When 'The wife says it has to go...'

All,

I’m sure most of you have scratched around Pistonheads or Autotrader at some point and seen the ‘change of circumstances’, ‘I’m now a father’ and ‘the wife says now we’re parents it has to go’ adverts. Very sad…very sad. No exige owner should have to go through this…

So, when I put my 9 month old son in my car today for his maiden Lotus voyage, and the Maxicosi Baby Seat fitted (yes it did!), I thought we need to start a list of all the family things the Exige can do, so that when that conversation comes up with your ‘better half’ ( ), Exiges.com has equipped you with as many reasons as possible why the Exige should stay!

Further to my son’s first Lotus experience, he was so chilled he went asleep, so the Exige has a calming affect on a young child. Wonderful…

So here goes:

  1. Maxicosi baby seat fits
  2. Baby finds K-series engine the perfect lullaby
  3. …
  4. …

As you can see, I’m enjoying time off work, so I promise, this is my last post of the evening!!

…that will go down like a lead balloon with the missus.

Hmm, nobody got their creativity hats on at the moment…must be all the boozing and feasting going on!

Little kids and big boys toys have always gone hand in hand…never understood those adverts about selling. Don’t people plan their lives?
