Ridiculously Excited

So I had a great track day in in Exige Sport 380 on Wednesday - see highlights vid if you have a spare 20 mins & are interested

but I was occasionally getting heat soak power loss, which could if it happened at the wrong time, be dangerous. I certainly don't want to be driving round it. Now admittedly it was very hot on Wednesday, but I'm really getting to grips with the car (as I hope the vid shows) and so it's not likely to be a one off occurrence.
The guy next to me in the paddock had a modified Exige with a much bigger supercharger that has charge cooling & he very kindly let me drive for a session - the mad fool. Very impressed.
Yesterday, I started looking into modifying my car, but got a shock at the cost so I decided just to buy a better "standard" Exige.
I only have the watermarked sales pics at the moment, but I pick this Sport 410 up next Friday.
It has a charge cooled supercharger, better brakes & better suspension than the 380. It a 2019 car with only 1,400 miles on the clock. The deal includes me keeping the track friendly exhaust, the harnesses & harness bar + the soft top from my 380.
Can't wait to get it & to try it on track - I've 2 days booked in August, but might have to do something in July.
