I think the 718 allocation is even worse. I was offered a physical cancelled GT4 but I had to buy it there and then on the day so opportunities like yours do arise. I just don't understand how the flippers get to the top of the queue. I am waiting for things to return to normal before I book my PEC visit , but will they still have a Spyder?

I found it very difficult to get one. Luckily I have a good relationship with my OPC but they made it clear that this was an invite to purchase model. I had my £5k deposit down for a year before I was told if I was getting one. Finance people were really pushy. My OPC told me last week they only have one more Spyder coming this year.
I have only done 150 miles but on my 35 mile loop today it didn’t appear to take any longer to heat up than my 987. Really keen to get some miles in. -

We almost have twins. I got out in mine for a run today and although it has only done 88 miles and has to be under 4k revs you can feel it is going to be spectacular when run-in. I also kept the 987 for the rare days it may possibly rain in Scotland and need a quick hood.😀

Quick roof tip. If you keep pressing the unlock on the key the roof unhooks and windows drop so you don’t need to jump in and out of the car. I assume you got the generic 718 handbook and not Spyder specific.

My Spyder only has 300 miles on it but there is a constant drone on the over run at 2000 ish RPM. Is this commonplace? Also when does it switch to 3 cylinders and is it noticeable?
