• 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.

I can't go without a Spyder any longer

Wednesday will be 8 weeks. I only had the dang thing for 13 1/2 weeks. And now that the weather is gorgeous for riding I'm getting really antsy.

That is the info I got from BRP customer service. Cognac is first then yellow then the other colors and finally white in February. They are killing me.

Time to step up to the plate, folks . . . is there a sponsor or a member who paints Spyders who would paint a Cognac Spyder white for SpyderAnn01? With over 12,000 members, we all ought to be able to toss a few bucks, each, in the hat and get it painted, at no cost to her! I was without my Spyder for only a couple weeks, and you can see from all the bit:cus:ing I did, that it was really driving me up a wall . . . I can't imagine where Ann's head is, now!

Thanks, but BRP's latest word to me is that they will try to ship me a RTS-SM6 in any color then change the panels to white when they become available. A loaner would have been awesome but they wouldn't give me one since I chose to wait to buy a 2014 instead of replacing my 2013 with another 2013.

Building one color at a time is a manufacturing technique from the 1960's. Ridiculous. Modern manufacturing techniques are to build what the customer wants WHEN they want it!

Not with plastic molding or painting. You do a full run of one color, then you have to flush the molding/painting equipment completely before you can switch to the next color to avoid contamination. It would be cost-prohibitive to do short runs of each color. JIT (Just-In-Time) manufacturing only works for specialized products, and not even for everything in those categories.

Yep! It's from my Spyder Ambassador contest entry video. We had to shoot that scene 4-5 times because the chain kept coming off the mini-trike. My thighs were killing me the next day. nojoke
 
I sure I'm glad they don't make cars in batches of one color at a time. Car lots would look funny with all the same color cars sitting there. :roflblack: My work follows the "JIT" system as well and we have found with enough thinking you can find a way to do whatever you need to do for production needs.:yes::yes:
