Totally pishing it down!!! Great eh!! ? Haha!

Like a good ol' winter's nicht!!!!

Love a bit o' aquaplaning and wheel spinning, in the darkness with a wacky wiper (halfords here i come) on the first moment of Exige ownership........weeeee!!!!!!!!

Well, its now part of my life. I feel ready for this car now. Learnt a lot of important lessons with the Elise. I know ill appreciate it more too now.

Warranty up very soon. Need a couple of queries answered PDQ lol!

Robin, you said to me about brake pedal travel...anyone else too, if you know....there is a fair bit...(didnt drive it at the test drive...several reasons) . when it bites it bites (Pagids :D ), but theres lots of travel...H+T much easier on the elise i had due to proximity of pedal heights.

Chatter in all gears...especially on lift off. Didnt hear this at test drive. never really drove gently for long enough to hear it (larini :D ).

May sound like glaring oversights, but there are some things not worth arguing about in a private sale.

Engine sounds mint though - gentle whirr at idle and nothing worrying at full chat.

Need to worry/make warranty claim?

Cheers boys :thumbsup

My life-long best mate doesnt even know i got one. Gonna surprise him and take him for a wee run. Would be a double whammy for him to see two Exiges at once hehe!! :lol:
