Back in the fold with an Exige V6

[DaveGB]

Good to be back in a Lotus and boy is this car good !!

[DaveGB]

Yep

Just back from 120 mile blat tonight. Very impressive car.

[DaveGB]

Quite fancied the chrome orange one at Lotus dealer by you, but too much of a trek.

[DaveGB]

Congrats. Had an orange Evora, Ariel Atom and caterham, so have a soft spot for the colour

Hi Alex, yes saw your car at Santa Pod. I was in a F Type convertible , which I only kept for 3 weeks

That F Type sounded nice.

Why did you get rid after such a short time?

F type is a stunning car, but at 1600kg a bit too lardy for me. The Exige is 1/2 tonne lighter and more to my style of driving

I didn't realise that was yours, I saw you at Silverstone in the X-Bow..

The Exige did pretty well at Santa Pod considering

Probably a bit OTT keeping both ...

Since removing roof on the Lotus for recent good weather it does beg the question when I will use KTM. Time will tell.

[DaveGB]

Evora feels a fair bit larger than Exige, but after test driving the Evora 400 recently I forgot how well it rides and the noise now is incredible !!

At the absolute limits, yes you will notice the difference. The Exige is more hardcore for sure, but the Evora is also a stunning sports car.

Just come back from 2,300 mile trip in Alps in the Exige with no aches or pains.

Both great cars and wish I could have one of each in the garage ....... Hmmmmmm .....Be good to have two Loti in the garage like before

XBOW now sold, so considering a classic Lotus Elan +2 to sit beside the Exige.

[DaveGB]

Aye, ready for my ice cream
