....after months of wait I finally got my hands on a low miles '05 (white with blue stripes). It's my first post here, but I must confess that this forum has been my bible for the last few months - this is truly a great community and it breathes passion for the FGT in every post - congrats everybody, and thanks.
It took 3 (loooooong) months to get my car from the US to the UK, had never driven in one before so you can only imagine how it felt the first time, must say it was really worth every second of the wait now!
I got the car with 2.4k miles on, being 26 (and a little bit stupid) I took it immediately for an (addictive) trip through Europe, so now the car has some 1.4k miles more, in just a weekend.
I am posting a few pic below, hope you like them. The route was London - brussels - frankfurt - schwarzwald - st moritz - san bernardino - stelvio - treviso. Some truly amazing roads in between, the FGT drove wonderfully and managed to generate crowds at each and every stops, people loved it and i started to feel like tom cruise.... :confused
Anyways, car is soon to be back in the UK through Autostrada dei Fiori - Montecarlo - Rue Napoleon, will keep you posted!!!
Again, thanks for the wonderful community...
P.s. the Borla GTX exhausts caused some problems (and some serious panic), first the scary yellow "check engine" light came on, which wasn't funny, then they overheated (together with some of my spirited driving) the clutch over the stelvio pass - see pick below - i got to the top of the pass and lost 50% of the clutch travel. Thank god I found some Aston Martin test drivers (testing the DBS new packages) who helped my diagnose fuel overheating rather than a full clutch breakdown... :eek

). Hairpins are a little bit wider and you can risk oversteering a bit w/o risking to much!
