I'm officially an exige owner, and so far I'm loving it. It certainly feels more focused and urgent than my s2 Elise. Now I need to start saving to prep it for some track days

Congrats....we need pictures!

There was a 190 Exige on a run out I did a couple of weeks ago, went very well and looked lovely, I might have to have a look when I change next, I'd like something that I can do some trackdays in and it wont cripple me in running costs!

Congrats! Sold mine two years ago, still missing it. Best 'fun per £' car ever.

Welcome to the exige club. Have you got an S1 or S2?

S2 exige (an S1 would have been lovely, but a little too raw and fragile - rover k vhpd, wonderful engine but a source of worry).
I was going to get a 111r, in the end it came down to which car I would look back at as I walked away from it. I'm used to the stunning looks of an Elise so I went for the exige, and I'm very happy with it. First upgrade will be a full geo, then hopefully get over to Oulton Park for a couple of track days. As it is I currently find myself standing in the garage just looking at it biggrin

Congratulations mate, excellent choice! thumbup

Any pictures?

I made the same move myself from a 111S K series to a 190 Exige a couple of years a go and haven't regretted it one bit. I'm also having it supercharged in a couple of weeks which should turn it into a different car altogether - I'll keep you posted on how it goes.

I'm going to update my profile with some pics at the weekend. Let me know how you get on with the SC kit. It's on my list for the next 12 months
