After a two year wait. Itā€™s finally here.

300 miles in via Caffeine & Machine and Iā€™m loving it. I actually prefer the handling to my Exige. Speaking of which, someone please head over to B&C and give her a new home. She is a great car.

Absolutely stunning! I am obsessively looking at all these Nimbus pics and counting down the sleeps šŸ˜

Cheers.

An interesting observation is that the car is absolutely filthy after the terrible weather yesterday but it still looks good. Dirt seems to suit it!
 
Beautiful! Congratulations!

Keep both, get rid of a kid(ney) or something ;)

Would love to hear a little more detail on why you prefer the handling to the Exige, and please donā€™t be shy with photos thatā€™sa great spec. For some reason, not a lot of Nimbus shots out there with black wheels, and even fewer with yellow calipers + black wheels.

The steering feels lighter and easier to place with your fingertips without feeling artificial or assisted in any way. More precise. The Exige felt rawer and more primitive (in a really good way, I loved that car). Iā€™d also add that the stability and grip are phenomenal and Iā€™ve barely scratched the surface.

I've been leaning progressively harder on mine, just keeps gripping and will still tighten its line with more lock or a slight lift-off, so much more left to come....

I remember in Harry's video of his 2,500 mile trip in his car, commenting while driving in damp conditions and weather through tight, descending twisties, him saying "Where does it find the traction?". Considering the stable of cars he has and has driven, the fact that the Emira's abilities surprised even him was I thought, quite a statement. I can't wait to get mine and see what it can do in the Rocky mountains of the Pacific Northwest here in the U.S.
