As someone who has a chavvy rear wing, I couldn't comment 🤣

Ah, I hadn't spotted you have the fixed rear spoiler, I think it finishes the back of the car off nicely - I love mine! And no speed limit giveaways! ;)

No offence intended.

When you build online I thought it looked a lot more prominent but I quite like it with the colour combo.

I did swear off grey after my DB9 but that’s perhaps also because it was such a badly made car

That's a lovely colour and wheel combo.

I hope it's not 12 months, I've only just ordered :)

He may have just been speaking about the 575 R though.

You will be pleasantly surprised how frugal the v8s are. I regularly see early 30s on a run. Not that bad around town once warmed up either.

Looks lovely. Same colour as mine.

Looks lovely, congratulations. Re petrol station visits, would you rather put £99 in your Mondeo or your F-Type? No contest, methinks. Anyway, count smiles per gallon, not miles per gallon.

I was looking for someone else to comment this before I did, I’ve done a few test runs now in my 450 and I’m really surprised at the mpg on motorways and in traffic. Obviously didn’t buy a V8 for economy but it’s a nice bonus. E.g. Sunday got a very early start to sail down to Dorset, then a blast round the Jurassic coast, then really heavy traffic all the back, and still got 29. That’s better than my old Mk 2 Focus ST with the 2.5 turbo. The V8 is an amazing engine. Shell V Power 99 btw

I have just spent 2 hours driving back from the dealer the long way. What a car!

Handover was a great piece of show, the red box with the keys and hand written thank you note was a nice touch too.

The brutal acceleration though, just wow
