Triple black Lotus Exige

[Neil@rockvale]

Sold and gone to new home . Was an awesome wee car and glad i ticked the box but just wasn't getting to use it enough and i wouldn't get to track it as any spare time and effort will be into the drag bug and going racing so def wasn't getting into track days also . Also wanted something with back seats as my lad is at the age where he wants to come with me everywhere and hes car mad so that's way more important to me than having a 2 seater and having to leave him at home .

Shame mate but at least you have had one as you say.

They do go with a lifestyle, not for the faint hearted

Glad you gave it a go

There comes a time in your father hood when you realise, a painful reality, you need a Ford Galaxy............happens to everyone with kids

The amount of crap you have to carry with 2 kids!
If I had 4 I'd be thinking about a van.

I never understood this mentality, I have a young boy myself and apart from the very odd time I need a stroller for him in the boot or his wee school bag what else is there?

NO no no this is not a sell the toys and get a people carrier thread lol. I already have a family wagon for daily duties but i wanted a more family friendly toy just . The exige might as well have been a motorbike as i only got out in it on my own lol . I got a nice family friendly 997 C2s with aero kit to replace it .

Lol, I was going to suggest a 911 but I should've known you'd have the replacement bought already.

[ChrisL]

[Laundrymike]

Love that!

 

[euge07]

[Mont]

Oh yeah! That's pretty much perfect

 

[saxo_man]

Fantastiche! Love the spoiler. What model is that 997?

Excellent - not an Exige, but if needs must

The back "seat" is really more of a glorified parcel shelf, even a small lad might struggle

 

[Neil@rockvale]

Just thought as I never updated the thread here is a pic of the Exige after I fitted some Team Dynamics wheels and a new set of Toyo888r 's . Also fitted a Stage 2 lotus stainless exhaust which sounded epic and had loads of pops n crackles on gear change and over run etc

 

[Neil@rockvale]

Fantastiche! Love the spoiler. What model is that 997?

Yes 997 C2S with factory Aero Kit

Lol a back seat is a back seat ;-) .
