New Exige owner in Edinburgh

Post by caveman » Wed Aug 04, 2010 8:13 pm

Hi had my Exige S for a couple of months now and loving it! Came from a Z4M which I had for over 2 years. Great car but not as fun as the Exige. I'm based in Edinburgh, are there many more of you in town?

Only got it done at the beginning of this year... Had the Exige for over 2 now. Bodyshop in Bathgate - a lot of people don't like it but I do - keeps it unique. Hate having a car that looks like someone elses!

Ah, I have loads of friends in Livi village! My sisters boyfriend's mum and dad stay there and he grew up there too. I cant remember the street name, but from the top roundabout where careshare used to be, going through the village, he stays in one of the coul-de-sacs in the left. His parents used to own Wellmore Homes, and built loads of houses in Livi village, near Klondyke.

Are you going to come along to AMP3 at KH on Friday?

My folks stay in Easterfield court. The first on the right from careshare. Think I know the guy who owns Wellmore, is Stuart his son? Famously having the swimming pool in riverside court (bit of a long shot coincidence if it's the same guy).

Mark - When did you stay there? would have loved to have seen the Esprit! I know the house you stayed in, my folks have the first two storey house in the corner of Easterfield cul de sac entrance. And yes, speed bumps are a bitch but i just make it over them in the Exige
