She's home!

Picked up my Silverstone 08 this week and have put a few miles on it. The more I drive it the more I like it. So civilized then when you want it to be an animal just punch the right pedal!

Was able to talk to the original owner as well, he owns an independent European shop. He traded it in on an I8. Only warranty item since new was the installation of the updated clutch at 17,000 kms (now it has 42,000 kms). Liqimoly oil changes every 5000 kms. Gave her a coat of wax, paint is very good couple light scratches and small chips and not a door ding anywhere. Looks like I found a real cream puff!

Yes it will be on the road all year, but it won't be a daily driver. My wife and I will share our suv for the most part. It will be used as required and as weather allows. I bought a used square setup of 18" Blizzaks for the winter time.

Welcome Cosmo, 42k km on a 08 - great find!

loveskiing · 10-31-2016, 07:28 PM

That's some find, an 08 with only 42kms and in SS too! Gorgeous car, enjoy!

Cosmo Kramer · 10-31-2016, 08:37 PM

Thanks for all the nice comments!

What can you guys tell me about this interior color combo? Most that I have seen are all black or terra cotta and black. I have never seen another like it is it pretty uncommon?

Webb70 · 11-01-2016, 10:04 AM

It looks identical to my Palladium Silver interior (non-extended leather).

HandmeDnM3 · 11-01-2016, 10:10 AM
