8-Legs and 91,000+ miles in . . .

[khushy]

haven't checked in for a while, so just thought I would say hi :-)

Had the 987 Spyder since Jan 2011 when it had just 900 miles on the clock - last week, it ticked over 91,000 miles and I have loved every single one of them

THE HIGHS

FAST AS FECK! - the handling - the noise - the seats - wind on my scalp - the looks - 30+ mpg - 20,000 servicing - 15,000 on a set of rear tyres - 22,000 on a set of fronts - 80,000 miles on a set of disks, paddle shift - pdk - can fit two bicycles in it - can fit a bicycle and a passenger in it - can fit 12 bags of horse manure in it + passenger - the roof blah blah blah

THE LOWS

one control relay and a slightly rusty set of tail pipe ends

---

I love it, and it still looks like it did the day I got it - makes me smile and makes any journey an event and still fast as feck!

ta ra for now

Amazing!
Nice to hear from you again,thought you had sold the spyder and moved on!
Good to hear the news that the new cars(gen2)are good for high miles with little costs!
How does the engine feel after 91k miles?

Great to hear someone using their Porsche.

How do you transport bikes? Roof rack or web?

[Magic919]

In tiny pieces I expect.

Good to see someone giving the car plenty of use.

Yeh yeh yeh, bla bla.....

Whats it worth though?

Good to hear from you and pleased you still have the Spyder. That is some mileage and with virtually zero defects.

[SFO]

you must have the highest mileage 987 Spyder in the world

Who cares, it's not for sale!

That's a blast from the past! Good to see the car driven as it was designed for. I'm only on 7,000 miles five years which I means it's not even properly 'run-in'. Note to self - get out more.

BiKES in a Spyder 101 . . .

OPTION A - one bike + passenger + driver = strip bike of wheels, chain, cranks and disconnect handlebars from stem, then insert frame & bars + all your kit in the rear boot and wheels + more kit into the front boot

OPTION B - two bikes + driver = as above except 3 wheels in the front boot, second bike upside down in the passenger seat minus the front wheel with the passenger window open hahahahaha
