The fun really starts tomorrow.
6 weeks and I can drive.
Can - not - wait
Edit for clarity : The 6 week delay is NOT due to SeriouslyLotus. I have had ACL reconstruction so I cannot drive at present.

I can justify it though! Car was in storage for 4 months, then I snapped my ACL, tore my LCL and ripped a hole in the meniscus!
I think 250 ish of those miles were going to see @seriouslylotus and @JDS !
ouch! hope alls fixed now though 
Had the op 3 weeks ago. Few more weeks till I can drive. 
Hope recovery is going well. Won’t be long now . . .
Thanks @thommo. Its not dropped off so I am classing that as a good thing.
Delighted to say the car is now home and weighing down the garage quite nicely.

In some exciting news to me I drove the Exige yesterday for the first time since back from SeriouslyLotus and their remedial work on the suspension.
TBH the car felt good before , but now. Now its next level. No clunks, no bangs , no knocks and it feels so direct and darty. Its absolutely superb.
Sure it could be a placebo and I havent driven it a long time but I am really delighted with it!
I could do with a tyre tread gauge as I think the rears are getting a little low. Cant feel the tread marker but we are getting close
I have noted a significant increase in the oil temps. Previously it was around ambient plus 20. Its now more like ambient +40 so really happy with that! Water temps remain around 87/88 deg C.

I have been getting gradually more adventerous as my ACL recovery goes on. Nearly 8 weeks on so decided today would be the day to wash the car.
Prewash it was dusty and the AD52 seem to be holding up well on the front
Some snowfoam
and then some Geon QD.
My son came back from work so decided to pop over to Blyton.
Saw a fantastic Cayman GT4.
Also spotted a current BTCC run by Dan Lloyd. That thing was bonkers quick and sounded freaking amazing

How did you knee doing with getting in and about now with the E?
One thing I love about Exige is that even parked next to a new Pork, the E does not look dated a all.
