Lovely looking car Scott and looks in mint condition.

However it looks as if it does not plastic covers on the driving lights. You need to put some on as soon as you can get a pair, as I guarantee they will get smashed.

Find yourself some rain and a quiet roundabout for some fun
Think not! haha it needs some getting used to before anything like that would be attempted. Ofcourse only on private grounds and not on a main road :thumbsup

Hey Scott

Just noticed you've been an SE member for 2 months.

From thinking about buying an Exige in a year or so, to owning an Elise and all in 60 days!

Thats a quality effort :damnfunny :damnfunny :cheers

I blame it on you guys grrrrrrr :x

Came on here just ahhhh I will have a wee join and learn some more about the exige before investing in one.

Then big mistake came when I went to a few track days the bug started, then after that I realised how affordable an S1 was for me.

Spotted one and went straight for it. You guys must cost people a fortune on here! Lets just hope the wee 206 goes soon or I will end up bankrupt haha!

Dominic the car is unbelievable. I guess you cannot really feel what its like until your in the drivers seat. The rush you get accelerating with the roars behind you leaves you speechless. The accuracy or every little thing you do and how it reponds. Its seems very sensitive and reacts to your slightest touch I love it to pieces :D

I just realised it sounded like a saucy novel hahaha :D

Holly will need to be extra nice to get in it and ill need to be there, I was para enough with her driving the pug.

:P

She is a really good driver though, its just I find it hard to trust people with my car its my pride and joy :D
