When I used to have an Exige, I used to drive it every day for the reasons you said and that it was an excellent car... However I found the more I drove it, the less "special" it felt, it just because the normal, run to work, run back, sit in some traffic etc...

...I ended up getting a diesel Xantia (needed to tow and it was £400), which I still have and drive to the station, normally sat in traffic ;) But then when you get back into a "special" car it\'s sooo much better! Gives you that buzz again like when you first got it :D

And there nothing like practising lines in something wallowing and slow to then have them spot on for a bit (a lot!) more speed and power!

Just my .2p

i agree just a car at the end of the day. no point breaking your back trying to keep her. i sold mine the other week and although regretted it a tad, the money in my pocket certainly cheered me up and also help finance my supra :D

so Supra is just another car A!  I don\'t think so!!!!:spank :spank hardly a NOVA! or Escort is it!

its not that i dont find it special or boring amymore i just cant afford it or afford to have 2 cars even a ratter to knock around in plus ive got a problem where as i can no longer fly to go on holidays abroad (barefoot waterskiing accident) so therefore id like a car which i can gladly jump in an tour france/spain wherever without it costing the small fortune the rex would ! im kind of im a no win situation lol  ive owned 36 differant cars in 10 years and ive gotta say this is the most painfull ever cause i love it to bits and the attension it get and know that whatever route i go down next nothing will have the WOW factor of it !!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I know what you mean... I can see it, but just I\'ve started to "run" a second car, I\'ve spent about £200 on the Xantia over about 3 years so can\'t complain ;)

But I hear what you\'re saying, I\'d love to head to the south of France in the FD but it would cost a fortune! Party why I\'m tempted by a smart Roadster... A bit ghay maybe, but 80 bhp is enough to rag the hell out of it and still keep you license! And the 50 odd mpg appeals as well :D

Don\'t do it!

I\'ve just got myself a £600 BMW 318i to do the daily drive and stuff.  I\'m now driving the Rex about two or three times a week and it amazes me everytime I drive it. I\'m saving at least £100 a month in fuel.  I\'d only ever sell it if I owned atleast two other rexs, one brand spanking one and one stripped out racer.  

This is a religion dude, have faith!

d-king

but still missing the point lol i cant afford two cars , tax insurance ,fuel,mot and everything else like repairs an then what if the rex goes wrong ???? not saying it would but then what happens ??? im afraid its just to big of a risk in my financial situation at the minute ! long term plan is to buy a cheap rex an slap it in the garage and build the weapon of choice :0)

when I first started seeing the Mrs she kept on at me about my Ducati, It only comes out in the summer and I met her just after the summer ended so for the first six months it sat under a cover in the garage, she couldnt understand why I kept something that lived in th garage 9 months of the year.
First Sunny day I put the rear pegs and seat back on and took her out on it.
Now she understands lol
Were currently on the lookout for a nice FD and when we find one we both like, that will be like the Ducati, something to be enjoyed on sunny days.
I appreciate that not everyone is in the position to do the same as us and I  know how hard it is to give up something that you have fallen in love with.
Good luck with the sale of the car D-King
