Very sad I wasn't aware of that, I'd love to have got involved. Ah well, maybe if it happens again! Looks excellent.

How did i miss you at C&M on Sunday by the way? I was there from 9:30! Did you do the soft launch?

Were you at the Hut? I was at the Bowl on Sunday, and the Hut for a 313 soft open on Saturday.

Ahh yeah, The Hut on Sunday, really enjoyed it and it's nice having one local! Bacon and egg roll was divine!

Took the LGT out for a much needed spin (on the only dry day last week, and since) but wanted to inspect (i.e. admire) the car before heading onto the motorway. I just love the side silhouette! Particularly in this colour. Kills me everytime.

Apologies for the garbage bin crashing the party...

I’ve only ever really liked these in the PE Blue, but that looks fabulous!

picked this up from Mark at Alpine Solihull who I can recommend as a top bloke. Love it to bits and can’t wait for the engine to be run in. See you all out there 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Thanks. It was the launch of the LGT as their first limited edition in this specific colour, Argent Mercure, which sold it to me! I just thought it looked so cool in this colour and especially combined with the cognac leather. For me, the best combo so far. It is a sort of mid silver with slight soft gold flecks - quite a warm silver c.f. the Montebello silver. At the time, Alpine advised this Argent Mecure colour would be limited to the LGT only. But then they backtracked slightly by offering the 2021 LGT in a frozen / matt version of Argent Mercure, combined with black leather - and similarly also for the Enstone LE. A bit cheeky, but there you go!

Of the original 400 LGT's, approximately only half were ordered in Argent Mercure metallic; the remainder being mostly ordered in the standard colour choice of Abyss Blue, and just a few chose Black metallic as the third option possible - which was also one of the original standard colour options with the A110. Apart from AM being a great looking shade, I figured if you're going to order a LE model then you might as well take advantage of being able to select an "atelier" type colour at no extra cost!

Quick stop on the way up to Val Thorens. Superb bit of road.

Imagine you may have had similar in VT, Teatowell?

Ha thankfully, and having been uncharacterically sensible I had paid for covered parking; so despite a few days of snow we were fine. Was a bit touch and go in terms of roads when leaving though. Luckily the majority had been cleared pretty much the morning we left, would havre have been stuck otherwise. Thought about a stop in Reims on the way down but decided to crack on instead.

Wise choice! Much as I secretly like being a peacock and parking in the centre of town for all to see, covered parking makes much more sense (particularly given how much time frozen window seals occupied my mind for). I've a set of winters fitted, though it's not often they get much of a test; proved handy for getting out of the above pickle, and through the drifts at the top of the Bernina pass however [side note: what a road ].

Hope the skiing was good - Passo Tonale was a whiteout for most of the week.

We hit Reims on the way back; no fewer than three A110s in the Pommery car park...

Thx TX - #007 is the opposite end of the food chain to yours, but it's a hoot to take everywhere.

I think I may have inadvertently hit golden hour on Saturday morning - just thought I'd share.

[Hoofty]

Is that Sierra blue? Looks lovely!

Yellow calipers are a PITA to keep clean aren't they...

[leglessAlex]

Sierra is much darker isn’t it? That looks like French Blue or Peacock Blue I think

Looks bloody great either way.

[fossett]

Hey its Alpine Steel Blue (code 082) 26/110 and yeah the calipers are nightmare to clean
