Has anyone taken delivery of storm grey yet?

We were both at the same fork in the road. You went one way, I went the other. Still waiting to see how my decision looks in the driveway. Counting the days ...

Doh, those pics have really thrown me off
the overcast pics look alot like stratus
this is what i thought storm grey would look like (in the background while talking looks like a dark grey - plates are identical to storm grey rolling shot car), but your pics show it being more of a blue/grey, especially overcast
are the pics on screen a true representation of the actual colour?
otherwise i think it's the silver wheels and chrome trim which is throwing me off, or the paint is a heavy metallic and changes hue

This colour is really difficult to pin down as it is very reactive to differing lighting conditions. In overcast it looks like the colour in the second video, in bright sunlight it's more like the colour of the car in the first video!
To me it's definitely grey rather than blue, and sunlight shows it off at its best as the metallic flecks absolutely zing.
I've only had extremely positive comments on the colour. I'd recommend trying to see one in the flesh if at all possible.

These a pretty close in my opinion.

Thanks! More photos please!
Thanks so much for posting these. I've ordered an 'R' in Storm Grey but have to wait until October 😢. Would be most appreciated if you would post some more photos 😎

I was on the same fence and ended up deciding between the two having never seen either in person. I still haven't seen either in person, but am trying to not second-guess my decision. In the end I opted for storm grey, hoping it's like the color of my 1978 Saab 99 Turbo (anthracite).

Some friends and I have run a '79 900 Turbo in a few LeMons races. We've had, shall we say, mixed results. We did get prominent mention in the C&D LeMons blog though, plus a few pictures.
I'm looking to convert the LeMons car and my 78 to Megasquirt. I've been collecting parts to make that happen, and built a Megasquirt from parts. Just need time to finish that project.

I'm glad we get choices. I didn't want to keep seeing dopplegangers of my car.
EDIT: I was at the dealer yesterday to ask them to order the proper badge for the rear of mine, and saw a status grey there. They are pretty close.
