"he begins rant........
Here is my theory, for us the cool wall is irrelevant.
All we care about is it weighs nothing, goes like nothing else in corners and does not brake down every ten minutes if it so happened to look like the muts nuts then cool.

The cool wall is for posers who buy cars as a statement of their position (or arguably lack of it) in society eg most Aston and Porker owners in London.

The lap times should be more relevant but in this case not - was chatting to Graham at Plans today he said the stig was a new one, and was crap, he was turning in too early on the 2nd to last corner and killing his time. As Graham said to the producer 'that was crap i could do better!' (think he secretly would love to be the stig) :lol:

White Exiges rule ....... almost as much as red ones

yeah, that stig was really hairy exiting the hammerhead - would be interesting* if the technobods could post up a side by side video of the black exige, and the white S for the sake of comparison..




*interesting in a sad sad way - would be cool to see though 8)

They should have done the ghost car thing that Fifth Gear do, with the ghost car being a standard exige, I am sure general punters would have found that more interesting than the "putting a better driver in a sh*t car" thing they did.

White looks very Miami Vice.

I like the white/black combo of the standard car, not convinced with the all in white look though. :D

does have the standard Exige wheels on it though, slightly disappointing.. thought they all had those solid 5-spokers that look like split-rims.

you picked up your porker yet paul?

{prepare for :flame }

I don't like the car in white - not even the 240 cup.


And not so keen on the panel fit of the "boot" either.

The panel fit on the 240R at KH last year was truly shocking!
