How many Exiges are in Alberta? - LotusTalk

Hey there, was wondering how many Lotus Exige's there are in Alberta Canada and have you heard the news? A new race track is going to be built. Go to badlandsmotorsportresort.com for all the info. It looks like it's going to be amazing!

Hi Cooper, I've got a Phantom black ExigeS in Edmonton. What are you driving? Welcome aboard. I've been following the new track, hoping to get a condo there, but who knows. Time will tell.

Cooper Brown · 04-22-2009, 04:38 PM

I've got the '08 starlight black, I got it last Oct. I've had it out a few times now. Just broke the 1000k mark. I gotta say that this car is really intense!
I was looking at the Audi TT and S2000 but I think I made the right choice.
How long have you had yours and do you ever make it down here?

Sideoiler · 04-22-2009, 06:34 PM

I got mine spring 07 currently 14,700km and love every minute. Not down your way often, I usually get drawn towards the mountains. Where's half way? I'd like to see your new toy when mine gets out, just waiting on the sweepers.

Cooper Brown · 04-22-2009, 06:43 PM

Red Deer would be the mark unless one felt like going to Banff or Jasper.(Hmmm)
Have you seen any exige in Edmonton and area? I've seen three down here.

Sideoiler · 04-23-2009, 07:13 AM

I'm usually up for a trip through the Rockies. Drop me a PM when you can get away and we'll see if we can't meet up.

BigB · 04-28-2009, 08:54 PM

Let me know when you guys are heading through Red Deer, there are two Elises in Red Deer. Maybe we could get a few of us out for a drive?

Inrev · 04-28-2009, 09:05 PM

I saw one on craigslist or kijiji, it was gulf blue with orange stripes if I remember correctly. Absolutely stunning car. I'd jump on it if I could. Now that I try to look for it I can't find it anymore. Was in Edmonton or Calgary...

Cooper Brown · 04-29-2009, 06:35 PM

Mabe it's been sold. I got mine in Vancouver at Weissach.
Check out their web site. They have a very stunning looking "Jim Clark" edition. 1 of only 25 world wide and not to mention some other beauties too.
This weekend is driving/race school at race city speedway. I'm thrilled to be able to see what this car can do with out having one eye out for the cops.

No tickets yet but I was wondering if they can give you a ticket for getting to the posted speed limit in two seconds. How I love this car

BigB · 05-20-2009, 08:23 AM

Check out the Alberta Lotus Meet thread. Let me know if you are interested in meeting up later in June or early July for a meet and drive to Banff or something.

07 Elise owner here in Red Deer. Why dont you guys come to Red Deer and do some Autocross. Its great fun. Done 4 events won three 3rd in the other.

BigB · 05-22-2009, 08:38 AM

Where are the autocross events at? Let me know next time there is an event, at least i will come and watch.

bstarks · 05-25-2009, 09:13 AM

Well I did it. I put a down payment on the orange 240 at Weissach and I will be flying out there on the 11th of June to drive it home.

Cooper Brown · 06-05-2009, 08:06 PM

Wow, congrats on the purchase!

You will really enjoy that little demon. I had some dealings with Kai, he is a pretty good guy.

bstarks · 06-10-2009, 08:06 AM

Thanks Cooper. I pick it up tomorrow and get to drive it back through the mountains. My wife and i drove her SLK55 on highway 5 two years ago and it sounded awesome in the tunnels. I can't wait to hear how the 240 is going to sound.

So that's where the orange Exige went to. I was contemplating getting that one awhile ago when it was available, or waiting for the up and coming white Exige that was coming in,...but now sold as well. But then a thing called 'divorce' happened, and that threw a big kink into the system. Now I have to wait until next year to get one instead of this year.
But it looks like the orangey didnt go far though. I work in McMurray as well but live in both AB & BC. Interesting. Be cool to see ya rippin around the streets of the Mac.
Cheers and congrads.
