hey thought i'd show you what i drive now incase you see me waving like a loon at you all when i'm driving it

got my fingers crossed for an exige s1 or s2 next year but at the mo this is what i have

not a great pic i know but all i could find

this is my attempt at some lotus style theory

since this pic was taken i've stripped out the sound deadening and added rear strut bar.
i was going to do even more,bucket seats,roll cage,cams etc but i've wanted an Exige for 6 years so fingers and toes crossed that everything goes to plan
DEanO

p.s if anyone is kind enough to offer a passsenger ride as i've never actually been in an exige with the engine on

s1 or s2 as i love both
thanks[/img]

Keep an eyeball out for the next mention of a Dukes pass run and you'd be very welcome to have a relaxing pax run over the pass, admiring the scenery, with me

Scottyf just sold a DC5 'teg, if I'm not mistaken, so it's not an unheard of progression, by any means. Great wee cars.

sorry dean never got back to you about the shot, I am going up to KH on the 3rd if you want to come up for some pax action, probably leaving glasgow about 3ish.

cheers shug,
sounds great.

i started looking at elises last year but exige is much more my thing TBH.
wanted one since 2000 and i can till remember the date i first saw one on the road.(geek)
the dc2 is great and theres a great community of owners on itr-dc2.com but they are getting way to common about my way,at least 8 people i know have one.when i got mine there wa only 2 other tegs i knew of local.
idealy i would like an s1 but sometimes i find them daunting,engine rebuilds and the like.
but i'm a racer at heart and want something that knocks my socks off everytime i'm in it.
Dean

Get you lot talking behind my back!

I now dont have to sell it, last week i thought it was unavoidable - it would probably be the sensible thing to do but I dont want to.

p/x for an s1 was a "devil you know" plan

, and they`re not bad cars, despite what G says....

edited to add ; that is a shocking, shocking picture - one day shug i`ll explain what it is people like me do !
