It is a beautiful F-Type! I thought at first I would go with the white, but changed to the Stratus Gray. How long from order until delivery?

I got lucky I guess. My dealer had this one built and in bound. I had about a 1 month wait. If I had ordered it there would only have been two differences. I would have ordered different wheels (easily solved with aftermarket wheels) and the flat bottom steering wheel. Other than those changes, this is what I would have built.

Ha! Actually we've been having flash floods. A friend dropped me off at the dealership to pick it up last night. After leaving, 2 blocks from the dealership her new Lexus got caught in rising water, flooded it up to the windows . I managed to get the new baby home fairly late after the waters receded. More flooding today, but managed to get a couple of shots between storms. So here ya go PD, Stratus Grey and Blade wheels at twilight.

DAMN...that is sexy as it get's...especially that last picture showing the rear 3/4 angle!

It seriously doesn't get any better than that...and the main reason why I bought the car without even test driving it

Congrats gents, beautiful cars. I've had mine for almost 2 months now and enjoying it more each day, a very special car. Get ready to have your photo taken a lot...this thing really draws attention.

Ftype-R, nice to see a fellow GTR owner that appreciates the Type R. You have excellent taste sir :-)

Congrats! Love the Stratus Gray too. It was my second choice. I'm going with aftermarket wheels in satin bronze or black. Should have them in about a month.

If anyone is in the market for a barely used set of Tornado wheels, shoot me a PM.

Loving the white...I seen one at the dealer's today. I was driving my white 2013 SLK55 AMG. I find my SLK in white looks a bit girly, but white on the F-type looks hot. Oh, do you miss your GT-R?
