Well i have changed my beloved Exige for a newer one with more power. I really love the standard exige but after 18 months i hankered after a bit more power. I nearly went down the GT3 route but thankfully tested this 240 cup car on saturday. this put an end to my porsche ideas as it does everything i want a sports car to do.
I couldnt wait for the 220/s to come out so i now have a 240.

Sorry the pics arent that great. im sure there will be more to follow.

Daaahhhhhhhh! I knew it! Nice one mate

My prediction last night was spot on... though I did have a little inside info I suppose

Sweet as particularly sweet nut - fair play!

(...humm, I think I can spy my new baby waiting in the far corner too!)

Correct-a-mundo Janitor. you guessed right. maybe i was a little transparent. The car is great, sounds like a turbine engine as i blast past other cars n the road.
Yep thats your new toy in the corner. hope the 1st of march comes quickly for you.

nice one Bogie

No probs Tanman. will swing by one day this week. the car is now at my home.

Just been out for another blast. totally different noise compared to the yelow one. No bark from the induction kit but a super angry whine from the supercharger.

Thanks Tim, the car is great. i went for a little spin last night and put on 150 miles. had a nice drive getting to know the car a little more, how it does the corners, how and when to put down the power etc. a totally different experience to the yellow one. i must say the yellow one is damn good too, just different.
Stuck at work today, the sun is out too!!

Nice Car TC, love the seats too!!

2Q's

1. Do you use the harnesses on the road, if so what are they like?

2. Any plans for some decals like on your last one?
