Thumbs Up My Spider LE is arriving on Thurs. :-)
Hello all. Just joined the site as my new Spider LE is arriving on Thursday! Ordered it at the beginning of May, so I'm feeling quite stoked. :-D Not sure what to expect from this site as I've read a few threads where it's obvious the creator doesn't actually have an LE and is just Blog stirring, but I'm hoping to get some honest feedback etc. I hear the 2.2 is a bit tight to begin with? What's the running-in miliage/restrictments? I've got a very quick Barchetta Abarth at the mo (leather, hard-top, 17 inch alloys, Webber ***** FI etc) so I'm not looking forward to a long 4k rev limit run-in... but as Will Smith once said, "Two miles an hour so everybody sees you." ;-)

I've gone for the only colour an Italian car should be, so I'l post some pics once I have it. 8-)

Hello and welcome to AO - 4k rpm for around 1 - 1.5k miles and away you go.

You will be shocked by the difference at 5k miles though

Yes. I got it, but I was going on holiday the next day, so I only got to do 40 miles in it before going away! I've just got back today and been out in it all eve. I am also over the moon with mine. What colour did you go for? I'll have to post some pics on here soon.

Thanks for the info. I'm currently up to 296 miles, so a fair way to go yet!
