Default Bought one and now have proof.

Hi All
It has taken a while to find this car.I had a friend who had a PFL S2000 about 10 years ago and I have wanted one ever since.Two years searching, saving and we found this 05 FL GT in Moonrock (I am reliably informed it is the fastest colour)with the red /black interior.
Garaged and the hardtop has been on most of its life, well until now that is. 27k miles but that will increase greatly when we depart shortly for the South of France.
I will add at this point my thanks to all the friends I have gained through ownership of this car already, especially in the Nw region (no names you know who you are), also a big thank you to the many owners who post valuable help and advice freely here.
I look forward to meeting many more of you over the coming years.

Plans are fluid at the moment. I am enjoying the car Na but do intend to get exhaust mod and induction fitted.When and if I start to need changes then Sc will be the way I would go.
But not at the moment.
I need more time just getting used to the feel of the handling as is
(Although I am starting to think it looks a little high).

Congrats. Silver is the fastest colour actually.

Ht almost all it's life? Hopefully the soft top vinyl doesn't tear when you put it up.

Surprisingly the soft top is as good as it was when it left the factory with no sign of wear at all.

I am sure when I was at the last NW meet someone told me the fastest colour was neither Black or Silver but Moonrock : )
Surprisingly he had a Moonrock too so both of us can't be wrong can we?

Thanks for the welcome everyone.
