It's HEEEEERRRRREEEE!!!
Discussion
Following on from my thread a couple of months back HERE, I can FINALLY announce the arrival of my new baby; NZ's second (and last) S1 Exige (the first having arrived only a week ago!)
Timing ended up working out REALLY well, the new owner of my Elise only picked it up on Thursday afternoon, and the Exige sailed into port on Friday morning! While I've not actually got my hands on it because it won't clear customs until Monday, I was able to board the vessel and check it over and help them get it onto dry-land.
Upon first spotting, I nearly fell weeping to my knees, such is the beauty of this car! I've never seen one in the flesh before, only from photos and finally realising that the photos just don't do it justice and knowing that such a thing of beauty is also all mine was just surreal!
With a bit of tinkering, I was able to get her ready to run again and she fired up and even though it's a clunky, overstressed K-series the sound is one of pure nastiness and aggression... much like a giant blender consuming small children and kittens.
Will post in here again on Monday once I can finally bring her home, but for now you'll have to do with these couple of photos of her covered in dust and not looking her best.... I don't think I've ever been in love as strongly as I am with this slice of Norfolk magic!

All pretty minor stuff, but all aimed at bettering the package.... pretty much the same mods I had on my old Elise, and the same mods I'd have done myself if I was speccing it from new.

Gorgeous....
