New AM Owner in Atlanta

Super excited to introduce myself as a new AM owner in the Atlanta, GA area!

I just received a cal from my transporter, and he is expecting to deliver my 2012 V8 Vantage S tomorrow! Just in time for my birthday weekend!!

I'm so excited I just signed up and started posting before i even found out how to add a profile pic

Looking forward to joining in on conversations and sharing in the joys of AM ownership!

Driver just called, and he is two hours out! A gallon of espresso couldn't get me this excited!

I've already ordered the glass switches for the center console, and looking for a way to retrofit the heated seats.

Here are some Pics form the dealer's post... Let me know what you think:
Nero Black (Previous AML Colour) with Obsidian Black Interior

Loving the yellow stiching and matching brake calipers!

Thanks guys. It was the yellow accents that drew me to the car, they do well to feed my Batman illusion :-)

Question for experienced Vantage owners: I keep hearing some whirring noises as I unlock the car, and at various other times.

Noises are not: seats, mirrors, steering wheel...

Gave it a good wash and put some miles on it after delivery... How do I get this grin off my face!! And is it crazy to want to sleep in the garage since I can't get the car inside the house. :-/

Nice color combo! Enjoy!
I believe that noise is the priming of the clutch. It's distinctive sound when you open the drivers door. Actually thought it was kinda neat to hear that on the sm2s.
