  1. hmmm - I do not think that my car has the same issue to that extent - but the basic description "loose piece of metal vibrating at low RPM" might fit. As said, with more kilometers the sound has been getting "clearer" - have you registered any changes up to now? Has the dealer other My12 Evora S that sound different?
  2. just a very short reply: 1200 km My 12 S (non ips)- no issues (the rattle / snir of the exhaust mentioned by Rob will - "from my ear" - change - I got the impression that the sound of the exkaust becomes "clearer" but even from the start I disliked the exhaust note on low rpm not that much than you, Rob (but maybe your car has a more annoying exhaust from the start?)
  3. All the Best from Germany - Happy Birthday!!!!!!!
  4. Welcome to TLF ! Very nice car! (In germany rare oppurtunity to see an esprit on the street.....but today I saw three at the Lotus service) -question concerning your photo stream- the red Evora S with black roof - was that the one they build for Dany Bahar? - I think it was advertised some months ago (before he "left" Lotus)
  5. The driver spotted by mayesprit has an unknown brother parking in the near of vienna, license plate from vienna (sorry for the crap iphone picture....)
  6. I was informed that I will be informed about the "official" suspension of the magazine and a refund in the "near future".
  7. I am happy today.... ........because while driving the Evora to work my wife and me passed an open 996 / yellow paint eating a yellow banana and trying e v e r y t h i ng to be first reaching the next - of course: red - traffic lights - and my wife comments: "Some things could not get worser..."............
  8. I have just been informed that I will not receive issue 6 because the magazine has been suspended - I have read the last 3 issues and in my opinion most of the stories were interesting esp. the car stuff also some nice photography (ok - too much self praise by the persons that left the company...) Maybe it would have been a better idea to change the style of it than stop it at all! So before it is taken from the Lotus homepage I am gonna read the interview with Roger Becker again.......(btw: why can´t he turn back now that Dany boy left the company?)
  9. hmmmmh: maybe there is a chance to install a topcase on the roof of the McLaren and fill it up with some guys........some days ago I realized that I have overread the article about Swizz in Lotus magazine (the one he is with the white Evora with mansory front bumper).....and I thought: N O W this comical thing...äääh "brilliant marketing idea"...is over!
  10. According to the story in Lotus magazine # 5 "50 faces behind the brand" I wonder if they are still selling this issue......(I think the online short version has changed a little bit....) and by the way: I am curious what the next issue of Lotus magazine will look like.....
  11. Aaaah - very interesting Homepage - looks like you are having a Great Time at Sea!
  12. Yip - understood, many thanks
  13. If it is not too late: 7. snoopy1969
  14. Dear Thomas, nice picture - "meeting sisters"...... is the sticker on the right car "Kieler Yacht Club"? Willi
  15. Hello to everybody! Last year I found out that there is o n e mid-engined car on the market that has a 2+2 option - just the right mix of practicability and sports car (please do not ask what I think of a F Mondial.....) and that also tick all the boxes I was looking for, great handling, stunning looks etc. Also that the car is not very widespread in Germany and is not categorized in one minute is a plus in my eyes - in Munich where I work I have seen more McLarens than Evoras, not to mention F 458 etc. So after the test drive in January I ordered the car the same day (fast decisions are good decisions) and finally - after getting used to start the day reading all the "nice" threads in GB, USA and Germany concerning the situation in Hethel - it was delivered 13 days ago, Evora S, frost blue, imperial leather. I am very very satisfied with her, not any issue so far. Of course living in a small town near Munich where the common car is a small or medium or large BMW.....I had to answer s o m e questions, one question that arrives every time: Why did you buy t h a t sort of car - simple answer: because I like the car the way it is and wife / daughter / dog can go with me! All the best to everybody! Willi (attached pics of delivery status)
  16. Very nice - best sentence:"I'd rather take the niche product together with its quirks, than the mass-market "perfection" that lost its sole somewhere on the ladder of success." - even a main reason for me to buy the Evora (now it is 13 days old - no problems and yes, it has a b i g soul) Nice idea to start using the new car on a holiday trip! (and far better than to start with parking garage hassle downtown like I did - but the Evora behaved very well...) Enjoy!
