Cheers dave. I have the receipts here. Let's put it this way, that pro alloy intercooler was 700 
I have the original cooler in a box with original splitter and spoiler sides but since I have got home I don't want to swap it back now. I'll just keep them all should I ever sell. Can't see it happening tbh. Fallen in love

Fickle fellow - what happened to the 'automotive love affair'? 
Musing on Power to Weight ratios.
Same bhp as your first love S2000 but some 200kgs lighter? Would be a close call between your current flame and MB's stripped and drilled track car. Not sure what each will be putting on the road but the Exige will piss all over any S for handling and grip for sure.

i've only had the M3 for 2 years 
but it'll replace that. I will keep my S forever because
1. It's worth f all
2. It's by far the best car i have ever owned
3. Over 12 years we've grown nearly as close as Col and Uncle Jimmy
4. The S can piss the DD gig, it did that for me for years until sproggo arrived
5. The missus just bought another Golf so Sproggo is sorted

(still, by then you will have a wedge from a long contract as an MGB* freelance
)*No not a retro brit car, slang for money grubbing bastard

you bugger.
I nearly traded my S when 9 months old for a scandal green Exige... kind of wish I had now.
When I had my S1, all i really wanted was the scandal green Sport160, but funds would not stretch...
now all I want is right there in the pic.
top car that.

Awesome! Always wanted an Exige and test drove one before I got my second S. Decided against it in the end as I wanted a "one car for everything job" which the S was for me. but as time goes on I can see myself looking at these again, just too cool and an itch I need to scratch at some point! well done.
