Looking good! Thumbs up to Brian if he took the pic
I think this is the 2018 Reunion thread started a while back:
https://rennlist.com/forums/987-981-...eunion-vi.html
Hopefully there will be a bunch of attendees from this forum. Would love to see a great Spyder turnout in the Boxster Corral.

I’m very seriously looking at coming over for this.
It would be great to meet up with you guys and see all those Silver Spyders
Guess I would fly in and hire a car.
Any advise on accommodation?
cheers

Only in So Cal . . .
Two totally unremarkable photos, but for the fact they depict my Spyder in rain, something the car just saw today for the first time after 22 months of ownership and 8,700 miles.
Happy to report the wipers do work as intended.

But it does look like your paint could use some wax.

Lol yeah I’m a little **** but I think you do a fantastic job cleaning the car. But some carnauba goes a long ways in keeping the paint looking shiny and protecting from bird droppings and acidic bugs. I’ll bring a tub of carnauba next time we meet so you can give it a try.

cold here
After 62 Porsches' and almost 40 years the cars I love the most are the cars that are driven the most. And the cars that are driven the most are the cars I love the most. Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, California, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and a very, very cold New Jersey the 981 Spyder is one of my favorite cars ever. It's everything a Porsche should be. Fun.
It's so cold. Snow tires would help.
Getting clean a few weeks ago.

My favorite Spyder video. Finally a journo who tells it like it is...
I'm an owner too. Guards Red, satin black wheels, alcantara/leather, carbon fiber trim, SC, PSE, Burmester. Also owned the RS60 Spyder in the pic, and an '11 Spyder, metallic black w/red leather

I found this interesting on another site. Sport Auto times on a short course. Noted our Spyder was quite respectable!

Excellent. Lots of people are unaware Porsche purposefully set up the Spyder to first be a highly capable street car. It's designed for sweeping country roads more so than tracks. Smarter choice than to make it simply a cabrio GT4. My only minor disappointment is the lack of extreme rubber for the OEM wheel sizes. I miss not having Mich Cup 2s and only because where I live the roads are so non-abrasive you need all the grip you can get.

Is it undertired? I ask myself often. I've no problem leaving gt3 and gt4 in the canyons. And its not a driver skill difference - all of my friends are fellow track drivers with lots of experience. I think the suspension is *that* much better for driving scenic mountain roads. It provides a confidence you don't really get in the other cars, however slight it does add up to a sizable difference.
The best part of the day is always when they inevitably check the tire sizes - the reactions are priceless. "Wait your rear tire is ONLY THIS?" I love it.

Even after using (not just owning) a 959, 997 3.8 RS, 964 RS and 991R I still can't say enough about the '16 Boxster Spyder. I'm excited that this thread continues the excitement. I only hope the next generation is just as good.
