Three words,...Very Nice Build!

My goodness that is a fantastic spec! Beautiful choices.

Lovely colour!

Do you find yourself annoyed with the lack of buttons from pre-LCI to LCI?

Honestly, I rarely mucked with the buttons on my old G80. I find it slightly annoying that I have to interact with the screen now to deal with climate settings but that's just about it. What saddens me a bit is the lack of interior ambient lighting as the pre-LCI was clearly better.

Congrats on the new classy car

Man, this has been the roughest part of moving on to this Maldives G80 - the vanity plate. I am stumped and can't think of anything as aptly named as my old Dakar Yellow G80

Haha it's a good thing I'm not a smoker! And that's my parents/brothers home so I haven't the faintest idea how they've got that hooked up

Call it Breeze?

It definitely looks the part. And is a nice refresh vs all the blacks and greys

Love the color!

Top tier spec!! Part of me wishes I went silver 825Ms with non-extended shadowline on mine... it's so good. Congrats again and hope to see it around next season.

JJacksonIII · 11-05-2024, 04:03 PM

Really unique and beautiful build. I'm sure it sucked to lose your other one but this is a very cool build. Enjoy it!

It absolutely does suck to lose that sweet 1.99% APR on the old G80

but this new one feels better built vs. its 2022 counterpart. I really can't wait for the break-in to be completed to do a few necessary mods. The car feels so docile in stock guise after driving my old G80 for 2.5 years.

The silver 825M's are so classy that I'm struggling to get rid of them and replace them. The 826M's were gone before I even received the car on my old G80 to make way for the ANRKY's, but the 825M's in silver look so classy that I think I'll keep them for a while

But I missed every track day this year because of single turbo pains and about 2 weeks after everything was settled - I crashed the G80. I cannot wait to hit the track next year, I'm itching badly

I've got nothing against the different shades of grey, but I love looking at the car and seeing it pop amongst the sea of black/white/grey cars out there.

Congrats!!! Can't wait to see these in the streets. I'm always in that area and we never run into each other! Jealous on the brown buckets ... Let me know if you ever want to swap to black. lol

johnnymegatron · 11-10-2024, 03:52 PM

Wow, what an uncommon blue. Looks rad

ToMorNotToM · 12-17-2024, 05:11 PM

I think this is my favorite blue. With that brown leather it is the chef's kiss.

Agree, perfect look/stance. What were you lowered on for the Dakar?
