I thought some of it was BS, though I do know a local guy who has raked up some huge bills but he tracks a far bit so like you said it comes with the territory and if you play hard then expect to pay hard for the pleasure.

It's kind of similar to the Vapour Grey I had on my XF. Depending on the light it too would either look brown/gold or deep silver. Two different car companies with very similar taste on what looks good, and two guys (yourself and I) that know a good thing when we see it.

P.S.
Keep us posted on how your time with the car is working out and of course the things you meet on your journeys, if you know what I mean.
