I have heard about this move some of you lads are up to - S1 better because?

I think its the ex demo, that Ian Adamson (MMC) had spectating at the Doune hill climb last September. I could be wrong though. but it looks a nice car.

I know that LotusLee has a shot of a graphite exige last year (or year before) when he was waiting for delivery of his CO exige. I looked back the posts for the number plate, but the photos have been removed from his photobucket site.

Focus gents we are trying to bring another one to the fold form the dark side.

More pics

Dave I am sure if you use the search button top right you will find a posting from me a year or so ago about day to day living with an S2 Exige when I started toying with the idea, lots of good post re living with your first set of 48s when commuting etc.

Anyone care to comment on:

Servicing costs yr 1,2 & 3
Tyre costs / options
Insurance
Must have options e.g. AC
Abbreviations to look out for, tadts etc ?

Hmm he should look in the wiki shouldn't he ?

Servicing costs yr 1,2 & 3 - depends if you use a specialist or MMC - See ALS or JPS threads for A, B and C service costs - way better service and 50% of the costs!
Tyre costs / options - 48's unless you are a mincer - £500-ish per set (expect 4-6k from rears depending on use)
Insurance - massive difference depending on your stats
Must have options e.g. AC - ac is handy, and again depending on use I'd want the sports pack. If its mainly for road toruing pack might be handy
Abbreviations to look out for, tadts etc ? - WTF

likeing the "48s unless you are a mincer" chat! lol......there is also an '05 Exige Graphite Grey at MMC for £25k listed as "exige performance" it has harnesses - not sure this will do my £600 suits any good though! Time to down grade the suits and get a grip i think and embrace the dirt.

yeah - reckon thats the way fwd then at least u have a choice which may be handy in the winter. I remember seeing sanj driving the lote through 4 inches of snow on the A9 once - it was hilarious. Never seen his eyes so big with fear! lets just say he aint a natural swedish rally driver
