To this Exige S

Can only get a specialist to insure it for a few hundred miles and the insurance is more than the S2000.

The fact it isnt mine is also a reason its got to go back.

Got any bigger pictures mate? Would be good to see it properly before it goes!

Don't forget to buy a brand new car to replace it with, then you can have zero outlay motoring!

This means, that as my megane is cheaper to run than my prelude was, I too qualify for ZOM (tm)

While the car is awesome the gearbox on it is a bit meh coming from the S2000.

Westyfield2 · 24 May 2011 at 12:49

Couldn't handle all the torques?

Just thought I'd add a bit of irrelevant information - I've driven into the very carpark that lotus is parked in

L0rdMike · 24 May 2011 at 14:41

Pigbush I believe.

ScarySquirrel · 24 May 2011 at 15:11

That is awesome.

That is not the car park it was looking for...

Pretty much any car gear box will be meh compared to the S2000 box

Back in the S2000 now. Seems so slow in comparison.

ScarySquirrel · 24 May 2011 at 21:18

How do you tell if a gear box is good or not?

daveydave · 24 May 2011 at 21:20

Shouldn't have sold it, but this was covered in the previous thread. Stunning car though, shame.

Depends whether or not each gear shift is as satisfying as eating a Snickers.

Bonus points for knowing where that picture was taken?

What's the story then Mike - did you test drive the Exige?

-Ad- · 24 May 2011 at 21:30

Proof that Honda engineer gearboxes like Russia engineers XXX amateur teens.

Give it up, we all know with 150% certainty that you swapped it for an Audi A4 on 29.9% APR.
