The girlfriend was out for a work lunch yesterday with work friends and I got the call to pick her up. Decided to take the Evora as it hadn't moved a wheel for two weeks..

Now, picture the scene when I arrived, three drunken nurses all needing a lift! Must say it looked like one of the Clown Car sketches as they all piled into what looks like a 2-seater from the outside, right in the town centre!

Admittedly it was a tight squeeze, but they were all too merry to care, and I was too happy knowing that speccing the '+2' has finally came in handy!

I saw the title and thought this was one of the April fools threads I'd missed but it's a few days late for that.

4 adults, wow they must be small nurses, I tried getting one small nurse in the back of an evora and she bonked her head so hard she vowed never to go near the back of one again! Shame!

Next time don't forget to take the camera

..or ask them to lay down behind the car in sight of the reversing camera, just so we an get an idea.

Keep up at the back there, I'm almost at 20,000 miles (32,000kms) and still enjoying every mile in the car, despite the niggles.

How is the build quality all holding up? What about the leather seats?

I still have the new car smell!

Simon anybody who has a bonk (of any sort) in the back of an Evora deserves a medal for dexterity and perserverence! :respect:

Justin this post was totally unfair and probably against Forum rules. You mentioned 2 words that had every warm blooded males 100% attention then didn`t deliver. Nurse and Drunken. Sorry, but I am with the others on this one. The no camera call was simply pathetic. Don`t tell me that a man like yourself didn`t have a phone with a camera on you at the time. Or one of the ladies and think of the fun finding it. Cum on man, buck up! (p.s. are you joining us on 17th?)

I did post about a year ago about my wife and her pal in the back of mine for a relatively short journey as well. Again some drink had been involved to help the squeezing in and then part way home in the journey the friend who to be fair is 5 foot eff all announced that "she could go a long way in the back" She was wondering why 3 of us were laughing and I was stopping to throw the wife & her husband out to get a taxi. :blush:
