Exige Spotted

[Kiwi XTR2]

Just caught a glimpse of an Exige in Red Beach. Didn't get a good look or the rego as it was raining but it was in a kind of metalic bronze / titanium ?¿?

Any idea how many of them are about?

Will go out (with the sniffer dogs) to search for it in the morning.

That'll be James's Exige, pretty sure he's up that way somewhere.

Very nice

As I said, I didn't get a very good look but do they come in a slightly darker colour?

It's not the a black one that parks in the car parking building behind Smith and Caughys in New Market is it? I've seen it a couple of times. Hard to tell as they all look the same to me.

Storm itanium looks darker than that in person.... more a gunmetal

This is me keeping James honest at Manfeild a few weeks back... you can see it's a MUCH darker colour than my silver.... James doesn't like it when I pass him... he's the bloke I bought my car off



This is a truer representation of the colour

That one is a replica is it Esprit?

Nope, it's a genuine Exige, one of 4 on the roads in NZ (not including "new" cars that Roger has at LCNZ yet to sell (which makes another three I think... a Exige, an Exige S and a timebomb... err I mean an Exige Turbo.

James's car was crashed and rebuilt though from new, and as such is probably one of the best Exiges in the country.
