Took a test drive of an Exige S yesterday and as the bank manager feared and I hoped, loved it so much signed up and pick it up on Saturday. Thanks to Paul at Lipscomb for an awesome test drive, well over an hour, all types of road and only a few sharp intakes of breath at my cack handed driving. He then took the time to drive 40 miles out of his way after work to bring the demonstrator to my house to make sure it fits in the garage!!!

Spec is black, touring and super touring, traction control and a/c.

Now I just need to find a booster seat that fits and all is well!!

Then the fun begins and I can start thinking about exhausts - love the look of the larini poking out of the grill.

Already registered on SELOC and will try to come out to a meet soon.

still can't get over how much fun it is, totally exceeded all of my expectations!!

Get used to that smile... it's going to be hanging around for a while.... and no, the honeymoon period doesn't wear off after a few months... I'm 2.5 years in and I still giggle like a schoolgirl when I catch a glimpse of what I've got sat waiting for me in the garage.

Picked it up - does the smile ever stop. Only managed 100 miles this weekend but even using 6k revs max it pulls like a train and sounds like a jet. At the moment I prefer the noise of the supercharger to a stage 2 exhaust. My only concern is keeping my licence, speed down the straights I will have to try to moderate but in the corners it is so addictive to actually feel like you need bucket seats to avoid falling out of the car.

Even my little bro who turned up on his Ducati was impressed and he is not a car fan.

Annoying thing is there is now another 5 days to go before I can drive it again!!!!
