Default Seeing Red, happily

Sadly, after writing a long introduction I was reviewing the post and lost it, I will report the many details but now am tired. Suffice to say I am delighted to join with my new (10 month old ex-dealer) F type S manual in Italian Racing red.
I will post pictures but none of the ones I have begin to do justice.
p.s. The car is AMAZING
p.p.s. Live/drive in Boston, Masachusetts

ABY JAG- I am envious- I had one come in to my local dealer, got real depressed when with the seat all the way down and back the vert top hit my head and my leg could not straighten out like in my x100 xkr, nor could I have any lean back with the seat all the way back. It was not built for 325 pound , 6'4" ex-football players. You have selected a beauty and will probably never find a car that will make you happier than this one.

I demo drove it anyway with my leg cramped and the top down to let me turn my head. My salesman was a woman with a over the shoulder tatoo. My test drive got a lot of horns and waves, but it might have been partly due to the woman too- but I will always cherish the exhaust notes forever. I used a redundancy there, but it was for emphasis, as this is a family forum. Enjoy your Cat!!

Sounds like a great test drive - I've often thought it a shame that cars don't come in various sizes like clothes so that you could choose any regardless of size. Sounds like you have a pretty cool caring the racing XKR though
