Gone and bought one..
After my child seat fitment thread on here I gave my self the go ahead to purchase one..
I found a lovely Sophisto grey one with carop leather, and frosted accents at a dealership that were doing delivery's due to Covid 19, it arrived by covered transporter which was great. This arrived yesterday Looking forward to when I can have a proper drive It certainly seems much wider in the flesh than in photos |

Thanks guys Did a first drive today to get my medication,
It does seem to get some looks! Ionicsilver, Hehe, I must admit, when trawling through Autotrader, that was one of the first things I looked at!Especially with the turbine wheels |

Great choice!
I'm on my second i8 - both the same color as yours - but with the frozen blue stripe. It's always pure pleasure driving this car. Congrats! |

Thanks guys
I can see they would get under your skin! Good from Wednesday to be able to take it for a drive to have a walk! From the drives I've done, I didn't realise how many people would notice it, some people know what it is.. |

Oh yeah, you will get a LOT of attention, especially kids! Had someone once follow me off the M1 into a service station because he wanted to see it close up, a bit creepy, but he was fine lol!! Its the opening of the doors that really gets people going!!

Still gets people stopping walking to stare! Your right there, kids seem to love it, Give them a thumbs up! Hehe, they very much wanted to see it! Very true about the doors, I'm still getting to grips with them, opened them today, and banged my head on the way out! |
