Loving your fleet, Cowan [emoji7]

Thanks! The Alpine suits my bodyshape a bit better than a lotus now... The weather might be a bit more promising this year for a catch up when you're down at Kippford.

Cheers,
Cowan

Hi, Didn’t really gel with the Exige 390 FE I posted about earlier this year… (the Elise simply feels more special to drive IMO), and purchased this 2023 600 mile factory built Gardner Douglas GD427 mk4 LS7 (upgraded cam) 550-600hp Cobra recreation.. not really a replica as it has a backbone chassis...

Lovely!! Is that tdf blue and cuoio interior? Just the best combo! Blu Scozia and Terra Bruciata - similar to cuoio but darker I did wonder to be honest as the interior looked a shade darker. Difficult to tell sometimes. I just happen to have had an F12 in TDF blue and cuoio 3 years ago. Enjoy!

Bloody hell Cowan that’s LOVELY. Well done!

Thanks Campbell! The colour really pops. Just waiting on a new gearbox sensor which is causing a engine management light and a geo to be done at Craig’s.. hoping it’ll be done soon before the (hopefully) good weather arrives..

Cowan

Hi, Sold my Elise sport 220 and Caterham 420s and bought an Exige Sport 390 FE in what looks like (not sure what the colour is called..) azure blue. It doesn’t have the black pack which is a bonus. Had some practical mods done at Craig’s couple of weeks ago. Here’s hoping for some nice weather.. Che...

Try SELOC more traffic on there, probably been asked already.

Cheers! Thanks for that. I had forgotten about Seloc.. Not sure if I’m still a member on there .. it’s only been 14 years!

Thanks again!

Hi, Wonder if anyone can help.. I’m looking for an exhaust valve bypass switch which uses the OEM connector already there behind the cowling behind the steering wheel. I’ve seen a YouTube clip of an owner who managed to purchase the switch for his Exige Final edition. The switch itself fits into the...

Nice one Cowan.

Hopefully get to see it next time I’m in Kippford [emoji6]. We are overdue a catch-up.

Cheers Campbell, indeed, we never managed to get round to it last year. Didnt help with it being a total wash out during the kids summer holidays. Give me a shout when you’re next up for it

Cowan

Thanks for chiming in, much appreciated. Concluded the purchase yesterday from Hendy Motors in Southampton, but unfortunately it has a faulty door lock it seems, so wont see it for another couple of weeks. Never mind.. Not exactly the weather to be enjoying it at the moment anyway.

Thanks again!
