Good job Adrian. I knew it would not last long.

Well guys - just wanted to share that I traded my 07 S in on the Chrome Orange 260 Sport. I only had a chance to drive her home. I am planning on giving her a good bath soon and stretching her legs.

So far there are a few interesting differences in the driving characteristics - seems more solid than my 07 S - can't quite figure that out but I read comments from others that seemed to get that impression from the 08's. I also think I can sense the weight difference. My 07 was an early pre-bumper S, so I didn't think it would be very noticable - but it seems to be.

I will give an update later on.

For now I want to openly thank Adrian Hill and those at St. Louis Motorsports for being professionals and handling everything terrificly. I couldn't have asked for a smoother transaction. Good guys who go the extra mile.

Here are some more gratuitus pictures at the pick up along side my former S. I trust St. Louis Motorsports will find a good home for her with someone who will take care of her as much as I did.

and I know I have been outspoken against the mustache - but I think I am going to keep her just as she is - mustache and all.

Yes ! Vishus_1 is indeed the new owner of the Chrome Orange 260 Sport, a very spoiled and well kept Lotus it will be !

Seriously though, John's trade is like brand new. It's one of the first ( if not actually the first US Exige-S ) namely, a 2007 Storm Titanium & black Exige-S ( a lighter Pre-USA -5 MPH Bumper model ! ) It's got the Touring package, Track pack , Traction Control and Starshield. He purchased the car new and it's never seen a drop of rain...Nope, just 2,182 dry and sunny adult driven miles.

This will be a great buy for someone on here. I'll post up an ad in the Exige classified section but it's up for grabs...call ,e-mail or P.M me for details !

^^^ Here it is yesterday when we traded the cars ,next to the new 2009 Exige 260 Sport ...Thanks to all for participating in this thread !
