1M at Charlotte Cars and Coffee

v1k0d3n · 10-01-2011, 12:13 PM

I know that everyone loves a good 1M picture, so I figured I'd share what I saw this morning along with a little "hello wave" from yours truly.

This is actually sean67's car and I thought it would be nice to share. I'm telling you, this is NOT what the car looked like when I saw it directly. It's like a ghost image on my iPhone. It looks WAY more red in pictures. What a fantastic color! It takes photo's REALLY well, but I have to say I'm really excited to see my BSM on Wednesday! As amazing as this color is, I think the BSM will just look a little more aggressive. Not to mention, Sean's been convincing everyone in Charlotte to go with VO, so I'm glad that I'll be different!

I also threw in another picture for you old timers out there.

Great meeting you Sean. Look forward to seeing you again soon! Next time, we'll have to head to C&C together.

Brandon,

Nice meeting you and your girlfriend today. Sorry I could not change your mind on the color. You know the a VO 1M with the M button on gives you 7.5 more RWHP than BSM or AM

Enjoy your PCD this week, I am still smiling from mine. Drive lots of miles quickly to get that 1,200 mile service as quickly as possible.

LOL about the color decisions.. believe it or not.. in the DFW area... looks like BSM will be the most popular, with at least two delivered and two more on the way.. I know of only a single VO car for the metroplex.... and currently two AW, with a third on the way..

Ughh. Worked overnight so didn't make it to Charlotte CnC this am. Wish I had been there. VO by VO would have intimidated your color choice.

J/K you will love BSM I am sure. Can't wait to see it. Maybe we can plan to all park together at CnC next month.

And by the way Steve at autoshield did my paint protection and tint last week. It looks awesome and now yours will be even easier for them

Steve does amazing work. I like how he checks all the template vendors with you, to find out the best coverage for your car. Let's definitely get together next month. I can even meet up sometime in the next couple weeks or so if you want (would be perfect for the Blue Ridge). Maybe we can get some others to come along too? I don't want to take over the 1M thread on this topic though, so IM me if you want to get a 1M group ride together. I definitely want to put some miles on the car so I can get the first service out of the way before winter.

Hey I was there too today although I did not drive my 135. I spoke to the 1M owner briefly, he seemed like a cool guy. That was the first 1M I have seen in person. Valencia Orange seems to change in every photo I have seen so it was nice to truly see one. I was amazed at how much more aggressive the car looked. The 135 has always looked aggressive but the 1M is even more so.

I know what you mean about the Black Sapphire, my 135 is BSM and you will not be dissapointed!

My VO is on the way. I have PCD Nov 4th and even though I now live in Miami, i will be moving to Dallas in January so you can ad one more VO to the metroplex list....

Thanks, I try.

Please plan on bringing your 135 next month and if we get a ride together like Brandon suggested.
