For anyone who hasn't seen a Spyder in the flesh - they have a LOT of presence.

Ever miss your S2000?
When I have to fill up with fuel (it used less)
And actually a fair bit of 6/7/8 10th driving, the S2000 was fizzy quite a bit of the time.... when the Spyder is rock solid, and therefore a tiny bit aloof unless you're getting up in it.
So yes, sometimes I do, and still love the way the thing looked...

The muscle of this though, the different (and better imo), music, I had a glorious drive from Bournemouth to Taunton and back yesterday in the sun, some quiet stretches, it's just superb.

Cheers for that, your drive train is a very attractive proposition, s good friend had a GT3 and now has a GT4 and the engine characteristics are fabulous...but very, very easy to get into custodial speeds!
