Never been in a Exige but the owner of a bar I frequent has a Elise and it's like a go kart on a roller coaster.

@loudog2 did you go to Rush Detailing's BBQ today?

No, I didn't know about it. I see their shop all the time. I have a customer right next to them(personal trainer). Did you go? How was it? Is the owner or workers on here?

Sorry Gortex for jacking heh

I wanted to go real bad, I need a quote on some dings that need pulling. ( if you know someone shoot me a PM maybe 8-10 small dings and possibly one crease) No idea on how the turn-out was, I heard about it on NASIOC no idea where else they advertised. No idea if they are on here I can PM her and ask. Always nice to have pro's shooting advice.
