Yep - that was me. I take it you weren't in yours? I didn't notice one anyway...

how does this part come out?

This video might be useful. This guy also has quite a few more interesting Evora videos on his channel. -
Just to add, I had a water leak into the passenger footwell and it turned out to be a badly sealed windscreen. Run your hand down the fabric on the A pillar on the inside of the car. After a good downpour, mine was wet at the bottom near where the where the warm heater air blows out. Resealed the screen and problem solved.

Amazingly, I managed to find the Holy Grail and some Esso high octane stuff this afternoon. Can @Bibs PM me Rachel's contact info now please?

Last Thursday the petrol light came on in the Evora. I went to fill up as usual, but it seems the four horsemen of the apocalypse have emptied the local petrol stations. It's my daily driver, and peddling around on my bike is getting old fast. My question is, what happens if I fill up with normal petrol? I always used BP Ultimate, but I reckon I've got more chance of waking up next to Rachel Riley than finding some of the high octane stuff.

Evora time travel

So I guess its a case of TADTS. How that got through QC amazes me. The joys of Lotus ownership. -
Something that's niggled me for the last three years is my 2011 Evora S clock loses a few minutes a month from the dash clock. The Evora is quick, but I don't think I'm going quite fast enough to explain time loss through Einstein's special theory of relativity. Does anyone else have this issue?

My wife is 5' 6" 1/2 (she also always adds the 1/2 on 😉 ) and she can drive the S1 no probs. Seems to be quite a few tall Evora drivers here. I'm 6' 5", and although I have the seat fully back I fit just fine. Then again, I daily drove an Elise for 10 years so the Evora is like a F150 to me.

Also, feel the fabric bits on the inside of the windscreen at the bottom of the a pillars. I was getting wet carpets and it was working its way down behind the dash from a bad windscreen seal. I didn't notice that the fabric was getting wet for ages, and the car used to mist up something rotten in the winter. People must have thought I was getting frisky in there...

Well, I'm the owner of the other one so I guess I'm on the forum 🙂 I take the kids on bike rides past his house fairly often, so if I see him I'll have a chin wag and mention the forums.

Saw it on a drive on a new estate. That's two now in Moira. Common as muck!
