New V6 Exige pics

[Scotty C]

Have you managed to sort out my test drive at hethel yet

well for .... sake get your ass down here, you've only been threatening for 9 months ...I don't know, the thought of a road trip and a few drinks, the old Scotty would be on the way - you've changed

let me know when it is and i will be there, try and make it a friday (do you still get a half day?) so we can have a night out in Norwich after.

Going by this video I'd say yes.

I think we've been goading Graeme into an SE-exclusive event at Hethel for some time now.

Lay on a V6 Exige and a new blown Elise on your new FIA compliant circuit and you could land quite a posse I think, Graeme...

Not sure about the "night out in Norwich after" thing though. Is it not all just turnips and warm beer there?

If you're looking for the factory line, the answer is the same as the last Exige, i.e. no it doesn't............

FFS boys my flat is a decent size but someone will be sleeping "en toilette" as my French boos would say....

It will take me a while to organise such a scale of sales drive - but my colleagues are keen to use the factory as more of a sales tool, so rest assured I shall be working on it...

and campbell, the only turnip I've eaten was with my imported haggis - and yes, it was a surprise to me that they have beer fridges down here too....sadly 'cos you've all delayed it a bit the beer gardens will be chillier than of late

[robin]

I'm sure there's a suitable hostel in Norfolk that can put us up for the night ..

Cheers,
Robin

I read that as yes with a very small (non Lotus approved) modification.
It does look identical although I couldn't see the front grommets for the roof spars. Assume after £15 parts and swift dremmel the standard Elise Soft top would then pop right on.

Graeme, by the time you have worked out the logistics it'll be springtime so the beer "gardens" (turnip patches?) will be fair game again

As for accommodation, don't worry, we're only using your flat for the party. Accommodation courtesy of Travelsplodge I expect...

And FlyBe would get the Edinburgers there for £90 return...almost beats driving (although if you get us passes to try our own cars on the factory track I'll happily drive!!)

Bet you've got your head in your hands now
