• 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.

    Goodbye from me........

    No longer having a Spyder and most of my friends on Facebook I think it's time for me to say farewell to you all here. We've had some fun, haven't we?! Lamont is a personal friend of mine and I have had the pleasure of meeting him and his lovely wife, Joan at Spyderfest on more than one...

    End of an era......

    Sadly, I only have a pension to live on and as I'm 71 next birthday it's unlikely that my situation is going to get better. It was great while it lasted and I did enjoy being a "rock star" for a few years! However the RCZ is also getting a lot of passer-by attention as they are also rare to see...

    End of an era......

    I said goodbye to my F3-T last week as it was simply costing too much to keep in the garage whether or not I used it. In the UK a vehicle must have current road tax and insurance to even be kept in a private garage and the depreciation on Spyders is huge. This equates to approx. $30 a week and...

    Not happy

    We have to remember that Bob Denman is getting on in years and for him to make a typo is par for the course. After all 1130 is almost the same as 1330 when you type it! :ohyea:

    Leaving the fold.

    My first Spyder was the RSS se5. I sort of liked the novelty of the Spyder but I grew to intensely dislike the 998 V-Twin with that transmission. Far too busy and crap mpg. Then Lamont recommended that I tried the F3. And I bought an F3-S..............Chalk and cheese!! Point I'm trying to make...

    Season's Greeting to all!!

    Yeah, it's because the British have a long history of tradition! It is possible that the custom of driving on the left dates back to pre-history and may later have been used as an early road safety measure. At a time when the main danger on the roads was mugging, careful travellers would pass...

    Season's Greeting to all!!

    Well, you all know me well enough to suspect that the Spyder will not be replaced! So I sold my car and this is the new toy! ( Click on the pic!) You could say that it's a poor man's Porsche! 2 liter diesel 165bhp and quick. It...

    Status of Lamont

    He's still keeping an eye on you, Bob! He's obviously much, much better than he has been and is accepting his new lifestyle with as much good grace as can be expected.

    Season's Greeting to all!!

    As many of you may know I don't really do Christmas, but for those of you that celebrate Christmas or an equivalent festive event at this time of year may I wish a very happy one. It's a little bitter-sweet for me this year as both my health and my finances are dwindling. My year old F3T...

    Another bone head move by United Airlines...

    You're correct! Almost. Miss Othmar was Charlie Brown's teacher in the Peanuts Movie but, yes, in the comic strip Miss Othmar is Linus van Pelt's teacher. During the 60s, in the strip Charlie Brown used to sit behind Linus in class, so I think it's reasonable to assume that he was occasionally...

    The Easter Egg hunt!

    We have that in some junior schools in the UK ( They're called primary schools over here.) Some primary schools have even stopped having sports days so that their little darlings don't have to experiencing losing!

    Insurance - Anyone have any history with Markel?

    Bob, do you need motorhome cover for the times when your good lady discovers just how much you've spent on the latest Spyder farkle and that's where you have to sleep 'til the heat dies down? Just curious....

    Has the F3 been improved?

    More of the same! Yep! I also had a '15 F3S. Loved it. It did have a couple of problems all sorted out under guarantee. The power steering failed and was replaced. Both front discs were replaced as they had warped. Other than that it was great. Took it for a service at 158 Performance late...
