Bloody Spyder Addiction!

[m33ufo]

Ok, I can't quite believe I've gone and done it but I just placed a deposit on another Spyder!

Sold my last superlative example 3 weeks ago with no intention of buying another quite yet but my eye was caught by another quite interesting example. I'll pick it up on Monday

I was kind of jealous at not being able to pop my details into the Spyder register so I suppose I had to do it. And the spec, whilst being a departure from my previous car, is very appealing in other ways.

Can't believe I'm so excited at the thought of another one so quickly!

Lol

White one ?

They are great things, was shocked you sold yours in the 1st place, but it was silver.

[Zyp]

It may have been silver but it looked brilliant.

I guess you (m33ufo) have bought a heavyweight PDK?

[jimmy p]

Come on then give us some details of new car/spec?? Aqua blue???????

[Fire_2]

Lamo heavyweight pdk! You must of ment the faster one?!

Sounds good what spec?

I actually meant ' not a man's one'.

Only two for sale through OPC's - must be the time of year for selling!

Told you, white is for milk floats and 1989 Fiesta Popular's!

It did. Probably the 2nd best looking Spyder in the UK

The new owner should be joining up soon.

Have to say I hadn't been looking at Spyders but I saw the spec in the classifieds and it appealed a lot. Shame it doesn't have PCCB but it is the faster PDK example with paddle shift and sport chrono plus

That's obviously not why I bought it though. The basics (except for the arguable manual / PDK thing) are correct - Spyder wheels, carbon buckets, PSE. The reason I wanted it though was simply Aqua Blue and Full Leather

The rest of the spec is here:

I've worked out that the reason the PDK examples are quicker is that they carry more momentum into a corner. Zyp's car must fly!

edit...by way of a bonus, after putting a deposit on the car, I was told who the original owner was - very cool! I'll tell you next week

Apologies, clearly no PASM. My fault entirely. Lovely car mind. See you Monday m33ufo. Tom 911Virgin

[m33ufo]

Look forward to it

[MDian]

Blimey, that must be one of the quickest turnarounds ever

Still wish I had had the space for another car, would have snapped up the Spyder I had a deposit on last year, £38k with 1,000 miles and would still be on the same now!

[ooral]

Nice spec, I hope there will be pictures!

[m33ufo]

You can count on pics although not sure exactly when - the weather is dire. Hope the rain clears the salt and any snow for Monday

[mrdemon]

I am speechless lol.
