Awesome Exige, I've seen a few and want one as a toy (if only I had the money). I love the color, I think it suits the car great, no matter what Dani says . Cant wait to see the new Exige when you get it. Do you have an expected shipping date yet?

The new Exige is to be build in sometime in Februari. Will arrive at the dealership in March.

A nice pair of Exiges you've got there. They really have a lot of oomph. 8)

Hm don't think it's a great car for every day use, especially considering the height of those steps before you get into the car. It's a great car ofcourse, but not for every day use IMO. It's just not ergonomic enough for that.
Lovely pictures Nico, when will you be visiting Nijmegen (doesn't matter if it's the one you have now, or the new one, both cool cars )

But ok it helps when your 1,78m

I'm sorry but I pretty much doubt that! The car may be a great drive, people who go to work etc won't use it everyday since you'll have a slight problem getting in, no matter your size! The steps are just really high

It can b done. I know some who use the Exige as a daily driver. The only thing you have to do is to change rubber to more all weather ones. It's fairly easy to live with and when you know how to get in or out it's no problem. Some consderation though:
Don't wear suits and if you're female don't wear tight or short skirts (OTOH please do )
Find the right parking spot. If someone parks to close to you (what is usual in a city) no way getting in.

True about the suits and the tight skirts

My new car arrived at the dealer last week. Needs some pre-delivery work done (rear chasis brace, exhaust, ECU, Injectors, Accusump, 4 point harnass as well as a ProTech polish job). Hopefully the car wil be ready in week#19.
Here are some pics just after it had been delivered:
More and better pictures to follow, when I have taken delivery (as well as the required shots)
