Welcome! So much to learn and enjoy around here. Like you, I spent a lot of time reading on this site, educating myself prior to purchase. So glad I did.

I am a soft California boy that has been hardened by his best friend here in San Francisco, a true Philly native. You absolutely can not take the Philly out of the guy, apparently.

Welcome and enjoy heartily.
haha, oh man, I did not notice that typo. But yes, I do come from the future and unfortunately all the Jags are now electric/jet powered. The Expanse was a good show. And yes, Philly def hardens you a bit to the point that when I travel and someone smiles or says hi to me on the street, I instinctively think like what the hell is their problem. I often forget that people can be generally pleasant in other parts of the country.

Have not seen too many F-Types in Philly but I did see a black F-Type R hauling *** off of Kelly drive the other day. Think he saw me and greeted me with a WOT and some crackles and pops. Anyway, nice to meet you all!



Bizzarre - I had to double take on those photos, looks so much like a British street it's uncanny!
No license (number) plates on the front of the cars gave it away though.

Nice choice - IRR are the fastest F's!

On a narrow street lined with brick two story buildings, I'll bet starting it up at about 5 AM with the exhaust headers open would get you in good graces with your neighbors !
Beautiful color.

Keep me posted if you're getting a group together - I'm in King of Prussia, and would bring the Harpsmobile - my blue 2017 British Design Edition Model S. It'd be fun having a group of us zooming across the Turnpike to Lancaster. PM me with details.

haha, my neighbors are actually mostly car lovers so they don't mind. I try not to be obnoxious but they still ask me why I sold my boss 302 that had Roush exhausts and was way way louder than the Ftype.

I'm planning on being there by 8AM. It's a fairly good sized parking lot.

There were 5 F-Types at cars and coffee this morning. The most I have seen in one place at one time. Did any of you make it?
