Porsche 987 Boxster Spyder Purchase

[Spyder3400]

Good purchases chaps I'm sure you will all enjoy them.

There was a nice white Spyder at Silverstone Opc abweek or so ago, perhaps someone bought that one?

Think I might be closest to you - Notts.

Having said that, I don't fancy venturing near Doncaster.....

I think this car was on a PCP and he had to agree to purchase it or hand it back. It may be that he has sold it or it could end up in the dealer network in about 6 weeks.

Which one? The one you were buying?

The car up in Edinburgh. The one I am buying is a private sale that has not been advertised.

Do we all get together for any meetings etc. Looking at the other threads most of
the others are down in the London Area.

There should be a few going to the RS day at Oulton Park in March.
I'm going to spectate as usual, but no doubt on or two will be on track (Rob?)

[mrdemon]

it booked up fast as normal

but fancy a trip over to it, lets make it the 1st 2013 Spyder meetup with Cayman R's.

[Zyp]

It's a good day out, even if not taking part.
I guess quite a few people not going on track won't bother going as its mid-week.

Can have pax rides in exchange for a charidee donation....

[rob.kellock]

It's in my diary and I'm hoping to pop along. I'm not booked on track though - wouldn't want to show up all those RS and GT3 boys in my little Boxster

As Zyp says, it's still a great day out as a spectator.

I'm hoping my next track excursion will be Anglesey on 27th April probably with PCGB but possibly with Porsche-on-Track, soon to be announced as I understand it.

[Zyp]

Anglesey, eh?







Can one drive there via Snowdonia........

[rob.kellock]

Absolutely.

[Zyp]

Actually, having looked, its a 3.5 hr drive for me!

[jontymo]

I will be at Oulton on the RS day, if anyone wants a ride bring your helmet!!

Picked mine up last Thursday. Only brought it the 130 miles home and put it away in the garage due to the bad weather but first impressions are great.

I'm lucky with the spec/condition:
60 Reg, 4700 miles
White
Manual with short shift
Buckets
PSE
Sport Chrono
CDR30, Sound package plus and universal audio interface
Extended Alcantara
and.... cup holders

Hopefully the weather will be a bit better for a run tomorrow.

Edited to add sports short shift.

I'm considering it. Would love to spectate, possibly jump in with someone.

I'll come in the R.

That spec of the spyder sounds like my R.

That's pretty much the same spec as my car, enjoy.

Picked up the car yesterday.

Took this picture in the Oracle car park in Reading, as we went to see "The Impossible". First time I have come away from the cinema wishing I had not been.
