So I picked the car up in Doncaster and drove it all the way back to Dundee.

The sun was out and when I saw the car my heart skipped a beat! It is the best looking car I've seen! Externally, I love everything about it. The wide skirts look great in person IMO - I certainly won't be doing a thing with them. The car looks extremely aggressive and that exhaust note in the flesh... :lol:

The only issue I had was with the seats! They're so firm! I think the previous owner has the lumbar support adjust to its most extreme as my back was aching by the time I got home. Will sit down and adjust the settings on Sunday when I have time.

I've learning how to make it pop and crackle - downshift when at 30/35 mph to say, 2nd gear and the pops and crackles follow.

How do I make it growl when inching along the road?

The distance from Doncaster to where I live and the full tank covered the journey - just about!

Here are some pics taken when I picked it up and stopped on the way home...Before I left for the journey home it was reading 4300 miles on the clock.

The white ones do look great. Lots more cleaning though.

Looks awesome! That's the way a white one should look IMO... Black pack and black wheels for a stunning contrast!

Enjoy!

I went to collect my new to me 2017 F Type R v8convertible last Wednesday, but the bumper alignment was so bad, they have kept it to adjust. Hoping to get it next week, but when I spoke to them on Friday they were still adjusting it.

Not a great start.
