I can definitely understand...amazing color!

My dream for my next ride would be to find a 4.2L XKR in botanical green, with full caramel interior, walnut burl trim, Alpine or B&W stereo, 10-way adjustable seats and heated steering wheel...and possibly windshield as well.
But I agree that makes a lot of criteria to fulfill...

Took a couple days, but I finished a full paint correction and Graphene coating. Looking as she should.

Thanks WM. I hear ya. It took me about 8 full hours and my back is feeling it, but I was quoted $2k for a full correction and ceramic coating and just could not stomach that when I knew I could do it myself. My old Griots polisher and about $60 in products and I'm thrilled with the results. Shouldn't have to do it again for a long while.

Cheers

She is beautiful indeed which is why I bought her. I was supposed to buy a winter hack but this was at the auction with only 32k on the clock 4 years ago. I drive this 1999 in the summer months when its not raining. Owned her for 7 years now.

1999 82k miles.

Guess I should have been more specific. I like the design/apperance of the entire front of the X100. But the XKR grill is a nice added touch.👌

Freshly lowered on Spires springs along with comprehensive suspension service (bunch of worn parts replaced). Drives like a new car and even with the slight lowering it clears all NYC speed humps I've encountered as well as my driveway angle.

That looks great!👍 The rear (especially) wheels, look fantastic in the side view! Much better fit in the wheel wells (arches).👊
