A decade of Exige ownership

EFA

Probably a Badger after-shave mate! :smiley:

Good day yesterday, largely spent in the car with IDG for company driving all over the place. Great to see Russ and the lads last night.

Anyways, Ian and I got to call in on Matt and Matt Bentley Racing to drop off some bits, pick up some bits and have a look at progress and discuss some upcoming decisions…oh and take a couple of pics.

Well the clams are off :

And the engine is out :

Engine ready for cams…and bling :sunglasses:

Gearbox stripped and is mint…must be because I drive like a girl :laughing:

Awaiting the Wavetrac fitting




Really can’t wait for it to start coming back together,…its gonna be awesome :sunglasses:

Fantastic Ben, exciting stuff buddy

That double declutching paying off dude !!

Exactly!! To my untrained eye I was amazed at the condition of it…

… said the Bishop to the Actress! :smiley:

Trust Peter to inject a bit of slapstick…oooerr missus :wink:

When asked where I was on Friday, I explained to a female american colleague that I had been to see my car and that it was its latest phase in its ten year evolution etc etc and she said :

“So its kinda like a really slow version of Pimp My Ride?” :laughing:

Awesome Ben… a nice list of well proven mods…

I need to shape myself and get out again too - recently found out we have another little’un on the way so I need to get out whilst I can and before my house turns into the Waltons too :smiley:

Congrats Dave and fair play Ben, its looking good!!

Yeah congrats from me too bud, that’s fantastic news. Now it starts to get interesting! Having a newborn to keep you all night and then other little ones to keep you busy all day,…that’s a really ‘special time’ :smiley:

As for the car, yup I’ve tried to keep to the well-trod path. It’s a pretty small herd but I’m following it :smiley:

You coming to the noisy day at Donny Dave?

Well thanks… you’ve got me looking forward to it already :wink:

Emm…when’s noisy day ? - as you can probably tell I haven’t been keeping up to date !

It’s on Tue 22nd with BAT.

No can do I’m afraid… in Southampton with work that week :frowning:

Well change it BIG Daddy :wink: Congrats Dave :clap:

Nice one Dave. I recently found out our third is on the way and whilst at Brands briefly discussing this with Ben, he assured me that it’s going to be absolute bedlam. ‘Outnumbered’ if I remember correctly. Still thinking about that lots Ben, so cheers for that!!

Anyway, your project looks like it’s well on the way now. You’re going to love it.

I’m afraid going from 2 to 3 kids is in my experience significantly harder than from 1 to 2. So Dave take comfort that Jamie is gonna have it tougher,…sorry bud :wink:

Yup we’re soon to be entering ‘all the parts are here lets reassemble’ phase of my project,…its all good :sunglasses:

Looking good!

Where is it going for the remap?

Thanks bud, it’s going to TDI.

You back in the UK? Let me know if you need someone to run you out to Steve Williams eh??

Back at the weekend, and yes next week it should be ready to roll.
