My Spyker experiences

I belong to the RPM Club in the UK and fell for the Spyker on a Scottish driving weekend. To be fair, I was already a fan - I remember being blown away by the Spyker at its first British Motor Show appearance and subsequently at Le Mans on various occasions.

Scotland was the first of several (so far) times I've driven a C8 Spyder. I love it!

Some photos from Scotland:

















And a video clip (already posted by SpykerOwner in the Videos thread).

+ YouTube Video

The Spyker was also a hit on an impromptu London Tunnel Run... I mean... what else sounds as good as a Spyker in a tunnel?









Attracted the attention of some ladies too...




We also had a Zonda on the run...

Nice pictures and vid! Do you maybe know the VIN of this car? Or can you maybe find out at the RPM Club? When I look at this car I think it is one of the first batch of car's that is build. Because it has no sidemarkers and the old style soft top.

You're right of course, it is an early car with a couple of later mods applied.

I was looking for it in the Register forum. I will find out the VIN and submit it.
