Morning all....
as they say, long time lurker blah blah blah
after a lifetime of Mustangs, Camaros and Corvettes, I decided I need something more gentlemanly (If thats a word) as I near retirement.
Proud new owner of a 2019 SVR...absolutly love the platform and can't wait to learn more about it!

You are not alone, Similar background here

The F Type represents many things that don't come with the Pony cars, Vettes or Porsches.

BEST !

Nice pick. I really like that look

Gentlemanly but not when you don't want to be such!

Welcome to the camp (you all know why we're here)!! Nice color combination and the SVR's are great.
On the forum, you'll find lots of advice and love for the car. It's a good group!

Be sure to check out the "How To" sticky for lots of information and points:
Sticky "How To" Thread

Also, read through the "Any funny bystander reactions" thread to ready yourself for the new experience:
Bystander Reactions...

At 11 years old, I still get positive affirmation from bystanders about 50% of the times I'm out running errands - including today.
(Still waiting for one on the 911).

You are just 11 years old - and you have a driver's license? fantastic!

I don't need no stinking badges (or license).

Possibly this person is a "leap Year" baby which means his birthday (February 29th) has only happened every 4 years, making him approximately 44 years old in comparison to the rest of us.

Yesterday was the 11th anniversary of me taking delivery of my F-type. Good times. You also have excellent taste in color.

no way! I was literally looking at this car a month ago as I'm in the market for an SVR, this is the one in Florida right?

Congratulation on picking up a very rare car. They only made 109 SVR convertibles for the whole world in 2019 and only 29 of them were shipped to the US.
