Good to be back!

Post by philthy » Tue May 09, 2017 9:54 pm

Picked up an Exige V6 today after 6 or more years of lotuslessness :scratch
Fun remembering that cats eyes feel like potholes and having to properly grip the wheel on motorways :lol:
Loving it so far, hopefully get out for some runs and track-days this year.

Few bits I want to change like the wheels and red bits but this is how I collected it-

Nice! The red bits look good, maybe except the fuel filler cap. Not mad on the wheels either but I bet once you're in it you completely forget about all those things!!

Mmmmm, nice wheels! :thumbsup

EDIT: I'd lose the visor strip and filler cap. The rest looks 8) 8)

Congrats Phil, lovely car and good to see you with one again.

I also like the red but it is just a matter of choice.

Cracking motor, enjoy. I don't find the red bits that offensive, maybe just the fuel cap but the rest looks OK to my eye ;)
