A new Exige (Club racer) owner

[Modena Scotland]

Hi guys,

I am just introducing myself in this section as I am picking up the Club racer later this week.

I initially thought of getting a storm titanium one but just fell in love with the special colour scheme of the Club racer. It looked so much better in real life than the photos. Never expected to purchase a sky blue car but there you go ...... I thought it was a relative bargain at £40k as specifying a 07 Exige S to the similar spec would have cost £44k!

Can't wait to take it for a spin.

.....Surely the tampon decals alone are worth the 40K asking price.

Sorry couldnt resist....

Enjoy the new car mate, youll love it..... picked mine up 6 weeks ago the novelty hasnt worn off yet.

Congrats,

I was going to buy a black Exige S but the Club Racer kept catching my eye in the showroom as well. I had a similar thought regarding the options for the price so I bought one.
2500 miles later + one trackday & I can still say it has been great so far. You will love the sound of the stage II exhaust.

Enjoy

i wanted to upgrade my 111R to a club racer but flat move had to come first and i seemed to have lost the 40k i had stashed in my wallet!!!

congratulations enjoy it

The wheels on the club racer are the lighter ones you get with the super sport pack...

Def the lighter ones.
On another matter. Watch that your boot doesn't get wet. Mine did & apparently the reason is the mouldings that were used for the Club Racer well used as they were the last of the 218hp Exiges. The consequence of this is that the drainage holes didn't go all the way through. This causes any rail to collect in your boot which then has the effect of making your rear lights blow as they get filled with condensation & short out. Just something to be aware of. Dealer sorted it out straight away & it has been fine since.

I think the choice of colours is so subjective. I like the Storm colour (plus the bright orange and green) but just liked the Club racer most.

Thanks for the confirmation of the wheels.

I am picking up an August '06 "S" tomorrow (Storm BTW)and just noticed this point about the wet boot - is that something I should be looking out for or is it a new problem with later cars etc etc? Thanks.

You should be okay. Just check the boot to see if it's damp & the rear lights to see if there is any condensation collecting in them. The fix they do is really easy.

Congrats on the car.

Cheers Phil, I will try to remember to add it to my list of checks when I pick it up.
