Easily done Mark I know, mines just over 13k now.

Although I'm picking up a 987.2 BS tomorrow to help out with the DD duties. :-)

Y'all are going to catch my 987.2 Spyder mileage. I thought I was doing well with 24k on that one.

I was daily driving my Spyder for a while when my DD Touareg TDI was in the shop for several months.

I've just replaced the soon to be bought back Touareg with this gem, so the Spyder won't be seeing as much daily driving duty. This is a 2014 Cayenne GTS. It is an epic daily driver!

I'm just out on a business road trip with my brother driving his new E hybrid Cayenne. Very impressed with it.
Collecting the 987 tomorrow !

First outing for the 987.2 BS yesterday.

Took my lad to the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Great event as usual.

Back in the Spyder today for sunny afternoon ice cream run.
What sticks out most on a back to back drive is the amazing ride and build quality of the 981. For a car that handles so well the ride quality is just great.

I'm seriously looking at getting the 987 Spyder suspension put on my BS, as the reports seem very good and the 20mm drop will really enhance the look too.
