Hi @Crooky23 - I'm not usually a fan of "dark" cars but I do have to say yours looks lovely! Congratulations. Welcome. And I look forward to your updates on the car and some superb pictures of your car in the beautiful wilds of NZ!
Interestingly I am tentatively thinking that my next car purchase may well be a hand made in NZ car!
@C8RKHI have an idea what that may be!I made an enquiry a while back!

Yes it is-he also said he’d had a lotus before, I asked him which one and he said ‘the one with the scoop on the roof’🤣

Interesting comment from the Alpine owner, I often wondered what the post purchase owner ship is like, Let’s hope for Alpine’s sake it’s not common, I’m much more interested in owners experience than the selling magazine Jurno hype.
Yesterday my wife bought some people staying in our external studio Abnb, into the house and into the garage, which I’m not happy about, these people might be OK but it’s the friends they tell that I’m not fussed about. As the Evora is not the only toy in the garage.
However this person also asked about my 400 “is that a lambo?” Explaining what it is, is like many others said I’ve never heard of it, nice car was the next comment.
Apparently he bought it with 1500 miles on it and has since found out that the previous owner had also returned it because of lots of problems.So it looks like dealer has just sold it on without rectifying any of the issues! he’s replacing it with a Yaris !

Dropped my car off yesterday for some ppf work- as I parked up a chap in an alpine pulled up behind me-‘ I saw you drive past my house,thought it was a new lambo,I like that a lot!’ he’d followed me to stop and chat- how’s the alpine I asked?- load of shit it’s going back tomorrow had nothing but trouble with it🤣

Do you know when production ceases on the exige range out of interest?
-
I’m sure I’ve read somewhere exige production has ceased-Is this correct?
if so ,wow ! end of a pretty damn good era ....

That’s a load of bollocks about the roof being straight- it’s been set out incorrectly-,as long as you’re weathered and dry I’m sure it’ll get sorted by the boss.fingers crossed

You can get a form of qualification in a few weeks now which is just a joke - proper apprenticeships are long gone now as the older, proper trades either retire or ‘get out’leaving mainly chancers- still good trades about but few and far between now

Yeah, thats what hurt most. It meant alot to me and was willing to fork my own money to ensure it wasn't cat marked, eventually it went down as a cat B due to the damage to the tub.
I Had been toying with R8s, AMG GTR's, GT3s and maccas.. but they're all so heavy. As I'm lucky enough to have a daily I went for a 430 in pearl white as I do enjoy track life and do plan on some EU trips/tracks hopefully when covid simmers down.
Delivery date is February, with collection im March assuming all goes to plan. Went a bit overkill on the spec, but hoping it will turn out 👌
ill post updates/pictures when I get them.
Thank you! Went for a 430 in pearl white in the end!
Awesome- 👍

Aah maybe- tbh not really looked into it yet,yes maybe that’ll work I’ll have a look👍

Bit of a boring one- phone mounts?anyone found something decent? Don’t really want a stick on windscreen job if possible
cheers

Had a 350 which I loved - drove a 410 and my god they are miles apart - the urgency and pick up is relentless , totally different car- bought an evora🤣
-
When I first answered the survey I was on my first lotus- but now I’m on my second so the poll is now incorrect!

Give it a few months for them to settle in and you'll be amazed mate! Slightly different but I had laser a few years back and it was quite the revelation - your vision corrected new lenses will be very similar
Is it a case of once it’s done that’s it?or will your eyes still deteriorate and need doing again?

Wow that is long term ownership- car looks fantastic,done well to keep it through all that!!

I think you maybe correct,certainly looks like it- yes some man maths were indeed required but I lost one of my best mates recently to MND just came out of nowhere and less than 6 months later he died at 49-so it was a case of YOLO!

Guilty- weirdly I went to B&C to order an exige 430 cup but thought while I was there I would try an Evora as had never driven one - so jamie lent me a 410 for an an hour and loved it!- changed my mind and a deal was done on the epic looking GT430!

Dunno chap - ive been painting my lads room all day, in between shifting cars and stuff - have done some work in there to rejig things and had it all replastered. Just need some skirting and new carpets now.

watching your progress on the Jps with interest @LOTUSMAN33
Maybe don’t bother with skirting- can look a bit sh&t with the beams set back
