...in 10 days time.

Well I've turned to the dark side, binned the M3 and all going well take delivery of my Black Exige S2 a week on Saturday.

After weeks of playing fantasy garage the Lotus finally got the vote from a short list including 964 RS (left hooker), Nobile M12 & Caterham R3/400.

A big thankyou to Ben at Wilsons for his excellent, friendly service, top man.

Now just need to get some track time booked. Woohoo.

I did the same thing last October. Totally different to the M3, far more involving and the grip is just out of this world. Only down side is that there's no TV to watch in traffic jams.

Morning all,

Used to own a fair few Bmw 3 Series but never had an M3, driven a fair few thou. The Exige will only be beaten by the M3 after about 125 mph but around a bend's it's out of this World

Euhm, I'm a BMW driver too(or still because they took away the Exige Cup that would be on hold for me) but I dont have tv in my car I have a radio though...but almost never listen to it, I rather be one with the car, so music out accelerator on and listen to the sound that pops out the pipes(exhaust) the scorpion 2 oval pipes rather then the less sounding 4 pipes of the standard, those are music that I compose myself with the accelerator pedal
wish there were no speedlimits on some places though, so I could let it rev more freely...

I also because it still is unsold(to expensive this S54 type) have ordered some special made black rearlights that can't be ordered aftermarket for the Z3 M coupe but some people don't like the Hamann ligts that came with the car...so now they can choose...and yep you have to get use to the hamann, but they are very rare and cost new 800,-euro! unpainted and in the real they look better then the orange standard ones...thoose ligts below are handmade this way...nice job I say. For the whole car just see my profile by clicking on my name.

Don't forget the Exige S Benn, I'm saving like mad ! P.s. don't tell Lynd's

Boggy

[L100NYY]

I won't tell her if you don't! Our Exige S should be here any day now so I'll keep you posted!


Are you not able to come along on Sunday to Snetterton?

[jamal w]

What can I say it was a great car.... sorry is.
I did alot of trackdays in it, but found apart from that I didn't use it much.
I now have a 996 C4S which is a v nice, but I will miss it on trackdays !

Enjoy!

Afraid not mate, it's my Little boy's birthday next Tuesday so I'be brought him two scalextic car's and load's of other bit's (Lotus Shirt as well) I'm skint untill next week.

Going to Donnington next Saturday and staying the night in a Hotel, Lyndsey's treating me are you going ?

Trying to get a few of us together think S Work's is driving up.

Gutted about Snetterton I've never been there and it sound's wicked

Boggy

[L100NYY]

I seem to be working both the Saturday and the Sunday of the Donnington weekend which is

As a compromise for this Sunday you could always set the Scalextric out in the Snetterton layout!




Just a thought!

[///m-power]

Keep her warm Ben. Hang on a minute you said it had never been tracked, more discount surely.

Jamal, good to know the car's from a fellow PH'er. Did you experience any resistance to the Stage 2 zorst on track days?

[jamal w]

Hi M-Power

You need to change your name now!

I did snett (4), brands(3) ,bedford (1) no problem but only did 2 laps at donington then got black flagged and sent home.

I put the amount I did so you know what the car has done, by the way it was a ex demo
from Nick Whale.

Hope to see you and the car on a track day look out for a silver 996 C4S

Jamal

[///m-power]

thx Jamal,

The cars built for some stick so I'm not too concerned at the no. of track days. Better it's proberly thrashed by someone whos into cars and casres for them properly than driving around town once in a blue moon by a muppet.

cu soon I hope.

[swilding]

hi m-power,

i've just done the same also. i traded in my e46 m3 for the exige because i found the m3 a little boring. i'm sure your going to love the exige. i know i'm enjoying mine!
