I'll share some Friday
I'm super excited. Really happy with the spec, I've compromised on colour though. It's metallic grey, unsure which one though as there seems to be a few.

Superb news. If grey then will be Alfieri, Granito and on later cars Lava. Did you buy via the forum?

It's a 2014, 64 plate.

Not via the forum. It was at a dearer fairly close by. I went and viewed it Saturday just for something to do really, without wasting a private person's time. Spent over 2 hours there and did a deal yesterday

You forgot Palladio. But if it's that I might have to hunt him down....

Probably for the best since Miriam Webster...

Gray and grey are both common spellings of the color between black and white. Gray is more frequent in American English, whereas grey is more common in British English. The varying usage of both grey and gray extends to specialized terms such as animal species (gray/grey whale) and scientific terms (gray/grey matter).

Excited for you. Have a great day and let us know how you get on.

Fabulous. Exciting and nerve wracking at once.

And publicly, can I express my gratitude for the correct usage of 'en route'

Super nerve wracking! A long time dream coming to fruition.

Super nerve wracking! A long time dream coming to fruition.

It will be worth every warning light, and panicked moment.

I recall when I picked up my 4200: Drove out of the dealer's onto the South circular I think it was. Literally 200yds up the road, PELICAN crossing. So feeling *jolly* smug, I saved my clutch by pulling both paddles to select neutral.
Lights go green. Pull on UP to select 1st. Nothing. Nada. Repeat with increasing urgency. Still nada. Hazards on. Huge queue behind me.
I mean, how stereo typical do you want. <1 minute into ownership and I'm stranded at the side of the road with hazards on in an Italian supercar. Engine off, back on. No difference.

Ponder options and then, as it so slowly does in my life, light dawns. It won't select gear unless your foot is on the brake......

Since then, never looked back (what is behind me is no longer important), well apart from the immediate transmission warnings on my GT of course...

Have a blast, and remember, you need to try pretty hard to look as stupid as I did

Lovely seats! Never realised they did carbon backed GT seats.
Stunning car, well done.
