Default Deposit put down on a Project 8

Well folks, On Monday afternoon I placed my deposit on the upcoming Project 8.

There are only 3 cars destined for Canada and my dealer assures me, he has an allocation (hopefully he's correct).

Deliveries to start sometime in 2018.

Nah, Zach is one of us, though no doubt the XE forum would be interested too. Cool, Zach!

Once again Zach you are my hero! I find that project almost as irresistible as the Project 7. I just love the way it makes the M4 GTS largely irrelevant. Saw the video of its Goodwood run. Can you get the rollcage version in Canada or are they not allowing that in North America at all?

Oh and my offer still stands Zach, Im available for adoption

Nice! That's gonna be one hell of a car. Do they only come in that orange color? If not, what color are you thinking?

Not sure about the track pack availability in North America. The online PDF says yes, but the video says no.

As for the adoption......Lisa and I will think about that.....Toilet trained?

8 colours, but they will custom paint what ever you want. Brochure attached.

Project 8 is rare in itself, as befits our latest Collector's Edition sports car.
No more than 300 will be made. To make your Project 8 even more exclusive,
there's the Bespoke By SVO Edition. This ensures you'll have a Project 8
that uniquely reflects your own personality.
Hand-picked by SVO's bespoke team, this specification offers the opportunity
to choose from 10,000 exterior paint and accent colours, bespoke racing-inspired
decals, personalised treadplates, anodised shift paddles, painted brake calipers
and commissioning plaque. It's a spectacular way to make a collector's car even
more special: a true one-off.

Quite the collection there Zach...how on earth do you house 22 cars? Do you have your own airplane hanger?

You need some hot rods....say a sweet '32 roadster?

I remember a picture of his garage a few cars ago. I think he mentioned he never sells. New picture would be nice!

This car in Nardo Grey or Frozen Silver would be epic.

I have an underground garage that houses all my cars at my home.

Sorry, no muscle cars for me.
