Got My New Exige Today

[Trev Foster]

What a stunning, fantastic car!!!!

Picked it up today and must admit I was a little worried about changing from my 911 to the Lotus, but what a fantastic move it was.

Travelled back up the M5 from Nick Whale who I must say did a sterling sales job with a smile like a cheshire cat. Had a performance exhaust fitted which sounds completeley different to the Porsche but is equally intoxicating and I loved every minute of the journey home.

Best decision i've made!!!!

Oh by the way my location is'nt Coventry that is a typo!!

Congratulations Trev

 

Had mine for a couple of months now (an S1 rather than a brand spanker), but still can't stop smiling

 

Enjoy!!!!!

[Foley]

Glad you're enjoying it.

Hi Trev

 

Had mine just over 3 months now and still love it - even in the wet (just driven back from Lincoln).

Congrats Now get some pictures in the garage section

[Trev Foster]

Thanks guys,

The colour is auberjene which is definately not the way you spell it (purple) it has the touring pack and has covered 1200 miles.

I'm going to try and get some photos tomorrow with the digital camera so if I can figure out how the hell to download the things I will put some up for you to have a look. I must have gone out to the garage 10 times to have a quick look after I parked it up tonight, it sure is a wonderfull looking vehicle!!!!

Hope we'll be seeing you out on our runs! Woill be the first S2 Exige(?)

Trev, enjoy!

Here's a few pix of mine http://homepage.ntlworld.com/trr-developments/exige.htm

[Trev Foster]

Yes mate I will be on the next run commitments permitting, also might pop down to the dyno run in B-hill just to have a look.

Elaine that is a stunning looking car with gold wheels. They really set it off well.

serious question, does it feel slow in a straight line after the torque of a 911 ? not sure what 911 you had, but just interested to hear your view....

[Trev Foster]

Yes it does feel slower when you boot it in a straight line but mainly because the torque of the 911 just waved over you. When you compare the 0-60 the Lotus beats my 911 by over half a second ( I had a 993 3.6 litre with a few tweaks). It feels like you have to keep the Lotus on the boil more, but that is the most enjoyable part for me, and if you throw into the equation the handling then there is no competetion. I had the 911 for about 6 months and got a little bored with it, although it is a fantastic,vehicle nothing has put a smile on my face as much as the Exige!!!!

[JohnnyM]

Cheers Trev, just interested. Mate of mine chopped his S1 elise in for a 996 C4s and he loves it.

 

am tempted by the s2 exige i have to say, especially since my circumstances got better this month so i could afford one now..... great car, nice one ! Havent seen one in aubergine (i think that is how you spell it, not sure !)

 

post a pic if you can !

 

Enjoy !

Lovely colour indeed.... I can't afford one yet, but i think i may have to take a serious look at the S2 Exige when i can... that or speak to Honda

[Trev Foster]

Yeah the colour is pretty nice. I originally wanted a black one but when this one came up at the right price I couldnt refuse it. Not the colour I would have first chosen but it sure is growing on me. I'm planning on cracking the digital camera out tomorrow so I will try and get a few pics on then.

Just think all of this started when I watched the best of Top Gear a few weeks ago and saw Clarkson hooning round the test track in one.Any one else seen that clip?????

[JohnnyM]

trev...... repeatedly, i have it on my laptop..... quality clip..... i want the orange one in nick whales.... does the air con work in the s2 ? i know the S1 is more "con air"....
