@SixZeroFour  @#001 @everyoneelse

interesting story actually.   :P

it was on the colorado springs clist for 24 days and nobody saw it, or went after it.  the seller got it in trade for some speakers and listed it.  i told him to get that guy my email addy because i would bet it's the same guy that supplied the robin's egg / blue wave we saw posted a month or so ago.

so someone in COS is somehow getting the export models.  in box, and flipping them on the QT. 

from the serial number it's a 2013 right?

The Slate is a beautiful color! Can't wait to see some more shots of it in the flesh!

Fixed!... I meant slate!  :)

it says "slate" which i thought was the newer color.  i'd be cool with smoke, or blue wave, or ivory, or lemongrass...

or ivory...

What a cool color, and perfect name for said color!

I wonder if any of these fancy Euro's experience any color change with heat?

PS... I heard a rumor that another euro will be making an appearance in the near future ;)

I believe there is a big air force presence in colorado springs. Maybe it was purchased in Europe while someone was stationed overseas, and then brought back. That kinda stuff happens all the time.

no the box was fine.  finally home and 13.5 hours of sleep later i opened her up.

here is the lid sitting on the fire pit/22 ratt \m/ for a color reference. 

it's rainy today so she isn't gleaming in the sun but i do think this is a good reference as to the color.

it's very much a blue/grey kinda look, sort of battleship blue maybe?  i'm not sure if i even like it to be honest.

i'm going to keep it boxed for the winter and plop it in storage so no assembled shots, sorry! 

i have my winter cook arsenal poised for any kills that arrive before spring. 

and by kills i mean meat purchased from the butcher etc.  :D

Very nice, almost a steel blue. The finish looks satin similar to a crimson... I dig it! Plus its not like your going to look in the neighbours backyard and see another any time soon ;)

Bah, I don't think he's going to like it.  Instead of taking up the storage space, he should just list it in the For Sale section    ;D

That's a beautiful color in subdued sort of way.   Would love an SJ for the collection in that color!

It does look kinda purpley.  Good that you got it undamaged.  Not sure how you can do it...if it was me I couldn't not put it together.

Great offer, @GregS

Maybe it's just me, but the colour looks similar to an old blackie with some fade ... with a little "steel blue" added.
