I've been lurking here for a while and also looking for my ideal car. Great source of info and you lot seem like a friendly bunch. Can I join please?
I've spent months looking at allsorts of mid range toys but I kept coming back to the F-Type for so many good reasons. Anyway a couple of weeks ago I found a nice one with all my must have toys and a few extras thrown in, plus the right price. So I am now a very very proud owner of a 340 Coupé. I'm happy, but more importantly, I think Mrs Midlife is too. Win-win! I'll probably now spend too long fettling it But how long is too long?
I've gone and done it!
Well done......it's a great feeling!
Nowt wrong with a bit of fettling.....how long is a piece of string!

Thanks for your friendly welcoming messages. I've put almost 800 miles on her already and love it. It was meant to be my fairweather/weekend toy. Oh well the best laid plans and all that!
Things I like:
1) Almost everything.
Things I'm learning to live with:
1) Waking the neighbours at 5 am. I see the new model has quiet mode start. Is there a retrofit coming soon? Mine can do it when starting up from auto stop/start so it IS possible.
2) I'm now wondering if I should have invested in 2 extra cylinders

Between toys
If you select D straight after startup it'll quieten it down (notwithstanding any "clunk" issues you may have) ....
I'm assuming the 5am is when you leave, not when you return!
