Agree - they’re great (but 900 for an oil change..?)

The scratch comment is bang on. Wherever someone is financially is obviously always a factor, but to paraphrase a good friend who passed way too young, “I wish I’d have ordered the filet when I wanted it “.

Amazon has these under a different brand name but same product.

After extensive research, I got these. They’re thin, simple unobtrusive, don’t have a glossy finish, non-rattle, and match great with my black plate.

Your and Kit Kat’s threads / journals are some of the best, most enjoyable long term posts.

Tan, all the way for me. After a year of mulling it over and looking at countless photos, I think tan - really a cognac - contrasts beautifully and deeply with the purple undertone of Atlantis. And I get constant compliments specifically on the Atlantis / tan (cognac) combination. To me, ice is...

I posted earlier in another thread that I’ve always sought out manuals in whatever I’ve bought over the years, and noted the passionate manual following this side of the Atlantic, so I thought this Acura advert in the Road & Track I received in the mailbox today was cool. I think Acura’s box is...

Excellent - thanks. I’m now back again into the agonizing fun of too much time on the configurator, but this time with the (only) given of PH.

As a guy precariously close to replacing mine when PH becomes available here, have to ask about the interior, wheels, calipers, and black pack you speced.

This is the simplest, legally correct approach. Whether the dealer capitulates is another matter. Find a reputable attorney, preferably through a referral you trust, who will send the letter for a reasonable fee.

Well said in thinking about classics I’ve lusted after, coincidentally including this one

Personal taste and mindset, as always, but I wholeheartedly agree with your stablemate.

Posted earlier: my dealer quoted $900, but think I was dressed too nicely when I stopped by for the quote.

Interesting reminder regarding manuals in the UK. You’re probably aware of the relatively small but passionate crowd on this side of the Atlantic on a campaign to save the manuals, and the notion in some quarters here that a manual can be one sign of an enthusiast. Since the time I started...

Candidly, Hethel and the British car heritage were part of the allure for me.

I love these guys - they’re in my backyard (please don’t move here 😊).

Dealer rep just said it’s available for order end of July-ish, production in October. Oh no - I’m in trouble now.

Well said. And having your first drive of the car home from the dealership being through a crowded expressway construction zone during rush hour with snaking orange barrels, choppy pavement, and narrow temporary lanes was absolutely the wrong intro to a car that 1,100 miles later proved to be...

Sliver makes the wheels look a bit bigger, but you’re right. I’m already starting to agonize over the configuration, hope it’s not in vain.

Contacted my dealer this morning - he’s aware of the color, confirmed it’s not available here yet, promised to keep me posted.

100% I’d have ordered Purple Haze had it been available.

Way happy for you (see my separate post on Chapman Bespoke in the Wild), and green with envy. 🤣

Salt Lake City. In bright sunlight it’s almost hypnotic. The depth of sparkle and flake is stunning. At some angles it has a bit of yellow/gold undertone. Probably the boldest color I’ve seen. Wouldn’t be my personal choice (I have Atlantis over Tan) but couldn’t take my eyes off it.

Didn’t expect to see one of these in my backyard. 1of 60.

So that explains it, eh? The $300 appearance discount/upcharge. Let’s do the cruise if we can make it work.

I musta been dressed too nicely that day. Raggedy shorts and t shirt next time.

Yep, earlier this month, kinda floored me (wonder if they’ll price match what they quote other customers . . .)

When I asked about it, the answer was essentially that it wasn’t out of the ordinary. Still annoyed me a bit (as did the $900 quote for an oil change). I echo the sentiment that the guys there are all A-plus, brand champions, and highly knowledgeable, terrific to work with, but this is an...

That worked - thanks!

I have a late 2024 build, sensors stopped working in reverse. Anyone have this experience?

No doubt. I was originally on the list with Vegas, but eventually faced the reality that I couldn’t deal with the logistics or time commitment of having to drive or truck it there (for service/warranty work) so dropped of the list, with a full deposit refund with no hassle from Vegas, and...

Fantastic - in your backyard.

Holy cow - thanks for taking the time to send this detail and suggestion. Coincidentally, I bought this very funnel last week for a different use (so I’m halfway there, yes?) and now have $750 to apply to a new Quickjack.

I’d seen the video - lack of a lift caused my inquiry. The quote is crazy town.
