Default Jelly Bean Has Arrived

Weather is somewhat damp here in Scotland so it will be a wee while before I post some decent photos, delighted with the car. Managed to crack the windscreen on the drive back to Scotland yesterday, keeping good distance from all the vehicles on the motorway (freeway) as I am having the front protected by Paintsheild in London early January, but I nearly jumped out of my skin by the bang when something hit the car. Stopped at the next service station and checked the bodywork and found a small chip in the front screen around the black edge so very close to the roofline. This morning it had progressed to a 6" crack. To be honest I am so happy it was not the bodywork. Roads here are rather greasy and limiting myself to 5,000 rpm still breaks traction in the lower ratios.

Options from memory are the following

Clubsport with heated CF buckets
Front Lift
Sports Chromo
Dab Radio
Upgraded sounds
Black PDLS
Mobile Phone prep
Sat Nav

Congratulations and sorry about the crack! Colour looks great! Mexico or voodoo? Hard to tell with the lighting.

Awesome color. Congrats and sorry for the windshield crack. Better that than the body.
CF (ROW) buckets can come heated? Was that the case with the GT2 buckets for 997/987 in USA too?

hf1, this is the first time that the CF's have been offered with the wired option. Personally I was going to give the heated option a miss but sales suggested that is might be desirable in the future, it was low cost unlike Sports Chromo!

<3mph, its actually Riviera Blue but can be very deceiving depending on light conditions. I knew it was close and often mistaken for Mexico but under some floodlights you would swear it was Voodoo

What is it with you Scots. Do you all have to live in castles? What, does it have a name like "Skyfall?" And, your GT3, I'd say you named her Gwendolyn or some other cutesie sounding UK girlish name too, didn't ya?

Dan (offers congrats on the blue jellybean)

Gorgeous color! Amazing how stones manage to seek out these cars. Sorry for that, but congrats on a beautiful GT3.
