muchos congrats! It looks like it doesn't have a sunroof, is that right? If so, that's rare. really nice color, too.
Cheers,

Nope it has a sunroof. The body is Garnet Metallic Red and the inside is also wine colored leather and carpeting.

Newbie advice--dont lift off the gas pedal in a turn if you are pushing the limits. she'll spin. Looks great ...have fun.

Congrats! Beautiful car.
Ssuggestion: start reading posts on things like maintenance and checking your oil level (the search button is your friend). Also get at least one or two books like 101 Projects (Sold by our sponsor) and Bentleys repair manual.

Oh yea, you're going to love this. Half the fun is owning/driving it, the other half is reading this board and learning so much about your car. That's a nice car. Did you buy it on the Island or in the Lower Mainland?
