    My Spyder will arrive at the dealers today

    Went to my dealers yesterday to see his Spyder demo which is in the same colour as mine, the interior is different but looks great in black and silver with silver stitch.

    He told me that mine was due in today and it will take 3/4 days to turn it around so will have for this weekend, i need to get some miles on her to loosen her up before the Alps trip in 4 weeks.

    Here are some pics from my IPhone, sorry for the quality.

    Wa**er - I never liked you anyway

    God you must be excited!! I was back at my dealers this morning looking at the Ibis white one they have - I am soooo tempted. You are going to have such fun.

    Really happy for you and jealous all at the same time

    What is your spec - Sepang but what interior?

    Looking forward to seeing it soon Colin!

    What did you do with your coupe?
    Want to "rent" it to me for the trip if you still have it???

    Steve, i sold my last R8 coupe Jan 09 when i bought the Maserati GTS, are you now thinking of renting, did you contact the company Mike found, i think it was circa £2500 for the trip.

    Cheers

    No Colin....I just was curious! I'll drive with Ian. He hasn't decided how to handle the insurance issues....so I may just be able to be a passenger.

    I'm bummed....but I can't ruin my trip because of it. I just thought that if you still had the coupe, you might be willing to let me drive it...and could "rent" it from you for insurance reasons!

    Just exploring the possibilities. A rental from a "real" rental car company is way to rich for my blood!
