We went up to London today for a bit of a family get together, now, I don�t usually relish the prospect of a hour and a half drive into London, but my day instantly became better when I managed a precious few seconds gawp at a 997 GT3 that glided passed us just as we left home, and, after following an M6 for a bit of the way, the journey was starting not to seem so bad, then, what should I see on the opposite side of the M40, but a black Honda Exige (Ben?); but, and this is the bit that really surprised me, even after seeing such pieces of exotica, and even after an AMV8 came past, it was the S1 that still had (to me at least) the most presence, the most impact out of all of them, to be honest I was surprised just how good it looked, and just how much charisma it had� this was until we passed (that�s passed) a stunningly beautiful Lamborghini Murcielago, at which point I realised that not even the pared-back racer that is the Exige, can stand up to 12 cylinders of rampant Italian ponies�
Still though, especially on the roads, the Exige somehow has that straight out of Le Mans feel, and although it may not have more presence than a Lambo, it certainly is a genuine little exotic, God I love �em�
Merry Christmas
