Hi,

Just picked up my 2006 Lotus Exige on Friday from member AXExige. I flew out to Long Island and drove it back. Despite the long drive, I still had a blast and enjoyed it! Thank you to Anthony for making it a great transaction and an enjoyable trip.

I am surprising my husband with the car soon when he returns home from a month-long business trip. I've wanted this car since I first saw one in 2006. He has always wanted a Caterham Super 7, which we recently decided didn't fit our needs. I think this will be the perfect car for what we want! I've previous driven a Miata, 240sx, 2.5RS, STi, and our current daily vehicles are a 2012 BMW 335i and 2012 MINI Cooper S.

Sorry about the cell phone pics- I will be sure to get some real ones soon!

That's awesome.... that you like this stuff (cars) & are a girl!!!! If we could all be so lucky

My wife on the other hand had to take my saab + kids to someones house last week (she has a wrangler unlimited). The entire time she complained about the clutch being stiff (performance clutch), shifter beinig to short (have a short shift kit), lack of room & the list went on.

Welcome!
Looks like the Scioto River along Riverside Drive in Dublin.

Haha yes, my husband knew what he was getting into far before we were married. I've had some form of "sports car" since I was 14 when my dad bought me my first project car. It will always be a part of my life in some way. Although I do really enjoy my 335i, it's a little too cushy sometimes. We test drove a ton of cars before we (well I) finally decided on this beauty.

04ESPIRIT- You're right. I live in Dublin too!

ajp240,
I thought so. That's one of the few places in town I HAVEN'T taken pictures with my Esprit, though I do have it on my list!
Well, maybe I'll see you around town some weekend morning.
Also, there's a local Cars and Coffee group that usually does a spring and fall cruise to Hocking Hills. Lot's of fun and worth doing, at least once!
Congrats on the Exige. Need more pictures!:clap:

I avoid most car events...I find them usually more irritating than fun. My friends and I are organizing a small cruise down to Hocking this weekend. It's much more fun by ourselves or with a small group. Less attention and easier to have fun.
