Him. Exige. Growing on me! Do they do them with 4 seats?! Oh no, that's an Evora...

Enjoy it, Dickson. Great spec.

I saw your post and wondered if Pete had taken it for a final drive but wasn't him as it was tucked up at his home after its day at the detailers.

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

Well I'm just in from a night at Knockhill and had a huge grin on my face all evening :D. It was fantastic and a big step up from my old Elise, particularly the braking where I'm sure I could have left it even later than I did but fear usually brought me on the brakes ahead of when I probably could leave it. I'm certainly no skilled driver and this car has far more ability than I can extract. But I had great fun and only thing to pass me was a modified GTR supposedly putting out 600bhp. Loads of comments about the sound from the 2ubular up the straight. Need to hear it myself one day from the pit wall.
Hope this post doesn't give you any regrets Pete! The car was epic. :thumbsup Look forward to seeing what you get next.

I'll see if any pics were taken as some nice cars including a lovely 1973 Carrera RS :love which I had a pax in and was surprising able even if the suspension was a little soft.

Ahhh, it's great to be back! :D
