One of my GFs Dads bought a One-77 but he didnt option the Cygnet.

Just found this (I guess the Euro/dollar has affected the price) "Keep in mind, the One-77 costs $1,870,000—and that’s without any of those taxes or registration fees the dealership always leaves out—so adding another $32,000 or so for a Cygnet is the equivalent of checking the box for the $495 Yellow-Blaze paint job on a new Ford Mustang GT." http://www.0-60mag.com/news/2010/12/...g-cygnets-too/

LOL .... crack me up .... would have never guessed it ... so does it do the things in the water that the Lotus did for Bond?

Congratulations ..... you will enjoy beyond your expectations. Difference between us will be mine may be in the garage while yours enjoys the Florida sunshine .... if you get to Gainsville for a game you will have to post a picture. Surely an Orange car will be appreciated there!

Hey Steve, very nice car. It's been a long time. I played golf with Randy and Cindy yesterday and he forwarded me the link to your Euro Delivery. Very cool. I hope I can do the same on my next M purchase. Looks like it was a blast to say the least. Make sure you look into the Dinan flash for your car, not that it's already not fast enough. It made a world of difference on my 335i coupe. By the way, it's Eric from Gleneagles. Hope you and the family are well. Good luck with the car!

Blue55 · 10-03-2011, 01:30 PM

I just returned from my ED trip. I also picked up a 1M in VO on Sept 21. There were 2 other VOs that day. I'll try to get a few pics up shortly! Unbelievable car!
