What's the spec? That's quite a Colour!
Re: Cheering myself up…
2.0 T, R Spec Ingenium. 8 speed ZF pretty much every option box ticked that I can see. I love the colour, transforms it from the more mundane ones.

Guy at work had one as a company car, that's a colour that proper pops in the right light.

Nice! My daughter would be bouncing up and down with joy as purple is *her* colour.

That's pretty much the colour I'm going to paint the Chimaera in when I do a full repaint. A welcome change from the standard grey/black/white that we seem to have everywhere.

Wow, lovely. Looks like your phone's HDR was turned up to twelvety.
Good shopping!

That'll cheer up a dull day! 
Got my M340 in Portimao Blue for much the same reason.

Re: Cheering myself up…
There is an F Type in that colour I see regularly and in bright sunlight it looks really rather special, good choice.

Thanks for the comments guys, it's bittersweet at the moment, the first thing I used to do when I got a new car was to take it to show my dad.

I still get that, I'm afraid. Doubt it'll go away.

Nice. I very very very nearly bought a similar one. Does it have the adaptive suspension? It's the 300 horse one?

Re: Cheering myself up…
I'm still discovering what it has but I believe it has the adaptive suspension. 197bhp as Rich said but booked in for a remap next month.Explosive Newt wrote: Sat May 07, 2022 12:05 am Nice. I very very very nearly bought a similar one. Does it have the adaptive suspension? It's the 300 horse one?

That colour looks even better in the flesh.

I'm thinking of the newer models (the P300 is a 2.0 turbo inline 4 and runs AWD as standard).Rich B wrote: Sat May 07, 2022 6:56 am2.0T is 197bhp?Explosive Newt wrote: Sat May 07, 2022 12:05 am Nice.

I found they handle brilliantly for British roads. Hope you enjoy it!
