Officially new - G29 owner

Post by mrwkuk » Tue Jun 20, 2023 3:27 pm

Hi all. I have already posted a few times in the G29 sub forum prior to purchasing the car, but I can now say I am officially a new owner of a Sanfrancisco Red 2019 G29.

Photo Here: https://imgur.com/8MRp7Z2 (although its much the same as every other G29)

Now to spend the rest of the week playing with all the knobs and dials to figure out what everything does. :D

So I just took the zed out for a its first real "late night country road blast" and I can definitely say I made the right choice. Even though its only a 2L turbo and less than 200hp its still a rocket around to back lanes (especially when you dont have to worry so much about things coming the other way).

I didnt buy it as a buy it specifically as a race car, but as a comfortable tourer. But the fact that i can get-up-and-go when you poke it the right way definitely put a smile on my face. I dont think the Mrs would have been smiling though.

Welcome to the forum!

I just had word today that my new G29 arrives at the dealers on 17th July, which makes it about 7 weeks from order to delivery, not bad.
