Right....like this: it goes from nearly black to WOW!

Part of our semi-regular Saturday breakfast at Jaguar Land Rover Scarborough, Maine. And, yes, I allow and actually appreciate their washing my car from time to time.

I believe I might have a few leftovers from the event last year. If you PM with your home address I’ll pop it (both the black & white and the blue and white as displayed by DJS) in the mail first chance I get; and assuming I have some left***.

MBourne and his lovely wife have generously produced them over the years featuring the logo which I design specifically for each event.

***I checked and indeed I have one of each. They are yours.

Ooo I appreciate that! However, since I wasn't part of that event I'd feel weird putting it on my car. Thanks very much anyway! I'll have to find one similar without the Magical Mystery Tour

I couldn't wait! Temps hit 55 and sunny skies. We went for a nice ride through central Mass. on routes 62, 140, 31, Princeton area, had a nice little lunch at the Prince Cafe, 1st visit, nice little place. Went on to Coffeeland in Clinton, good cappucino. Decent roads for the area. I'll wash it tomorrow. That's my pit mix Gigi. She's the sweetest dog I've ever had, just a little camera shy. I hope every driver in New England got a chance to get out today. It was a nice teaser.

I’ll let you in on a little secret (I’m exaggerating of course): the Bourne’s print enough of these—and have for each of the 7 events I’ve hosted—to not only provide 2 for each car in attendance but plenty for me to 1) hand out to many of the people and places we visit as a reminder “we were there” and 2) mail them to various F-Type forum members from NYC to L.A. to Texas to London, England, to Canada, etc.. In other words, there are countless people out there who have received these stickers—and lots more (including Continental-sponsored shirts)—who did not attend the event.

My offer to you still stands IF you’d like them. What you do with them is totally up to you (other than tossing them in the trash).

Nice drive, I’ve done some of that. Even warmer on Wed. I spent the day chainsawing, making room for the barn where my car will overwinter in the future.

We did the same, in western NJ and eastern PA. 150 miles of 'NICE RIDE'.Without any leaves on the trees, the views of the mountains and Delaware Water Gap were fantastic.

Didn't take any pictures tho', sorry.
Despite a strong rainstorm the other day, there was still a good bit of salt dust on the dry roads.

Haha interesting! Again thank you much, but I would not use them. Greatly appreciate your kindness.

Met a few aspiring photographers at the Katie's Cars and Coffee this past Saturday and they took a few photos afterwards.

Ha, thanks.

Wish I could combine the two and have the “best of both worlds.”

Does the SVR have the Sun reflecting glass and yours is tinted dark? Both options? Or did you have it tinted after buying

Also, how do you like the Continental Extreme Contact tires

Yes, I think it was around ‘16/‘17 that they switched the windshield, the SVR is a ‘17 or ‘18 but I may be wrong and mine is a pre-window change ‘16.

I had the tint applied after buying and the SVR does not have a tint.

I like the Conties, the road noise is relatively quiet. I’ve driven it in rain storms a few times and felt pretty confident but I was by no means pushing it. Good traction when dry even when it’s freezing outside.

I’ve thought about it. I’m learning my way around this car and looking to be able to do as much as I possibly can in terms of maintaining it myself. I could see myself with a herd of F types before 2025.
