Thanks - sounds like Ruby is a natural choice! I wouldn't read so much into the quality issues - none of the "common" faults are present on mine, and I suspect that's true for a lot of people, it's just you hear more from those with problems (which is understandable).Looks amazing, I've got a ruby GT auto with custom pack on order and the last thing I specified to the dealer was the colour, they all looked good in the brochure. I've had second thoughts about it but the more I've seen here has convinced me that I've made the right choice. It might be subliminal or fate but I placed the order days after our Ruby wedding and my mother's name was also Ruby so it will always have a special meaning for me. I am becoming more concerned about buying a car with apparently such poor build quality but as many have said already, the grin factor should outweigh this. I've also decided to keep my BM so if I need "quality" therapy I can always take that for a ride instead.
Great car, great colour, enjoy it safely.
Thanks - could do with a bit more lovely California sunlight here at the moment!Gotta love Ruby Red, looks superb :cheers:



That's probably true, it certainly looks great in "golden hour" conditions, with warm light on it, but then pretty much any colour does! It definitely doesn't need a sunny day to look good though - my pictures were taken in pretty overcast conditions, in fact it started raining towards the end (it was coming down quite a lot by the time I took the interior one, I abandoned taking any more at that point as I was getting wet...). Having some over-hanging trees helped with the lighting as you sayThere's a lot of comments - "Ruby Red is lovely in the sunshine/good light"
Whilst i don't disagree at all with that statement, in my opinion, Ruby Red's true beauty is brought out in shade accompanied by the good light pinging around it...
