Hi from a new owner

I posted this on seloc but in case no one here is a member, I am the proud new owner of car 399 titanium exige s1 previously owned by a fellow Exiger.

I made a conscientious decision last year to find the right lotus for me and also booked the French Trip with LOT after missing it for the last couple of years as an incentive.

So finally I picked up my Exige last week (thank you Jamie from B&C for your patience, excellent service and co-ordination as I am working far away)

First real chance to drive it this was morning, many times this week I have been close to pulling that ‘sickie’ from work just to drive it (my commute is boring motorway so this car is for fun drives, not everyday)

So no lay in, up and away to head out for some great driving roads before the masses awake.
Route planned yesterday from http://www.bestbikingroads.com (great source btw if you’re new to an area)

Well worth getting up early, It seems this is the only way these days to really enjoy driving roads.
Straight away its great to have that direct steering and braking feel again and to get excited about about actually going for a drive rather than just getting to your destination because you have to.

Hopefully meet up with some of you guys on a trackday or organised trips.

Fantastic :sunglasses:

Well done on a great purchase! I saw your car at B&C earlier this year and thought it looked stunning.

Keep an eye on the ‘Events’ section and get yourself along to a trackday/meet - you and the car would be more than welcome!

Agreed & welcome aboard :clap:

Welcome! Many congrats!

Lovely car! Do you know owned it before on here?

Enjoy those drives that go ‘nowhere’ too! :smiley:

Hi, welcome. Lovely looking car. Whereabouts are you?

The car is a real credit to the previous owner (X1EXG user)

I am based in the Midlands but currently have the car with me in Southern Germany so I can enjoy the roads around here.

Welcome, but please be aware S1 gaylords have their own section.

Is that S1 speak for HGF??

:laughing:

I do love S1 Exiges - looks awesome

Get yourself on MLOC as well and if you can check out the Chatsworth threads in either site event sections.

Welcome :thumbup:

Let us know when your back in the UK, be nice to see your car as im in stoke with an S1 so im guessing not to far away.

Germany with the forces?

Welcome :slight_smile:

looks like a lovely car!
realised I had not actually logged on much for a long time, so hopefully this will prompt me to get a bit more involved again…

Lovely car, welcome :thumbup:

Welcome… Liking your car… grey is simply the best colour of course!

Congratulation you bought the right exige for yourself and welcome!!!

Cheers Sam, much appreciated, good luck with the sale of yours

Hi Dris,

A warm welcome from me after your messages to me on that other forum. I’m back home now and look forward to putting our lovely titanium cars in the same car park. Did you get anywhere with enquiries about the interior?
