Well its been all of a year since Him Indoors has had a new car.. Its time to dump that lardy (if yet awesome sounding) big bum barge and get something that can go on track and not come back with a brake issue that Ford couldnt solve. The car had 2 or more sets of discs, padxs, hubs checked for run off and yet they still wobbled when it braked (from high speed)

Almost for as long as I've known him he's loved these things and after many many searches of Pistonheads and wishing he could have one he found a black Exige S, 220, ACU with sports pack, roll over and harness bar (harnesses should be along very quickly) and about 8,600 miles on a 58 plate.

So its bye bye Mountuned RS and hello small, revvy, stupidly quick Lotus Exige S












I test drove it when we went to see it last weekend and BOY does she shift. You think you are really wringing the neck out of it but you're nowhere near it! Its definitly a Jap engine (its a 1.8 supercharged engine from a Celica) and has 3 lights that tell you when to change gear (by the third light you really should be changing up) and that engine is just screaming inches away from the back of your head.

She's got no power steering but when you're out and about you really cant tell. My first two cars didnt have power steering so its certainly taken me back!!! LOL

Oh yeh and that "boot"? Pfft... boot.. that an insult to boots! A space where you can cram a few SMALL things is a better description hehehe. Oh and yeh I've gone from being ferried about in relative luxury, space and comfort to being so close if I'm not careful Him Indoors grabs a handful of thigh when he goes for the handbreak! Oooer!
