Hey Sapphireho, your Exige seems to be sitting a lot higher than the UK standard spec? Photo of my car below:

Could be. Do you have the track pack? I was thinking of lowering it, but I already scrape going up and down some driveways.

So yeah... in 2017 I packed up all my belongings and hitched a ride to FL to start up... 2 fucking weeks before hurricane Irma. I ended up heading back with less than I left with, and a lot or rebuilding. Did very well the following year an managed to get life back in order and buy my first home. (Previous renter.) It isn't normal weather but, the midwest has never been normal either.

I'm a painter, Non-commercial Helicopters, Planes, Class A Motorhomes, Coaches, Boats, Trains, Snowmobiles, Jet-skis and Dune Buggies... occasionally a bike or golf cart. So yeah moving to FL or AZ is ideal if I am following the money. CA is never going to happen. I'd rather go bankrupt than get rid of my RX-7's and follow their bullshit.

Create an imaginary band.
Sell badass, cheap Chinese t-shirts and stickers.
Profit!

Also, this just happened today south of us.
Yowzas! I hope you have flood insurance.

We're in a canyon but we've got a decent slope. It's also a seasonal creek, a glorified drainage channel, not a mf-ing river like you got.

No, it's the standard, was thinking about a lower setup but then I stopped using, it seemed like a waste...

I do recommend the Cat 2 lotus exhaust though,. It's great, really makes the engine sing.

I'm just thinking that your car's set-up seems closer to an Elise.

Mine has the track pack and LSD. Far from an Elise suspension.

It has the factory stage 2 exhaust.

it's funny to me how 20 years ago, most everyone needed screen savers to protect their CRT/plasma displays from burn-in. but few devices even back then had anything.

now we've got lcd, led, and oled that don't suffer any burn-in, but so many media players and tv software now have a screen savers that activate in less than 5 minutes with no activity...
