So, what do you get after owning something that shoves you down the road....   Naturally something more expensive....slower....may cost more to run and even more agricultural. Yes, logic truly went out the window

Ha ha! Sounds very familiar, exactly what I did late last year :up (the thumbup works on seloc btw, just getting you assimilated)

Damn right mate, hibernation is over all been well.

[rob999]

Tomorrow I'll get some proper driving done in it, heading over to BoT in the Morning but will get some nice roads on the way back to Orangeland.

 

Initial impressions are as per my test drive; love it. I actually enjoy it's unique characteristics, the unservo'd brakes, the way it vomits fuel back at you, how hot the cabin gets and this isn't even a warm day...(now I know why I wear shorts alot!)

 

And it's properly loud, I don't miss the turbo shove as much as I thought. For all the cliches out there, it feels alot purer to drive, the feel is there and nimbleness. I guess when you're not lugging pig iron it helps! So far I'm smitten and am incredibly lucky to have got this car...we'll see where this one goes.

What's the idle like Rob? Chunky?

What's the idle like Rob? Chunky?

Yes, properly moody. I'll swing by next Thursday morning if you like Matt if you're about?

[techieboy]

I certainly should be. Feel free to drop by whenever you're passing. Don't worry though, no pax ride required. Last time I was in an S1 Exige, I couldn't get back out over the sill much to Wayne at ProAlloy's amusement in the middle of Cambridge.

[rob999]

Ok I'll be heading back after nights on the way to DtT so will call in.

 

Yes the sill depth is a little different!

What happens when it vomits fuel back at you? You mean it has that 80s Rover V8 (my 1st car) odour? Mmmmm.

 

The incessant  heat + shorts? By late August you will have learned to love the smell of your own sweaty balls. Either that or you will discover carbon-odour eater pants (as I have).

 

I really want a MK1 Exige now.

 

You lucky sod.

A very nice piece of kit in an excellent colour,    and a appreciating asset, a very good move Bobby

 

Oh and I haven't been on here for a while, but I've now realised how much I miss Silent Steve

 

 

P.S. Bobby If your passing my way anytime pop in for a cuppa (I'm a man of leisure at the mo)

What's DTT doing for you Rob?

Just the sill bolsters that are worn. One thing I've noticed, the fan isn't too terrible in the car

[turbobob]

Oh this is the year Matt....the year of one TD Okay maybe two

You planning on changing your wheels already?
