M@r]{ Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Hey Guys. After a year "off" where I strayed to the darkside and have been driving BMWs, I have finally remembered where my heart ls and jumped back into Lotus ownership. On Friday I went and picked up my new Exige (well new to me ) It started life in 2006 as an NA. The same guy has owned it from new and throughout that time no expense has been spared (the book of invoices is huge!) Most noteable is the Hangar 111 Komotec Supercharger conversion. In addition it has had a baffled sump, sports CAT, Komotec exhaust, Nitrons and some lovely forged alloy wheels. The interior has the all important aircon, probax seats and something I really wanted, manual windows Needless to say with just one owner and only 24k miles its in great condition. Anyway I'm loving it. I wasn't sure how it would compare to my old Audi Elise, but so far so good! The weather hasn't exactly been ideal for taking it to its limit, having said that it is more than obvious that I am going to be more than impressed when the roads finally dry out Right I'll stop waffling and post up a few pictures. And hope to see some of you soon at a meet

Dazzx10r Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Lovely that mate, I saw it for sale on Autotrader, bloody bargain really from what has been done to it. I'm jealous honest
TimSportsTourer Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Looks great. And how much better than a Beamer! I hope you enjoy it lots (and that the weather brightens up, so that we all can. Mutter mutter...)
HABC Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Great looking car, need some decent weather now.
M@r]{ Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 Yes the sill covers do let it down, well on the drivers side. I'm intending to get the centre console trimmed in leather, I'll get the sill covers done at the same time
John FISH Curtis Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Nice Mark. (jealous, me, nope, not one bit, not even a little bit or remotley envious, or in any way bothered)
