Having owned it a couple of weeks now i finally got around to washing and photographing it today. It was only then that i noticed a wheel cap missing (see posts below).
Anyway i love it and the colour has really, really grown on me. Glad i bought it after a lot of pondering.
One good thing about changing cars so often is that my photography skills are improving (IMO anyway).

Brave sitting it under the tree, Im sure i have a curry eating pidgeon that lives in mine, and it seems that the smell of car wax is the only thing to clear its constipation :0

As you know i loved the SR and for once was really in 2 minds about changing. However, i have found i have ebverything i loved about the SR plus the looks of the Exige that i have always craved since they came out. I wasnt too sure about the colour when i bought it but it has really grown on me. I have even just put 6 months tax on it which means i must like it......biggrin

It started raining whilst i was washing it but as Magnus Magnusson once said "i started so i`ll finish". Ended up drying it off in the garage.
You cant beat good old fashioned £3 a bottle car wash from Halfords.

lol, I've finished off in the rain before, makes it a sod to get the wax off. You actually guilted me in to cleaning mine - it really did need doing, the wheels were a really dark brown colour instead of silver.

Silver wheels are so much easier to clean than black ones cos i cant see the dirt on mine now.

Went to a local retail park in mine today and some man of about 40 years of age stood by my car taking pictures. I was still sitting in it but i dont think he noticed. He will when he looks at therm though cos i was giving him the V sign as he was taking them.smile

I haven't changed my car's now for over a year? Mind you Mrs Boggy is upgrading to a Bmw soon so I suppose that may qualify
