I'll try to take some more pictures if anyone's interested once I get it cleaned up. Had to drive it 350 miles home and it was mostly in the dark. :( Impressions so far are... I LOVE this car. It's light years ahead of my 04 Cobra. I mean...wow. The suspension is amazing, the steering so direct, and the exhaust note is intoxicating. And I'm one of those who HATED the sound when the R was unveiled earlier this year. Funny how things change. :D I miss the all the goodies that the Tech Pack offers but I know I would have been disappointed in the sound system anyway. I'll just upgrade that once I figure out what options are out there.

I used to think my Mystichrome was an attention-getter. This thing...people were driving by taking video and pictures. It's almost kind of uncomfortable. But the sheer joy of driving it makes everything around you unimportant. So glad I decided on this car and not some used exotic (which was what I was shooting for at one point) that most likely would have given me more trouble than it was worth after awhile.

A few crappy pics from the dealership when we picked it up.

Nice car and have fun driving it.

Thanks. Ha! I didn't even notice the appearance of the license plate holes until you pointed it out.

Heritage Ford? Did they hit you with a high ADM?

Not as high as some. Yes, I paid an ADM but I wanted the car before next year and it was fairly close. After searching high and low in CA the last couple months and being told nonsense like 20-50k over, I was...not thrilled with 10k over but it was better than the alternative. The grossest part of it was every time I talked to the dealer about the numbers or mentioned the ADM they didn't seem to want to discuss it. I don't know...just made it seem really shady. I know I'll probably regret paying it. But NOT for a very long time. :D Love this car!

Cool! No, I skipped on the cover. It's going to be garaged. I never covered my 04 either and managed to keep in in great condition. I figure I'll use that money on stereo upgrades instead.

Congrats... I have a Red/black TP on order, but every time I see the MG/B combo I begin to rethink it.... Looks great! As it breaks in please tell us more about it.

My original order was for RR with black roof. I don't think you can go wrong with ANY color. I think it would look great in pink. LOL

Beautiful car.

Thank you, sir. :)
