• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Pest Controller goes from Beetle to Spider (Spyder)

Well done

Many of you will know that I sold my Volkswagen Beetle Convertible at the end of August because I wanted to purchase my dream the Can Am Spyder F3-S.
Deal has been sealed today and dealer has put a sold sticker on F3-S. She is mine, mine , mine. The dealer is called 158 Performance and I would like to give them a big shout for selling me the only available brand new 2015 F3-S in Magnesium and red frame physically in stock in the UK. I would also like to give a big shout to the three other dealers which are Pure Speed, GS Jet Tech and OHG for the advice, finance quotes, etc and although I didn't buy a Spyder from you, please be assured you will get my business when my F3-S needs servicing and accessories/parts.
All four UK Can Am dealers exceeded customer expectations, but I could only choose one dealer to buy Spyder from. The decision was easy because 158 had a F3-S in colour I wanted and onsite. Well if that had been sold to someone else, I would probably have had to wait till 2016. OHG had sold there magnesium demo, GS Jet Tech were holding on to their magnesium demo, Pure Speed didn't have a magnesium demo in and that left 158 Performance who had a brand new F3-S in Magnesium.
I would like to give a big shout to Bob Denman. The Guardian Bell you sent me has brought me good luck and since receiving it I held it everyday in the hope it would give me luck in finding that F3-S in the UK.
At present the dealer will be fitting Blueridge Windscreen and heated grips and I will expect a phone call from them for me to come down with my partner and sign finance papers.
I will be posting pics to you when she arrives.

Have a good weekend x

"I also have a new can of ACF50 protectant spray so I'll jack up the Spyder and coat the underside!"

Do they sell Pam over in the U.K.? I don't know if it would be cheaper or not; but nothing seems to stick to the undersides, if you lube it up with a bunch of this stuff... :thumbup:

Actually it seems what I have in the garage is this stuff:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003NX4AX4?keywords=ACF50&qid=1444664666&ref_=sr_1_8&sr=8-8

Which is better than ACF50 and also cheaper than Pam!

Hi ChinaPete,
Will be having F3-S delivered to me when they have fitted blue ridge screen and heated grips. Good to hear you are loving your F3 too. Wanted Signature light additional to blue ridge screen and heated grips, but Geoff (OJ UK) told me that dealer rang him to say that this accessory is not available for UK.
