Picked up the car on Saturday from GP Sevens who have been brilliant to deal with.
The journey home was awful due to a nasty accident on the M25, but once home I had a good blast around some of the local roads & the car is fantastic.
It's a tight fit in the garage, with the bike & all the the other stuff despite a major clear out over the last couple of weeks in preparation.
The drive is a bit full too, as the Exige doesn't go until Wednesday
All the toys
Very chuffed.

Had a good blast out yesterday evening. The weather was stunning.
Dropped into Goodwood & got invited to join the last "no helmets" laps of a charity track day, which despite being pretty sedate following a pace car, was a nice bonus.
Conclusions -
1) When accelerating hard in 1st and 2nd it’s critical to be very smooth with the throttle & best to be in a straight line. I broke traction a few times despite having nice warm tyres on warn, clean, smooth tarmac.
2) I’m getting used to the brakes, but with no servo assistance, they really do need a firm press if you need to stop quickly.
3) The car has immense cornering grip with warm tyres / tarmac.
4) I absolutely love it.
