    Very nice! Beautiful color and very nice color combination!

    Just make sure you are aware of the idiosyncrasies of the F1 gearbox (for example, don't reverse uphill, always drive in sport mode, avoid stop&go traffic, etc).

    Thanks everybody. 'Blue, while researching these cars I've read every post you've made here and all the stuff on ML about clutch care, sport mode, etc... Thanks for all the info!

    I was about to buy a black Exec automatic car that was very classy, but this one just tripped some triggers, and drove really nicely, plus it was just 4 hrs from home. I wish it was the Sport GT for the wheels, but the wood interior and especially the wooden steering wheel.... mmmm, so nice. The feel of the wheel bring back memories of our old Ferrari 330 and old muscle cars with wood wheels.

    Interesting item in the service records, about 10k miles ago the car was in for a pilot bearing noise that was repaired under warranty. While it was being repaired, the customer bought new cluch parts while it was opened up, so he got a new dealer installed clutch for $1400. Pretty good timing.
