No, you thought you were being funny. Big difference.

I correctly thought I was being funny. No difference.

On a serious note, can you fit in an Exige at 6'4?

[scholesy]

Very nice car, I hope when I have a family I can get away with having such a mad second car for jollies!

I'm 6'3 and 'fit' in an Exige. No room left for a helmet and/or much movement of any kind

[BalhamBadger]

That's a really good write up, thanks.

(I thought it was funny... don't see why anyone would find the attempt at humor so offending even if they didn't find it funny)
(also liked the comment about the car being more of a priority than children's shoes - so glad some people have a sense of humour!)

Very tidy. I had a good look at another PHer's Scura (vetteheadracer, who I think has sold it since) at a Sunday Service a while back, just after I got my black 2008 Exige S. The interior on this model is a real beauty, shame there aren't any pics included in the article. Lots of bare carbon fibre (the seats are particularly yummy) and acres of alcantara.

I'll be after a 2010 onwards Exige to replace mine at some point, but with the useage mine gets, the Scura paintwork would no doubt be ruined before too long, plus I love the look of the Exiges in regular Starlight Black paintwork. Think I'll be on the look out for a Roger Becker version.

What an awesome looking exige! i'm yet to see a scura in the flesh but i imagine it'll be pukka. Super rare car if there are only 4 in the UK

I have the RGB and they really are fantastic cars, love it!

[AyBee]

Very nice Love the matt black, looks so purposeful.

[dandarez]

Whatever rubber it is on - what are they? - I think I'd change.

No track days but does one of the school runs yet just manages 5,500 on a set tyres.

Just a thought how many points on your lic.

[Arun_D]

Yoko A048s. Got bored of changing my rears on my Exige after a similar sort of mileage, so ditched them last year for more road friendly AD08s. Was a good move for the road/track bias my car sees.

proper lotus, not at all hairdressery (like the elise)

love it

I only felt my comment would be funny in the context of with the article being well written and fairly long, people would read it carefully then to find the first comment was completely irrelevant and silly.

If there had already been a comment then I wouldn't of posted at all.

Got to stop looking at these pictures...my wife tells me off when I look at porn.

Simply stunning....agree with others, not too hot on matt black but it looks perfect on this!

[Wills2]

Stunning car, looks really well with the matt finish and I don't like matt finishes!
