Spyder!

Wow...... THAT'S the article that sold the Spyder to me....... reading that they used weight belts on the passenger made me think about the amount of research they were putting into it........ I was surprised at the price and even more surprised when I finally heard of all the other little 'gizmos' they added.....

So I bought one....... and one day........ I'll actually get to have it! LOL

Lot's of visual clues that it is a Spyder.

Yes. No doubt about that. Look at the dates of the submissions below (all in 2006). This was one of the pre-production Spyders. Looks good in black too!

:agree:
that is without a doubt the Spyder!!! The ad is from December of 2006!
The accent the guy had must have been French Canadian!

I hope no one REALLY thought I was serious when I said it's a BMW......of course it's a Spyder. That goes without saying !

I understood the accent was German, that's why they thought it was from BMW. The accent could have been German since Bosch worked on the stability program OR Austrian since its a Rotax motor. I believe the report said the guys that were testing it had a laptop set up and plugged in so I would guess they were from Bosch or Rotax.

Same here,matusky. This is the first article I saw at a computer tech site I frequent. Nobody knew what it was. I was mesmerized by it and a few days later the mystery was solved.

Wish they would have done a little more research on putting a hand brake on the Spyder. : :spyder:
