Well the wait is finally over… (like 8 months over) After registering my interest last year I went to pick up the new beastie today…

I was trying my hardest to keep it quite but with so many people in contact with the factory it didnt stay a secret for too long but for those who didnt know here she is!!

(You boys aint gonna know what hit ya in next years racing!!)

Taking a drive out to Oulten tommorow provided the weather holds (need to get that 1000 miles on the clock so I can book a trackday…)

You lucky lucky boy Gav


is it in addition to the exige ?
if so I am in the wrong job !

p.s. what reaction does it get when driving down the street ?

3

Is that the track pack wing and splitter on there?

4

Excellent - looks really good with that wing…now answer those questions above what reaction do you get on the road?

5

God that�s sexy stuff drool…

Nice one Gav!

I think he’s using the proceeds off selling the angel of the north to a passing Yank…

7

Yes it is the track pack wing and splitter Mark…

No, I have not sold the Angel of the North (or my soul to the devil for that matter)!!

15 yrs of getting shitup everyday wadding through other people’s rubbish is finally starting to pay off!!

tbh, I was too busy paying attention to where i was going to see any reactions on faces…

8

We’re only jealous - what are your initial thoughts having driven it for a bit on the road?

9

it was telling me to go faster!!

god damn you 4.5k rev limit!!

10

Looks great Gav. Which class will it end up racing in?

11

Pass?? Draft regs for 08 are being looked at now i believe so we will see how it fits into the scheme of things when they are announced…

Regardless of where ever it sits in the classes, it’s going to be a whole load of fun seeing how well a car which pretty much comes straight from the factory does against the boys with all the heavy mods.

12

stunning gav just stunning

13

It’ll be a shame not to have you flying the Exige (s2) flag in the series but good luck against the big boys…come to think of it shouldn’t you be posting on www.211s.com from now on?

14

have fun and drive safe!

15

Many thanks for the quick trip out on Saturday, Gav Can’t wait to see ya giving it some beans in the LOT Series next year - should be awesome

16

The pleasure was all mine Pesky, You will need to get another ride out now she is pretty much ready to roll properly…

:thumbs

17

What happened to my ride out Gav ?

looks the business

I take it you wont be doing any rain dances for the l.o.t races next year though

20

It wont bother me that much tbh Chris, I have done so many kart races in the cold and wet you just get use to it adn once the adrenalin is pumping you tend to forget how wet you are getting and just concentrate on the job in hand …

Besides, I will be looking forward to using the traction control to it’s full effect, so should have lilttle or no spray in front of me anyway, just a nice clear track…


Ha - ha - ha,
Ho - ho - ho-
And a couple of tra - la - las.
That’s how we laugh the day away,
In the Merry Old Land of Oz!


(I can hear the moaning now…). LOL


Promise you a ride out next time…
