After 8 months of waiting I'm soon to be rewarded with delivery of my Tungsten roadster.

My guys headed up north to Green Bay to take delivery on Thursday. Yogi met them at the airport and took them straight to the shop. The boys say the car looks stunning. After loading it on to the trailer they're headed back to SoCal, estimated ETA is Sunday, weather permitting. I can barely wait.:eek

Yogi, thanks for extending your hospitality.

I'll post pics and a report after I receive it!

Kent, sometimes it's a bitch to be a vanguard. I'm anticipating a "it was worth the wait" post tomorrow. Congratulations!

I will post more pics in a bit, however, I just wanted to point out how much easier it is to load an X1 into a trailer.

I love how that rear looks - particularly in silver too. It gives it almost 'another-worldly' look, more technical somehow - great...!

What are the two small red elements at the top of the rear grille?

See your photos makes me more anxious than ever! My GT gets picked up next week if all goes well. Seeing your seats makes me think again about that upgrade. Looks great!

I wondered if that's what they were. Very cool looking!

Can't wait to see and hear more about this car. I have to say that I would be seriously tempted if this was available in the UK.

Very niicce ! :biggrin

How do I get a set of these cool silver seatvent buttons, or however you call them ?
Way cooler than the stadard black ones, looks like the concept !

Bony, the car will not be in Fresno for a while. They are flying it first over to Italy, so I can approve all on the Nardo track here before your trials and subsequent delivery to Kent ..:biggrin :biggrin
