I keep reading here, that a lot of wives/ partners don’t seem to like travelling ( as a passenger) anywhere in an EXIGE .
Speaking for us , Mrs P doesn’t like travelling in the Exige very much I didn’t insure her for either of the Loti , as she , at one point had 9 points for speeding ( in a SMART car )
Her Reasons re the Exige.
Scares her.
Noisy.
Hard ride.
Goes to fast.
Difficult to get in , & out off
The car attracts to much attention , when parking/parked
I might have mentioned elsewhere that Mrs Thommo is not a fan.
Last year (after four years of ownership) it turned out she actively dislikes it (too hot, too noisy)and, worst of all, doesn’t like the colour - yellow - which is a bit odd as she never said that about the yellow 111S we had.
I’m lucky. Mrs B is a fan, but hasn’t driven it since the collect from Bournemouth to Lincs. The longest jaunt we’ve done in it was to the Lotus event at Snetterton last year. We packed camping kit and she was as happy as…
I think she’s not driven it as she’s aware that I have OCD with it, in so much as its a disaster if it gets stone chipped (of which it has MANY more since we bought it).
She had input with the colour putting me off the Chrome Orange one I fancied, and asking me to imagine that parked outside the place we like to have a drink…waaay too brash! That’s why we have a Titanium one.
The ambition (when I’ve fitted the Jenvey T/B’s)is to take it to Europe for either Le Mans or touring…she’s fully onboard with the plan, and looks forward to it.
and that’s just the sex She loves the exige but can’t get insured on it being 22, i think longer term i’ll get her a sorted elise or a cayman and she can track that. I’m lucky in that her Dad and brother are both petrolheads and she’s grown up with sports cars. Whatever she ends up with tho i’d rather it was less special than the exige so she can use it as a daily and park it anywhere
Err indoors has only driven mine once and says since 260 kit is now too fast.
She does however suggest going for a run out when the weather is nice but same as Mrs Podger in finding it uncomfortable (her feet dont reach the footrest) and attracts too much attention.
I am very lucky - my wife not only �njoyed the trip last year to Andalucia and back, but also put up with the limit of two soft bags for the three weeks away. Provence this year, a bit shorter!
I upgraded from a Westfield which she hated. I drove, my wife went by plane.
Other half chosen on the basis of being an absolute fan. Likes driving the car and going for long road trips - Le Mans and Monte Carlo included. I’m very lucky.
Carol used to drive mine regularly, even to shows and the like, and proudly proclaimed herself as one of the few grannies to drive an Exige. She wouldn’t go on holiday in it though so one of them had to go…
Mate she did not look like she loved it when I saw her getting out of it at Anglesey, unless loving it involves covering your eyes and screaming
Jane has not been in my mota for about 3-4years and her attitude to it is best described as total indifference. She only cares about the fact that she knows that it and sadboys.com keeps me smiling…
