New to Lotus and Very Excited - Edinburgh

Hi everyone.

Been recommended to join this forum through a few of my friends from my car club Rev Limits.

I have been saving and working my way up the car ladder for a long time to get to this point of owning my very own lotus.

I have been looking at the market almost daily from the beginning of the year and on Thursday my patience paid off.

I picked up my Exige S after a 700 mile round trip to Cambridge and back.

Car comes in Arctic White and really is a great example. I'm over the moon and to be honest i have struggled to draw my attention away from it the past couple of days.

Had a fair few performance cars in the past; 4 350z's, Golf GTi and R32 but the exige is a whole new level and such a visceral experience as you will all know.

Anyway, thought I'd quickly say hello. Really looking forward to learning more about them and enjoying the new experiences the car will give me during my ownership. :cheers

Nice car, really like them in white. Had a couple of 350z’s myself.

Good to see you signed up, the SE crowd is probably one of the most welcome and helpful Lotus forums out there. If you've ever got an issue or want advice on the car chances are someone on here will have the answer.

Welcome, looks good.
Hope you don't have to park it roadside in Edinburgh, parallel parking isn't one of an Exige's stronger points !

Looks lowered, do you know what modifications it has ?
Mods on a Lotus is normal and enhances them rather than frowned upon.

SE is a great forum, possibly a tad quiet at moment.

Welcome. You’ve come to the right place no matter how you like to use your lotus.

There are many Edinburgh based SE members, I’ll keep an eye out for you on the roads.

Oh, and great colour. White cars FTW :-D

Thank you all very much for the warm welcome. I have been recommended by a few people to get the car into Craig Moncrieff to have it gone over.

Would be great to know what had been done to it as a few people have already have commented on how low it is.

Can i ask if there are organised meets/runs through this forum?
