Greetings All - New Exige Owner - LotusTalk

Benjamin · 09-30-2007, 06:34 PM

Hello All! - New Elise Talk member here in Toledo, OH - I owe all of you a debt of gratitude as I have been lurking for some time, picking up information. (I have watched shay2nak's car rifling down the street hundreds of times probably

) My journey started last winter at the Cleveland Auto Show. Saw a Black 07 Exige there and the obsession was on! I stumbled across this site later and it has served as my primary source of information since. Sincere thanks to all those responsible for its upkeep & content!

Last week I picked up a Phantom 07 Exige from Auto Europe in Birmingham Michigan - my salesman's name was David - found him to be a true enthusiast and thus far the experience has been excellent.

Still breaking the car in now - Goes in next week for First Service - Stage 2 Exhaust - Harnesses - Back Up Camera - And Lights.

Regards,

Ben

The cruise was awesome as usual, kestrel74 was there, with a few other ET lurkers. We definitely had a good showing. Dave was there too.

haahaa! It's linked in my signature where it reads "www.youtube.com/shay2nak." I tried to change it to something else, but there's a damn cap on the length of the sigs to 6 lines and it won't let me use 6 lines.

Benjamin, congrats on the car! Looks great.

Put some miles on by coming to the Great Lakes Lotus driver's school at Grattan Raceway. School is full, but you'll see a bunch of Lotus fans and their cars on track. The Auto Europe gang will be there too. . .

Benjamin · 10-04-2007, 11:24 AM

I will be there Jason! - looking forward to meeting everyone.

Ben

J. Salmon · 10-05-2007, 06:31 AM

Congrats! I am loving the stage 2, you will also.

Cheers!
