After lurking around on this forum for more than 3 years, and posting for a year, I am finally an official member. I first test drove a F-Type R in May 2015. By the first traffic light, I knew it was better than what I was then driving (a 5.2L V10 Audi); by the second light, I was thinking of all kinds of things around the house that I could sell to buy it... and then we got on the highway and I had to have it, I became obsessed. That was 3.5 years ago!

It took a long time for the stars to line up, but I finally drove one home today. It was a beautiful moment.

I just wanted to thank all of you. Over the past three years, your posts have often been the first thing I read in the morning... I have enjoyed all the conversations, and learned a ton. Thank you!

Here is the beast:

 

Wow, that silver/chrome color combo looks right..it reminds me of James Bond.

 

 

+1 Hell yeah brother, we finally did it, was totally worth the wait! This car is special, I sat in the in car in my garage for a good 20 minutes, because I was still too excited and couldn't sleep. Keep the discipline! and stay within parameters for the break in period, I've been a naughty boy in the regard, but OMG its so hard not to want to floor this thing ALL the time.

 

Great looking car. Only a few things are better than driving home an F type for the first time!

 

Welcome and congrats!!

 

Name three!

 

Congratulations! Silver is great color for F type. Do you have the glass panoramic roof or solid metal roof?

 

Congrats! That color combo does look great!

 

 

I have the glass panoramic. The interior is very cozy and I am borderline claustrophobic, so having some "opening" to the outside world was actually important to me! Thanks for your welcome.

 

Beautiful! But, aren't all F-Types?
I believe the panoramic roof is std equip beginning in 2019.

 

Nice car dude. You will have lots of fun.

 

Yes, very nice indeed. 007 must be a bit upset with "Q" for not moving him out of the Aston and into the F-Type.

 

Welcome to F Type ownership.
looks beautiful, enjoy !

 

I'm usually not a silver car guy but I must say...that R is SWEAT!!! Looks fantastic! Enjoy after such a long wait. Congrats!
