If Carlsberg made cars

Post by Kinger » Tue Jul 16, 2013 10:00 pm

Just had a fantastic run back from Murray's over Glenshee, a beautiful night for a drive in an absolutely fantastic new car. I couldn't believe how different the new Exige is compared to the old model. Really can't wait to see those Angel eyes lighting up on the dash, even keeping the revs below 4000rpm the engine felt so responsive.

I really don't want to go to work tomorrow, just want to drive it to get to the miles up to the magic running in service. Then I should be able to open the taps up and see just how different it is.

Attached a couple of pic taken just ove the top of Glenshee.

Looks great, Jamie was mentioning at Kames you were swapping the Evora. Didn't think it would be as soon as this.

Maybe you need to come to Camusdarach to do some running in miles ?

She just eats up the miles I went over to France last week just for a blast 2300 miles. I now have 6500 miles on the clock and she is just getting faster.

Are the red calipers standard or upgraded brakes?

Have you fitted or ordered a harness bar and new harnesses yet for the Frolic?

Huge congrats :thumbsup I know your feelings having done exactly the same run last week picking up my new Elise S. maybe see you on Sundays run as we try to much through the 1000miles. I'm booked back in already for the 9th Aug with currently 450miles done in the last 8 days. :D

Good job :thumbsup

That probably is the perfect car for you and perfect for a bit of frolicing.

Look forward to seeing it on Sunday. There's no way you can go to the golf now.
