Exige picture & video thread

Wandering around town during the holidays, hence the empty streets.

Great photo, that colour really looks good and I like the TF mirrors too.

Don't mind at all!

@geartox : great video, Nicolas  ... even if Magny-Cours F1 track is a bit too "flat" to me ! can't remember, are you on stock suspensions ? 

PS: no one else was on the asphalt  ? 

 

[geartox]

75 cars registered for the trackday. But due to the weather, many people have left before the end. so yes, I was alone during the last "session". I was coached by an LMP2, LMP3 and VdeV pilot, he tried to explain me how to find the best trajectory with this weather. Really challenging, because it could be really different from dry trajectory.

A few new upgrades to Magpie... I'll get round to writing posts about the new wing over the coming month or so after a few track days. I think the girls looking pretty neat now

Have you got some form of extension or bumper on the CupR splitter it looks a deeper than the standard item

Yes…..keen eye, Imran -- no wind tunnel testing was done, but I'm sure it's good for .001 seconds per lap ….. does somewhat protect the splitter as it's made from rubber.

Hmmm, couldn't the wing mirrors be a bit more aerodynamic? And, erm, carbony? 

[JohnnySC]

Hi Alias, is that a hose reel you've attached to the new wing ?   Very interesting development.

Yes it's his new water injection to keep intake temps down

True if we didn't have such heavy custom charges and awful pound against the dollar rates I'd be buying Transforged wings from @Ex Londoner for sure!

Let's not get into water injection... haven't we already got a three page thread on the topic lol

Lol, Customs is robbing us all!

 

We ordered five sets of Team Dynamics Superlights (the lightest wheel they do) and DHL made us bend over badly!

Imran!!! Wow!!! I am jealous... looks phantastic!!! Cant wait to read more about it... very high on my list as a next one as well...

[NW76]

The crazy one took the roof off:

I actually like it ... makes we want to take mine off as well!!

This boy should be getting marketing commission from Lotus - I wonder how many people he's turned onto the Exige since he bought his! What a car!

[M4rk]

I really like the colour choice he made, it looks so good, especially with the sun on it.  He has so much enthusiasm for the car, he clearly loves it.  I'm sure there are now many more people interested in what the Exige is all about, which is a good thing.  Hopefully one day he lets his mate Archie unleash it on track.

Did he pay full, list price for his car? 

[NW76]

This one was one of the best ones for me to watch ... he is truly excited and I am sure it will make a younger audience aware what a great car this is ...

Ha we'll never know the answer to that but he certainly does his bit for the brand.......nearly couldn't watch though when they started driving back with the roof off and his pal using it as a wind brake  I bet its a different shape now, from what it was when he took it off!

[franjipane]

Brilliant, the bit from 10:42 hahah he's loving it - https://youtu.be/3VpOgyXpfpE?t=10m42s
