I like the BRG more each time I see it. Might have chosen that color if I had seen more pics of it prior to ordering the IRR. Beautiful car!

Congrats! Love the color with the carbon brakes. Hope you've got some good weather in your area to enjoy it in this weekend.

Wow. Looks great, especially with yellow calipers. Let's see some more pics when you get it.

On the basis that the quick turn around might mean a few things get missed, make sure the car is programmed as instructed, that the windows autoclose, and take your phone with you to get it paired with the car.

Additionally, as you've hopefully something suitably "Ride of the Valkyrie"-like to accompany the exhaust valves, make sure the interior is buzz-free before setting off on the drive home.

Oh, and remember to enjoy your day.

This is like being 10 years old and waking up at 5AM on Christmas Day, but Dad said we are not allowed to go downstairs until 8AM, and Mom said I *might* get the Atari if Sister Mary Therese said my penmanship improved enough... but I only got a C- in penmanship... but what was that big box in the corner last night???

Oh now it is 5:01AM.... if I got the Atari, I really hope I got the E.T. game to go with it, because that was a great movie so the game cartridge must be excellent...

It's still 5:01AM....

That is a beautiful color--you have now made me regret (a little) going with all black. Perhaps when/if I trade in a few years?

I've just been out driving for a couple hours, and WOW. There needs to be a word for "the opposite of buyer's remorse". She is absolutely fantastic in every respect. Photos to follow after I get back from a weekend away.

Welcome to the "blown away by the F-Type club." It's one thing to read about it, but it's one of the few modern cars left with a "soul."

Be careful breaking it in. It's around page 140 in your manual.

supposedly you can't go above 4,000 RPMs for like the first 2,000 miles or so or something like that. and you have to vary the RPMs whatever that means (I think it means no highway cruise control).
