Ooops I did it again

Not sure how much better an RS would be than an exige in the snow with big fat fronts and lots of torque - won't be as bad, for sure, but won't be massively better IMO. You'd still be nicking the disco and pissing off the wife...

Nicking the Disco has been a big problem this year. Granted the worst winter in 30 years.
I've used it for 3 weeks over the winter which means, kids can't get to playgroup,swimming lessons, docs appointment and Em can't make it to Tesco's...and a man's gotta eat!!

Driven a RS twice now. IMO they look great. Not rapid fast but a remap would sort that.
Sound great and will carry my clubs, bike and kids.

Exige looks mega and will be quick.

Nice problem to have I guess but getting bored of it.

I like the blue ones

white

but we are talking about G

[Gareth]

Should say, I'll still have the Elise.

[Dominic]

Nice work Gareth!

For bad weather the RS would benefit from some decent winter tyres; probably the narrower the better,.. which may be tough to achieve with the wheel size / brake size / wheel arch clearence...

[Modena Scotland]

The RS is very quick in the wet

[renmure]

looks fairly mean for a sensible car

[Ferg]

A friend has an RS and it's pretty ferocious for being FWD. The gizmos the new one has make driving on the limit a pleasure, it kids you on that your the Stig. As mentioned above, even continues to perform in the wet.

He's got a few performance mods on it and steadily upping the power, with apparently limited reduction in handling/driving performance. Theres a local RS Owners club track night coming up where there will be a few running. Good opportunity to get a pax in one to see what its like maybe?

[Shug]

Certainly looks like the SE massive are leaning towards the RS (ironically) TBH, though, if you've got access to the S1 still, I think the positives of the Exige would be outweighed by the things it can't do for you - so it'd get sold in 3 months tops.

I see no reason for having use of an S1 and then buying an Exige that'd be used for the everyday stuff - nice car, but what's the point?

So, yup, another in the RS camp.

I can remember when Gareth could not afford to run a light bulb.

Times have changed...........

[Gareth]

lol @ Tut.

[Scotty C]

i think his mum has upped his pocket money since then

[Corranga]

They look really good in blue (this suprised me as I lean towards green and white at the moment!)

I have a feeling Gareth wouldn't be buying a blue one though unless someone else is selling...?

So, I'm another one in the Ford camp - make it a green one

[H8OAG]

It's a nice decision to have

G knows what I think

The green does it for me on both cars

[Lazydonkey]

Lass at work has a green RS and it does look amazing in the rear view mirror - just full of menace
