Thumbs up Lotus Exige S Super

well I went out in one on the 28th
The way the car pulls its like peter stringfellow at a strip club
and sticks to the road like vanessa feltz on a box of Donuts
went out for a spin on the back roads of Upminster to lakeside and back
no problems the car had a set of 888's on dam they are good
Sinclaire Motorsport has done a lot of work to the car
it puts out just under 290bhp
now for the bad part I would have one but for the small matter of 30k needed for a good one and then 10k to tune it
but i dont think you will find any car for under 100k that will give this thing a kicking
its the way it gets from 0 to 60mph and from 60 to 120

and the funny part after the best part of 2 hours of having some fun i did my neck in
going around corners like a man thats just been given eternal life
we went to the Spire Hartswood Hospital
doctor said whiplash and has put me on some strong pain killers an some thing to help me sleep

need to have a chat with the mrs i need one

Love these motors. You can pick up a used S variant for £20,000 and provided you know what to look out for you're sorted.
It's second in my 'list of next cars'. Unsure of what to get next, either a 350z or a VX220. But this is a good 3-5 years away yet.

Awesome cars but for the money saving alone id rather a tuned vx220 turbo or even a supercharged na for under 15k. They really do defy the laws of gravity though lol

How did you get in one mate? Track day experience or? Any pics.
