test run on our closed road procedures
Sunday, February 7th, 2010Hills drive
Sunday, January 3rd, 2010Fantastic weather and clearish roads made for a great run today.
Photos taken by Patrick on our Lotus drive today.
The Exige has now done 14000km in the first year. I love this car. I have some Smartycam video but the Adelaide hills are so bogged with traffic at the moment it doesn’t seem worth uploading.
Early Morning Run
Monday, December 21st, 2009Went for a nice driver with some of the Lotus guys. The new mount on the smartycam is good but the sound still has some digital noise on it. The Exige just gets better and better.
BMW 130i
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009BMW purchasing in Adelaide
What is it about Adelaide car dealers? Buying our new BMW 130i was so hard. After months of no information, non returned call and emails we finally got our car. The specification was right and most was good but they ignored my emails and calls regarding just mounting its temporary number plates with tape. They just banged them on with self tapping screws into the bodywork. I really hate that. In keeping with their standard level of care and concern they havent even replied to my email complaint.
Since then I have made contact through 1addicts to other people purchasing through them at the moment and they are getting similar results. Many are considering buying interstate based on our experience.
heres the thread on our purchase
My purchase of the Exige through Rick Damelians in Sydney was the exact opposite. They are a truly classy outfit. I dare say they will have their moments, but my experience and the aftersales service were way beyond my expectations.
Exige arrived safely in NZ
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009Roger Philips has our car safely out of customs, approved by the NZ road licensing gods and ready to go. It’s even nice and clean after its sea voyage
