As promised, here's the report. I went to the dealer, SF British Motors yesterday to make my choice of F Type colors. The IRR, well equipped was on the show room floor and it was love at first sight.

Three words were spoken to the GM, "I'll take it" Glad I did...

Thanks to everyone for the advice and feedback.

Dave

 

Congrats Dave, and great choice!

 

That is one decision you will never regret! I love my IRR R more everyday! Congrats - smart choice.

 

Congratulations.

(P.S. There is no dumb choice).

Happy motoring.

 

Congrats!

Pics or it didn't happen....

 

OK, that's enough people buying IRR... I thought White was too popular so I got IRR myself.

It's time they discontinue the color. Keep them semi unique...

Oh, who am I kidding, the F-Type itself is pretty darn unique!

Great choice! You're gonna love it!

 

TXJagR; While this could just as easily been PM'd to you - and, yes, it's a quick highjacking of this thread - but I'm sure I'm not alone hoping life is ever-so-slightly-better (different) given what you and your son went through [with the passing of your wife, for those unaware] and that the F-Type (and your son's WRX) is/are providing both of you with some of the pleasures of life?

Here's wishing you the best and happy and healthy motoring.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled thread...already in progress.

Best regards,
Jay

 

Continuing with the high-jack... one last comment...

Life is getting better. I will NEVER forget the past, but I have learned that life must go on, and cars have always been a passion of mine. Learning to enjoy life again is truly a process, but sports cars, and time with my son help me heal. Thank you! (To the few people who think I am compensating for something... well, maybe I am, but tough crap, I'm the one that has to live with myself in the mirror every morning.)

Now, back to the regularly scheduled program.

 

1) I'm quite certain Tahoe Dave doesn't mind the temporary high-jacking of his thread.
2) Of course you will never forget the past and your wife!
3) Having a or many passions is vital. Cars are a great one in not just my opinion.
4) Doubtful - highly doubtful - anyone thinks you're doing anything but taking care of yourself and your son and trying to enjoy life again. And in the unlikely event anyone - here on this Forum or elsewhere - thinks differently, the hell with them!!!
5) Carpe diem!!!

Best regards,
Jay

 

Good choice - well done Sir!

 

Sweet! Post some pictures when you get it home! Life is too short. Now get out and enjoy yourself...

 

I get as many complements on the colour (IRR) as I do on the car itself. Right choice.

 

For those that requested a picture...

 

I don't like it. Are you sure you haven't made a big mistake???

Naaah, just kidding - looks beautiful!!!

 

That's one sharp - stunning - looking car you got there Tahoe Dave, congratulations!

And unless you're planning on a wheel change, it would appear that propeller wheels are making a "comeback".

Happy Motoring.

Best regards,
Jay

 

Looks like you have what I'm still waiting for (except for the pano roof)

Congrats!

 

It really looks different without the Pano roof but just as beautiful! Like the wheels. Enjoy!

 

Looks great!

 

Very nice! You are going to love it! Enjoy!
