That feeling when you see a car and you MUST have it, not much beats it when she's yours

Driver's side seat bolster looks like it started to wear. Got to be careful of those getting in/out

Yes there is, was pointed to dealer and they said they would remedy it.
Car shall also be at Autobrite next month for a full seal and any areas such as that further addressed, thankfully its just on the leather and its easy to repair.

Very very nice mate.

Can't wait to see it!

Actually I'm more excited to hear it!

I see from the other thread the Jag has gone. You haven't by any chance picked this up today ? I was followed into Norton Canes services early this afternoon by a yellow Ferrari and had a bit of a WTF moment. Plate was G10 something.

Its hover craft edition!

They agreed to thoroughly examine the dampers for me prior to collection to ensure no oil leaks or misting and get a 4 wheel alignment check done, which is part of Ferrari used car programme anyway.

It's scratched, I'd reject it

FlapR · 26 Feb 2019 at 19:28

JediFragger · 26 Feb 2019 at 19:57

Potentially saying goodbye to mine in a few minutes (not a Ferrari alas) I can imagine your excitement, weird feeling saying bye to your loved car, different circumstances for me of course, but I remember only too well the drive down to pick mine up, a great feeling, enjoy it man!

I’ll look forward to your updates tomorrow to cheer me up!

Scania · 27 Feb 2019 at 06:02

D (F?) Day! :cool:

I’m wondering how long you’ve already been up for? - if you’ve slept at all!

Enjoy the day, should be one to remember.

Is this not man maths at its very best?

Servicing is a bonus.
I paid more to get the better car, newer, better spec and very rare colour.

In theory when I come to sell it should still be worth that 10k more.

Collection day is here!

Steedie · 27 Feb 2019 at 07:13

Today’s the day!

Enjoy mate!
