Re: How much?

That is for No. 001 though. Still daft but puts a little more context into it. And a Ph2 Clio V6 went for £75k recently didn't it? :shock: I always said they'd never drop below £14k before rising again. Should've got one when they were "cheap" I will sell you No.001 Exige 430 for a very g...

Re: Gordon Murray T50 Live Launch

I’m sure it’ll be fantastic to drive, but I can’t help but think it looks a bit like a fat Tommy Kaira ZZS.

Re: Lotus Emira

Had to switch that off. Because tosser. Suggesting that the Emira has speakers because of the “extra effort” put in compared to an Exige. And “wow - electric buttons on the steering wheel of a lotus? Never thought I’d be saying that any time soon”. So you haven’t looked inside an Evora at any time ...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Exige has been in for service and MOT. Thankfully other than the front tyres being around 3MM, no other advisories. Whilst in, it had the front grilles touched up due to them taking a pounding. A feared fault with the alarm turned out to be me simply being a moron and simply deadlocking the car inst...

The post-race whining and protesting can get in the sea.
Agree entirely.

Re: New Addition

8-) How's the Exige? Need some updates on that! Had it out for a quick blast today for the first time in a month or so to charge the battery. Still completely love it, in spite of it trying to kill me when I was up north a month or so ago. Turns out Cup2s aren’t great with standing water. Driving b...

Re: New Addition

How come we are on page 3 and still no emergency start video? Get it fixed. Apologies for delay. As it turns out, given the horrendous weather when I picked up (and in fact test drove) the car the performance felt more than ample initially, but this wasn’t to be the full story. However, I discovere...

Re: Barry's Europa on film

Not watched it all yet, but I know the road at the start well - is Barry over my way? (James has used this road before, so maybe it’s his preference rather than close to Barry). No he's in Salt n Sauce land. Should be recognised as a failed state. Will watch video later, car looks cracking.

Thanks chaps - will get an interior pic sorted when it’s light. I’ve not braved TC fully off yet, but will report back when I’ve grown a pair to see if off really does mean off. Did try Race start which is a real giggle though. The Exige does feels noticeably quicker still. That’s not to play down t...

New Addition

After nearly 4 years of ownership, the Golf R is due to head back to VW at the beginning of November. In spite of several attempts to extend the contract further, VW wouldn’t entertain it and they were asking silly money to purchase it from them. With that in mind, the clock started ticking to find ...
