• 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.

What is the SPYDER History?

That must be when the Valmont made it's appearance... :dontknow:
Valmont: Valley and Mountains.
They were trying to follow the T'NT naming guidelines.

Correct. For 1971 names changed again for the twin tracked model as the Invader actually became the Valmont. The twin tracked Alpine then got a longer chassis (103" went out to 113 3/4") and a full set of extra bogies, being called the "workhorse in the ski-doo stable".

So there was an Alpine 640E in 1969. Then an Invader 640ER in 1970, which changed to the Valmont 640ER in 1971, but also with a return of a 640ER Alpine but with a longer chassis for 1971. Whew.
