Very sorry to hear this! Best wishes for the future.

Pleased to have found this thanks very helpful and an inexpensive fix. I see a lot of Spyders show sign of wear just above the roof gutters and this caused by the ends of the loose bar wearing and puncturing the hood presumably as the elastic weakens it doesn't pull the bar clear of the hood. I...

For what it is worth: I just fitted PZero Rosso N4 all round on The Spyder yesterday, replacing the previous PZeroes. Obviously very happy with them. I did consider the latest Goodyear F1 but they weren't readily available. Found the Michelins to be spectacularly wanting on the Ghibli years ago!

I've pulled! Of course you can have a ride........delighted to.

Hi Andy, I have paid you (it's left my account!) for Rich & I sharing the Ghibli and for Nat in his A3. It will be good to catch up again. Thanks Malcolm

Great stuff Andy thanks. My eldest Nat is up for it too with his A3 he brought down before. So if you have another space we can fill it...........

Hi One & All, Thanks for the "Heads up" Andy. Just skimmed the thread quickly, Did I read it right? £81.00? I'm in and will speak to Rich. I'll bring the Ghibli, We still haven't put the manual box in and she still looks scruffy, however she still surprises many! :) I will pay to your usual...

Hi Andy, Regret can't be with you for this one I'm at Castle Coombe the day before!............the beastie will have to have a rest. Rich and I also have a track day in September before going to the Revival on the saturday..........Diary is getting clogged with petrol residue! No doubt it...

It's a very long time since I went up a mast.......several stones a go in fact................but I don't remember anything dangling......maybe your harness is bigger! :)

The XS incident seems familia, so does the boat or it's reputation..........we split the rudder in half vertically doing the same thing on the X362......................Kite up and we dropped down a swell; just skimmed the boiler with the keel, missed the sail drive and sheered the rudder blade...

Ooh err I have never known anyone keep a camera up their backside before!!! Racing out of Cherbourg sounds interesting............................Have you done the Tour de Finnesterre? I campaigned an X362 for a number of years before I joined the HOD35

Hey BJL.......Do you race out of Poole? IF so perhaps you race against Jim Macgregor (Flair) or Neville Hodkin (Xtra Djinn)? I am a Lymington Man was Main Trimmer on Zarafa, a Hod 35, for the last few years but stepped down at the beginning of this year to repair a hernia and focus on the...

If my memory serves me .......................the Maxi yacht (90 footer!) Alfa Romeo won the Sydney Hobart race in 2009, if she didn't take the record for shortest time. I seem to remember she came up to the northern hemissphere to compete the Fastnet as well.....saw her at...

Regret I have had to cry off, Andy knows and my son Nat has filled my booking with one of his buddies! You all play nicely together and have a great time! See you next time!

I have always liked both the Alpines and the Esprits to be fair!
