Today I bought

As for ponies i think i see things from a similar viewpoint as MB. The M3 is a beast and far too easy to go far too fast given it's sheer grunt. Cruising at 120 honestly feels like no more than 70 in the S and getting there does not take long. It's only above 130 (on autobahn's obviously) that the wind noise makes you realise you're progressing well.
i think this will be a lot more fun for the road, he has his track car too. I would love an Exige but given i dont have any desire to sell the S and no intention of running 3 cars to myself (I need a car to take nipper) with paltry mileage it would be beyond frivolous
. I did consider the Evora at one point but the BM feels very passenger safety conscious which is a big considerationDo you actually use that kit car on the road?

I see what you are saying, but they do weigh 920kg. I have 240bhp with 550kg. I have been looking at Series 1 Elises so I can stick a K20 in them. Realistically, even if I do it myself, that'll be £20k which is certainly ballpark for one of these.

But yes, the Exige is a lot more practical and I could go for a blast if it looked like rain knowing I wasn't going to be reaching for the plug to drain the water!
I have been looking at the Hanger111 Komotec rotrex installs for the standard Exige as you get a more efficient centrifugal blower, bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump, and a charge cooler thus eliminating the Exige S heatsoak and Supercharger whine.

Ultimately, as Mark says, I need a go in one.
Thanks all!
Should get it Sat if I can get home...
Orange does seem to be marmite, where people who are into cars like it, and those who aren't, don't
I really like grey but its good to have a change. There was actually a yellow performance pack car in 08 spec for the same money, but yellow is beyond my comfort limit...

My mate has just swapped a white one of these for some 911 thing - he lost almost nothing in 2 years of ownership although he didn't do many miles ..... all he did was polish it though
Possibly the nicest car i've had abandoned outside the house.


I prefer the Lotus personally.
