Thanks chaps / chapesses

MJ - as long as I don't get fired or die, I shall be keeping it for a while I think

Steven / Mikey as per above I wouldn't know what to get from here anyway! Not for the money anyway. CSL / Sagaris / GT3 would be nice Out my league though.

ADP

Pole - I know what you mean. It's near impossible to reverse. You can't see a thing and i've stooped to get out and look on a few occasions!

BB- I'm in the same boat.

TBW - I strangely like the non colour coded panels! I thought on;y you would spot that tbh

Lautt, I think legally they have to have one. It really isn't worht having - you actually can see NOTHING out the back!

Thanks Mr Shipley! Comes complete with hardtop this one

Once, rigid wagons also used to have a rear-view mirror; so you could remember what sort of body the builder had fitted to the chassis if you had ADD, presumably.

It looks great Mark. Rockingham's probably the best place for it. I was hoping to go against the N/A version at Bassingbourn, but the guy had had new tyres fitted (WTF?) and was driving it like a right wuss. Actually, I had new tyres fitted too, but by the end of the day it was no longer a problem; I had old tyres fitted and a lot more fun than he did...

I was pretty poor at Rockingham Nick I only did a couple of non passenger laps and was taking it v steady. I didn't manage to get insurance in time, and had only had it 2 days

The hesitation spoiled it a bit - it wouldn't get going between some of the shorter corners and it should be razor sharp. Was good learning nevertheless, and the track is a nice one.

Keen to get to the Ring this year as it think it would be great on there too.

Car looks good

I'd watch out for Mustangs though

Watched Top gear highlights last night and was surprised how close the Stig kept the Mustang to the Exige

Even if Clarkson was all over the place

Was that the whtie Exige, Gad?

My favorite bit is watching Clarkson get out of it. He seems to expand out of it, and it almost doesn't look real

rear view mirror - aslong as you have both side mirrors, then rear-view isnt a requirement. you basically need 2 mirrors - driver side and another one...

i dont know if it's me, but im sure the exige doesnt have that same aggressiveness i first noticed when it was released x years back.
still a damn nice car and i'd have one

the car has to be manufactured with a rear view mirror, but doesn't require one for MOT
