Hi David, that’ll be mine. A friend of mine would have been driving it around that neck of the woods - wheels were being refurbed.

Yes it’s one of “20”, which is really one of 16. My spyder has probably done even less miles whistle

Thats the cat.
It looked the cats whiskers alright.

My car eye is still sharp as a needle.
The other 4 cars were uprated to 2.2?

987 spyder eluded me in 2011. Ducks were lined up in 2016 for a 981 though.

Credit where credit’s due, not many would know the car I bet.

I don’t think the others were updated as far as I know. I think there were rumours though. Do you know they were? The “press” car is for sale - very rarely come up.

And the spyder is a wonderful drivers’ car. Not driven a 981, but did have a 991 GT3 for a bit, but didn’t think the e steering was anywhere near as good as the non e on earlier GT3s, so sold it pretty quickly. That’s the reason I’ve never bothered exploring the later Spyders.

I wouldn't confuse an fn2 and fd2 smile

I'm sure a recall a special MR fn2 with Mugen extras, no rear seats, revised k20, etc.

Sounds like you know more than I do - not difficult! But never seen a red one. Off to YouTube!

School day for me too. This is the red one I was referring to, maybe the development car for your model?

981 steering is ok .
Coming out of a decent electric rack in a 200 clio would be my reference point .
Rest of the car is mega so hard to know what else to replace it for if i were too.

Evo tested the 2.2:
