Hello Team,
Was asked a while back if I joined SpyderLovers forums.....and sadly had said no. I think many members here, are also on the other sites as well, so what the heck......
Ok, I finihed all my mods....Klicktronic shifter installation, designed and fabbed floor boards on the cheap, got Brembo to send me a WORKING 19x20 Radial Master cylinder (go figure my luck, eh) and finally the wheelchair holder.
So, how is everything going......super! Made the trip to Valcourt for the Homecoming....so excited that so many had already heard and read of my mods...and that these mods were helping others. Feels good to help where possible.

[img]Hey Team,
Yup that was me in Valcourt, Spyder......and wheelchair. Thx so much for everyones quick responses!

Being the 'computer illiterate fool' that I am ......trying to get photos on forums is harder than me coming up with my mods!!! Would some one be so kind as to instruct me on how a person posts a photo or two? I cannot believe that I am unable to find the 'button' that lets me simply attach a photo.......I'd like to have a photo in my profile too, and as I tried that last night.....I got a fatal error message. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I've been using www.photobucket.com and www.putfile.com to load pics here. They will give you the code to copy and paste into the message board.

As for the avatar, it needs to be no wider than 140pix wide. If you need help loading it just send it to spydersupport@gmail.com and I will resize it and load it for you. That goes for anyone that needs help with that. :doorag:

Yep, Lamont did it for me. It whipped me several times before I begged for help. This man is talented! ;D

Nice to see this post appear. I owe my first spyder ride to Floto, a true gentleman. Thanks to my first ride on his own modded sm5 with hydro brakes, i went out and bought one first thing this spring.

Thanks Mr floto, next time we cross paths (and we will), cigars and smoked ribs are on me..
