image_14475.jpg Jac has a great car, in great shape. It was a pleasure to meet you (our kids say thank you for the doughnuts)

[F Spider]

Jac, you have a PM

[jac]

My wife Vera. Plus another audi V8 in the background.

image_14466.jpg No problem. I realize it is a small show. I want to hear all about last weekend in CT. Just took the spyker out tonight in Albany. Went out to dinner with my wife and a friend from oneonta at a cool restaurant by u of albany.

[F Spider]

Not a big show, but it would be great to get to meet you. Tom, my friend, and east coast Spyker expert, will also be there. Maybe we can get together at our place, and go there together. I'll PM you the address.

[jac]

Sounds like fun. I'll see you there. I needed some help with my top anyway. I don't think I put it down properly.

[F Spider]

Jac, next Sunday is a car show at the fire department in Woodstock. We'll be there. Are you able to make it, or do you have a better suggestion?

[Wouter]

Great car,....I really love the shape of a C8. Its timeless. It looks great even after 10+ years. Enjoy you car and thanks for sharing this picture.

image_14458.jpg #116 out and about today. Finally got ny registered. Running great. Needs wax but we will get there.

[jac]

Thanks a ton for the help and I wouldn't have known these points without reading the forum. Keep them rolling please. Jack

[jac]

Yes. I have the small key. Yes I already figured to leave a window open just in case. I start all my cars monthly or have a tender on them. Tr6 is easy to bump start. Gallardo spyder not so much even with a 6 speed.

And make sure the car is not locked when the roof is up and the battery is switched of. Unless you have the windows open of course.

BTW Do you have the small key that fits in the lock near the wiper blade?

[F Spider]

The master switch under the front clamshell will turn off everything, but also resets the motor management computer. Make sure you have driven 20+ miles before you have to get an inspection sticker.

[jac]

Really I just needed to figure out how to shut the battery down for storage. We are getting rain this week. I might be able to sneak out for a cruise if the road salt washes away. Fingers crossed.

... I will be reading the owner's manual cover to cover tonight.

... reading? Hmmm. I never read anything in that manual, I must admit. Just turned on the engine and listened to it! ... and keep listening!

Welcome to the club!
