Here you go. Will let you know when I drive it the full thought on it, but thus far (shhhh, snuck around the development) it is "frigging awesome"!!!!

Congrats! Looks great. Something tells me you'll still sneak it out anyway.

Exactly. I usually go dark colors, but this changes in the different times of day/sunlight, which made me go with it.

Thanks again!

I still haven't seen Ammonite Grey in person. I hadn't seen Storm Grey either when I made my decision, so I mentally flipped a coin and went with Storm. That looks beautiful. The Storm Grey also changes a little, picking up color from light and nearby objects, but it remains dark.

LOL.. Now that's funny...


Joe,

We're just glad everything went well and you're on the road to recovery. I know what it's like I as I haven't been able to drive since March 1st and will be able to again next week after doctor clearance. =)

Hi....the two colors are so nice that I agonized over making the best decision which is more art than science of course. I concluded either one looks awesome and found this one which suited my needs well. Storm Gray is also a beautiful color. In fact, I think all of the colors in this "F-Type" arsenal are well thought out, and show the design lines with a "unique sharpness", no matter the year, model or coupe vs. convertible. In fact some of the coupes look better in some of the colors, and some of the convertibles look better in others. All a matter of taste....but we are blessed to be able to get these cars and enjoy every rolling mile, as well as every parked second.

Good luck with your car as well......nice choice.

Awesome color, and enjoy yours as well.

Don't feel dense, Drs. orders not anything to do with waiting for the paint to dry, or mechanically :-)!!!!

Good luck with the wheels as well, and today is 13 days and counting. I'm like a kid in a chocolate factory, but the chocolate is behind the glass and I can't reach it :-)!

Enjoy the week!

The grass looks so much sweeter, and smells so much better from this side of the ground :-)!!! In the big scheme of things...., it was 4-6 weeks, and now is only 2...., and time has flown by, as it has only been sitting in the garage for 1.5 weeks or so now. Not that bad. Shhhhh, I did sneak it out around the development, and man what a rush!!!!
