Hello again!

Been without my elsie for a few months now and its time to get back on!

Had an S1 and S1 111s in the past and im toying with either a 111r or exige next time around. Really like the look of the exige, just wondering if there is more to it than just looks - my old 111s had the exige suspension and i found it ok!

One thing i know you are all going to give me stick over is that if i get the Exige i will be getting the soft top conversion done - not for the entire year, but sometimes you just cant top topless driving!!

Budget is c. £20k so i may need to wait for the right car as most seem to come in at £22k ATM.

22K will get you 05/55 plate in a private deal no problem e.g. clearly remember Davey's 05 mag blue + perf pack advertised for 20 mark, then there was AlunR's "Apache" 04 which was advertised for 19k mark. I just think those expecting to sale 04's for 22k is in cuckoo land! smile

There are deals to be had. Based on what I am paying for a 111R with 3k on the clock, you wouldn't need stupid amounts of miles to get down to £20k.

Should be no problem finding one for £20K. Just had a look in the classifieds and may be worth looking at this one, you could do a deal, perhaps stretch to a few hundred quid over? Low mileage and '05...
