Hi guys and girls ! My car arrived to dealer last week. I will pick it up this Friday and first road trip is planned for oncoming weekend. Posted some pictures in Nimbus Grey thread, but to share my impressions its probably better to have separate thread. Car will live mostly on quite rough roads, so I went with touring suspension. No track action is planned.

As background, I own Exige V6 with EX460 upgrade which I use for trackdays and my wife drives 4,0 Boxster. Will use these as reference once I got to drive the car. Will come back with some comments next week if all sorts out like planned.

Congratulations she’s a beauty look forward to your review

Welcome, you know you are one of the most envied people on the planet right now

Very interested to hear a running commentary on how well the car is performing, especially against the other 2 great cars you own.

May I suggest calling in sick tomorrow and collecting your car?

Could be Harry’s Garage personnel. Lol

I’m pretty excited that he has the 718. The real world comparo will be telling.
I’m most interested in which is the better road tripper

You good sir are a hero.
Not only do you have great taste and have the same spec car as I have ordered you and your wife also have the other two cars on my wish list
A real world comparison would be very welcome not just by me I'm sure.
Enjoy getting to know your new purchase

Good guess, it is Komotec. I was told quite many cars are delivered to German dealers.

No pressure then if I have to report back so that 1000+ members here will be happy !

Being a Komotec customer I don't suppose you have any news as to when they will get a car for development?

This Nimbus Gray looks much better on real picture! Congratulations

So nice to see my exterior spec...so unusual to have only lower black pack and the red callipers...I think it looks so good with the white seats, though I went for the tan interior, which hopefully looks equally tasteful. Looking forward to your write ups of your early days experience...and welcome!

 

[TomE]

Congratulations. Look forward to hearing your impressions of driving and ownership, particularly given your comparison cars.

Hey that's my spec. You sure you don't want to sell it to me and keep some garage space clear?.. Congrats, it's beautiful and I look forward to your comments after your road trip. Welcome to the forum!

 

[VL3X]

Welcome and congrats! Can't wait to hear your feedback after owning it for a bit.
