weekend...

Thanks for the kind words sir and holy cow you are absolutely right! Especially with the picture you posted of the GT now it's blindingly obvious. :thumbs:

Photographer told me that he thought my car was the best looking and he takes pictures for Audi Motorsport. Said out of all the cars here if he could go home with one it would be mine!

Small world! I walked right by you (just moments before/after this photo was taken) and admired your new car while I was on my way to the parts counter. Congrats!

Age spares no one these indignities and there's no use pretending your reflexes are what they once were.
For me it was distracted teenager putting me in the hospital that ended it all after 40 years on two wheels. Couldn't put my wife through that again. Forced me back into Porsches after 20 years though.

That color and wheel combination really works. Looks super sharp.
