    Took delivery of my Exige S

    Hey guys,

    My Lotus Exige S arrived today at last! First of all I can say that this thing compared to the normal Exige is like night and day. It just has so much power!!

    Here are some pics, will post more detailed review of thoughts etc. later. Car is in having 3M film installed and will be getting it back in a couple of hours. Will be posting more pictures then. Sorry for the bad quality, they were taken with camera phone.

    Test drove the Exige S here in Australia today. A lot faster than the standard Exige. Truly a great car. Well done on a great purchase.

    Has to go in for a 1500km service, going to have the perfomance pipes installed then. At the moment the standard pipes sound too quiet for me

    The rear view mirror is pretty useless, because you can see NOTHING out of it. Intercooler sits there.
