Hi all...

I was pointed here by one of the existing members who has a S2 Elise. I currently drive a E46 M3 but have been looking for an Exige S for the last wee while. (search is on hold for a bit until i sell the m3 but it's looking good for a sale soon)

I see there are a few members on here from ABZ who have elises but are there any who drive Exiges?!?!?!

Anyway just thought i would say hello.

Cheers

Boyner

Hi Boyner, as you can see several Exiges in Aberdeen.
I have a silver S1 - classic

When are you thinking on getting yours?

Hey folks,

Cheers for the warm welcome, i see there are plenty of Exiges up here, strange cos i have only seen the chrome orange one.. I do drive like Mr Magoo tho!!

It depends on when i get the M3 sold as to when i buy one.. I know it's not the best time to be purchasing one but the prices seem to reflect the end of summer, so why not pick up a good deal.

I have driven a Exige S and have wanted one since that test drive so i guess it's the only decent thing to do.

Does anyone use them as a daily driver or would it it be too extreme. My thoughts were to use it predomiantly as a DD but there is alsways a spare car on hand just in case i do get sick of it.

Anyway if you see a Carbon Black M3 with a private plate 60LFM give me a wave.

cheers

Boyner,
I use it every day without issue. It will be a compromise after the comforts of an M3 though. It'll be 'even worse' than the M3 in the snow so it's a good idea to have a spare car for those days.

Cheers,
Ali

I see you on a regular basis, usually I'm heading out towards Kingswells about 4.45pm as you're heading into town I think. I'm usually in my Ka (commuter car) but you might sometimes see me in a chrome orange S1.

Gareth, indeed it was you who i spyed, car looked hard as nails..

I know i have only potsed 3 posts but it would be good if i could meet up with someone who has a Exige 190 and get taken for a spin. I have only driven the S and want to know what the difference is like?!?!

Also, reading some of your sigs, it seems like the cars are prone to spending a lot of times back at MMC, is this usual?

Cheers

Boyner
