From London to Dallas... and my "company car"
Hey all! I've been lurking for a while after I picked up my '18 Grand Sport in Ceramic Grey Matrix a few months ago, so I figured a first post is long overdue... 
I'm originally from Los Angeles, where I grew up on Japanese cars and VWs in the '80s and '90s -- and I've been living in London for the past 7 years. So this is basically the first car I've ever had that isn't a diesel, four-cylinder or has less than 200 hp...
Recently moved to Dallas for a temporary work assignment, so needed to pick up a car for the commute -- something I'd enjoy driving for the short time I'm here, practicality be damned! And definitely wanted a car that I couldn't get back in England...
Loving it so far! Already looking into whether I can somehow ship it back...
Nice to meet everyone here!
