Hi everyone,
I have been lurking and researching for 6 months and finally picked up my F_Type today. I had a careful drive home in the wet and hopefully will have better weather over the weekend so I can have a play.
Thanks to SimpleR for running a couple of checks for me and to those of you who answered questions whilst I was researching........I'm sure I'll have many more over the next few weeks.

Cheers

Gary

I did smile a bit driving through the Mersey tunnel

Great choice! What shade of grey is that? What age is the car? Did you get a good deal on it? I’m looking for something similar myself.
Never buy a dwarf with learning difficulties. It’s not big and it’s not clever!

You know what? I have no idea what grey it is ..... but i need to know now.
I'm happy with my deal.....personally, I thought I could have gotten better in the current climate, but I really wanted THIS one. I had been to see a few and this was the one for me.
I think if you are prepared to wait and are open to colour choices .....you will get a good deal.

Tell us the paint code from the label in the passenger door jamb! ;)

Great news and congratulations.
I got mine early in lockdown and couldn’t really give it a proper blast for the first couple of weeks. Hopefully it will be dry for the weekend and you can properly stamp on the loud pedal😂
The sound in tunnels is amazing!
