Picked up my 650S on Monday

[Dblue]

Nice drive up in my much loved Gallardo and an even better getting to know you session in the Northern Pennines and Yorkshire dales on the way back. Straight to Paintshield for some PPF to protect all that lovely CF. Early impressions are it's everything its cracked up to be. I am really loving the colour in the flesh, especially in sunshine it looks fantastic to my eyes.
My car has diamond cut alloys which I intended to change to stealth asap but they look better than I thought they would on the car so may give it some time before making a decision.

[Sarnie]

Nice

That's gorgeous Pete, have fun!

[70proof]

lovely car mate, congrats.... dare I say best colour!!!

[xjay1337]

Lovely!

I reckon those wheels in anthracite would be a wonderful combination. The green is immense

[johnnyreggae]

Serious colour !

The sun is nearly out in all three photos yet the roof is up - did you try it roof down yet ?

[RamboLambo]

Fantastic, enjoy !

I think you are right about the wheels - I'm not usually a fan of stealth but with that colour and carbon combo the shiny wheels do look a little out of place. Not bad but I think stealth will suit the aggressive look

650s spider supply starting to dry up already and when they are gone they are gone. Anyone buying one now wont be changing it in the short term without throwing some serious cash > £100k at it to find something better like a 675LT spider or maybe a 488 Spider

Observation skills = poor

Yeah anyone can see the roof is down on the 3rd picture where he is broken down on the side of the road and under the bonnet at the front trying to fix the engine

Lovely - it will be a good summer

If you channeled all the effort you put in on PH extolling the virtue of the 650s into earning more money, you'd easily be able to afford a 675LTS

Funny I've got a 725 LTSS on order

[Aphex]

Thin-spoked, diamond cut wheels never look good imo. What a stunner though

[ashley95]

Very very nice, congratulations.

That looks very similar to Tim's (Shmee150) old car. Any idea if its his old one?

Shmee's had protection film on it already so I doubt it is. Agreed that it's very nice though! Think I'd be going stealth on the wheels

[V8FSI]

That's not Shmee's old one, his Mantis Green 650S is owned by someone in Lancashire, I saw it on Sunday in sunlight which really made the metallic flake in the paint "ping"!

[andyferrari]

Great colour, I have exactly the same 650s in mantis green but I have the stealth finish wheels which work really well with the contrast of the carbon fibre.
Enjoy the car they certainly are amazing.

[Dblue]

Its not Schmees old car though externally its very similar but interior is different.

I have been umming and ahhing about the wheels. I would have definitely changed them initially but I find I like them better as they are than I thought I would.

[TKH]

Pete

congratulations looks stunning in that colour and al that power !

and I like the wheels really suit car imho

currently toying with a 12C or 991 Turbo S just struggling to decide (will see some daily use)

enjoy

Thanks Tim, thought you'd be a likely McLaren man.

The 12C is a lovely thing, feels rather more special than the Porsche IMO but not quite as practical. Not a lot in it performance wise, both absolutely mentally fast
