Hi All

Been lurking for a while now, finally got myself into a QP GTS 4.7 today so thought I better say hello. I joined originally as I was after a GS LE Spec then a 575 or a 612 and typical of me ended up in a GTS as I just can’t get enough of the design...still got to collect the car etc.

Will be a daily driver for me, currently 18k on the clock but with my driving if all goes well will soon be hitting 40-50k.

No doubt I will be asking the typical newbie questions soon.

Thanks Guys.

Can’t find it now but someone posted a picture of their grey GTS last week which was the final push I needed.

That is a stunning colour really does show all the curves! I need to get privacy glass looked into for my car.

Yep, obviously a little filter going on there but it's a cracking colour. Just want to tint the orange parts of the headlights now

Yes, it was the picture used when it was up for sale....in the summer maybe.......Dick Lovett sold it before that I believe as I saw it there a few times. Stunning machine. Well done.

Absolutely loved it, couldn’t stop grinning all the way back. All of my mates thought I was getting old buying a QP until I pulled up in it and they realised that it was a bit ‘special’.

I currently have a few BMW M cars and must say the power delivery on this just something different the speedo shoots up without any fuss so need to be very careful.

Overall can’t belive I didn’t buy one earlier.

Well done...great car. I really wanted a QP GTS but the numbers didn't work for me today which is the main reason I went XJ.

Having owned and lived with both they have very similar DNA and characteristics. Just do things very slightly different. Certainly from the same stable of ideals. Both are comfortable and fast but really great drivers cars at heart.

I am sure I will be in a QP GTS in a couple of years though. Depends how smitten I get with the XJ. It has been a great start so far though.

Feel free to pop up some more pics when you get a chance. I never tire of seeing pics of such a fantastic car. Great choice and hope she looks after your wallet
