As some of you may have seen posted elsewhere I was minding my own business stuck at the traffic lights outside my lotus garage a couple of weeks ago when my salesman comes out and shouts at me to come and see him as he wanted to see the my new X5.

So once I had finished doing what I had to I popped in to see him so he could look over the X which he said he loved or was that just a typical salesman tactic as the next thing I know we are talking about my Elise !

It ended up with him offering £2.5k less than I paid for it 18 months ago against a new Exige S. He lent me one for the day (in fact the one in my avatar but unfortunately without the lights and all the stipes now ) and I loved it so I have one on order now and hoping for delivery next month (TBC).

This is what it will look like.

and in a different light as it is metallic

I have my first track day booked and I'll be off to play with these boys and now should give them a good run for their money on a track !

That fact that you you have a friend with a GT3 RS is enough but an F40

**edit nice Exige BTW

I would be happy just to have a friend but a friend with an F40 will he let me have a go

He is relatively casual in who he lets drive it 8)

It is a bit of widow maker though - I've been chasing him around a roundabout for it to let go in front of me

I will be round in 10 mins at least I will die happy

Nice Exige, I can see myself upgrading to one of those in a couple of years.
You must be counting down the days to delivery!

 

[535dboy]

Yeah sort of.

Waited 9 months for X5 so this should be a breeze !

TT should be due soon too

 

[qooqiiu]

VERY, VERY, NICE [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Ha ha,no willpower!
He's a sod Ken is'nt he?
See you on the next Sussex run then 8)

Aah, a salesman's dream.

Did you haggle or just accept his first offer?

 

[Mark Davies]

Why have you no self control? Too much bloody money, obviously!

Must say, top of my list of options when replacing the TT is to get any old work-horse for when I need something practical and an Elise (or better, an Exige) for when I want some fun. Surely the best fun-for-your-money car there is!

Yeah I'll be there and if mine isn't there by then he said I could take the 240BHP Exige or the Elise SC

The Exige is a great car 8) and one of the few cars that tempts me at the moment but I don't know where it would fit in with my needs :?

I must have a work-horse.

I want a car for regular trackdays
I want a classic car

I want a fun, civilized, fairly practical road car.

For me an Exige would primarily be a track car which is road legal,
not a fun road car that I could track (if that makes sense :roll: ).

I regularly track my classic car, so that combines 2 wants into 1 car
and although I would love to track an Exige, for me it's not a 'classic'.

And for my road use, an Exige couldn't replace the comfort and practicality of my TT.

I still want an Exige

And I thought I was a confused and complicated person ! :wink:
