Hi Andy, welcome and congrats for your stunning new toy

It looks like I've seen this 16M here in Switzerland as I don't think many of this colour combination exist in UK. That was 2 summers ago when I was driving through one of the mountain passes and stopped somewhere on a mountain road. Then suddenly appeared this stunning 16M and he stopped his car right behind my F430. We had a very nice chat and I explained him a couple of other nice mountain roads to try out. I followed him for a while and enjoyed so much the crazy loud sound of his car

Enjoy

Thanks for the warm welcome guys I've not had much chance to post since she was delivered Thursday as funnily enough I've been out driving

StefVan that's good to hear. If it was LHD it probably was my car. And I am more than happy to hear she has been used as intended in the Swiss Mountain passes.

We have a trip organised to Modena in September so she will be coming through again then. Although its a Morgan organised trip and I will be in the company of Aero's and Aeromax's it would be rude not to use the 16M wouldn't it

Hi Boxer, thanks for the welcome.

What time and for roughly how long? Will need clearance from SWMBO before I can automatically give the green light

Thanks Guys, hope to meet more of you soon!

As for the car, well it's something I feel you all already know. Having been away in GT type cars for a while (discounting the Pork) its so good to be in a sportscar, a Ferrari, and a special one too
