Max baiting. Don't forget Bottas baiting. 😆

Did you get a long odds bet on Norris winning a GP?

[Evora market watch, for discussion and to help those searching!]

The Evora has ceased production so the pool of available cars is going to get no bigger. Those who have driven the car know how brilliant and beautiful it is. It has effectively achieved classic / cult status. I can only see prices going up depending on condition. The type 131 won't be released until 2022, I can only see demand for existing cars increasing. If you are thinking of buying an Evora I would suggest getting on board while you can.

Will the price take a dip when the 131 is released? Maybe, but not by much as I think the status has already been achieved. There will probably be a ceiling to the price as people will then start to look at other exotic cars but this car will surely have put that cachet to the name Lotus.

[Type 130 - Lotus Evija]

Absolutely real 👍

[Who will buy a 131?]

It would be nice, but my Evora only just fits down the drive, if the 131 is wider it won't fit.

If I win the lottery, I'll buy a house with a wider drive.

[Type 130 - Lotus Evija]

The clip was passed to me by someone who knows I like Lotus. I believe there may have been some sort of video production taking place. It was a serendipitous occasion.

Yes, there is equipment in the dash area that we have seen in earlier video clips.

The colour scheme is not my favourite.

Somewhat hypocritical.

[What's your speed?]

My home Internet connection is frustrating as 3 or 4 times per year the performance really drops off due to a fault in the cabinet or exchange.

When the current contract runs out I am thinking of changing to a 4G / 5G mifi router and doing away with the landline.

[What's your speed?]

Home Internet speed Fibre Plus £40 per month

Or, if I use a different remote desktop method to Works network.

The last method won't allow me to use Speedtest.net due to firewall restrictions.

Just had to re-read that and make sure you were talking about the car and not the mrs.

[German engineering - the best!]

Steady on Bling! You are even starting to sprachen German. 😄

Shame he couldn't have hung on a bit longer, he would have gotten his telegram from the Queen.

[Steering wheel very slightly off centre]

I have used the string method to adjust the tracking, not on the Lotus but on the Volvo, and if you do it correctly you can get it fairly accurate. Not laser accurate, but fairly accurate. Certainly good enough to put you on until it is done properly.

[Steering wheel very slightly off centre]

Hi Dave

As an alternative you could adjust the tracking by equal amounts on both sides until the steering wheel is lined up correctly. I'm not sure if that would be easier.

Cosmetic stuff, stereo, exhaust, gear change cables, bi-xenon headlights, close ratio gearbox as standard.

Some of the items may have been retro-fitted by owners of earlier cars.

Is electric really the answer? 😁

A square steering wheel?

25 miles in under 1 hour.

20 miles in 2 hours.

You need to up your game a bit or use some sneaky shortcuts to find that extra five miles. 😜

C4 F1 commentators:

Steve Jones - wacky

David Coulthard - knowledgable and informative - good

Mark Webber - ditto

Alex Jacques - irritating

Billy Monger - irritating

New trackside interviewer guy - irritating

Lee McKenzie - good

@Bruss Surely eating the kids is against the law.

[Formula One]

If Verstappen had declined to relinquish the place I don't think he would have gained a 5 second gap.

I find the new C4 commentators irritating. Coulthard, as ever, was knowledgable and informative, we didn't hear enough from him. Vettel was delusional. haha.

[Outside the f1 top 3, who will win a race this year]

Norris was a good 4th. Mclaren are looking like the third team behind RB and Merc at the moment.

[EVORA Floor mat fixings]

@Barrykearleyyou let your kids chomp the dog?

[Outside the f1 top 3, who will win a race this year]

If Hamilton or Bottas are indisposed Russell may get another chance to drive a better car. He was unlucky not to win last season.

[Outside the f1 top 3, who will win a race this year]

Norris?
