I'm finally in an Evora

[TdM]

Thanks to @woodyrvf750, who is a top gent, I am now the very proud owner of a 2013 white Sports Racer.

 

I've literally just arrived home and took a picture on the way at the services so apologies for the poor quality! It's a wonderful thing and I'm so happy. Off out to explore some familiar roads!

Congratulations mate, you're going to have many, many happy miles in that

 

[C8RKH]

Welcome. Lovely looking car bud.  Have fun.

[Snoopy1969]

Massive congrats, have fun (I am pretty sure you will.....)!!!!!!!!!!

[tim_marra]

Wow lovely. White ones are the best 

[Simon Bateman]

White is a great colour choice on the Evora.  Works really well as a contrast to all the black trim and roof.

[Bravo73]

Stormtrooper spec. Win. 

[TdM]

It sounds wonderful, louder than the launch edition I drove and gets a ton of attention. Been out in it all afternoon. Can't wait for the next go!

[woodyrvf750]

Wait till you get those winter tyres changed, it will be interesting to hear how it sharpens up the ride.

[Snoopy1969]

@TdM since MY 12 there is one cat less ......(canˋt remember if the exhaust itself was changed too....)

[Michael Doris]

Fantastic mate - the Evora is some car. Welcome aboard!

[TdM]

Thanks guys. I've been waving at every lotus I see. Hope to see some of you lot on the road

[trcm]

Excellent choice!

[cdco]

That's a nice looking car ... But then I'm probably biased towards white ones . Congrats.

[TdM]

I can now confirm several points

1. The windscreen wiper works (mostly)

2. 'bow waves' from other cars are like tsunami when you are in the Evora

3. You should not walk around the side of the car with the wiper going... I've never seen a wiper throw off so much water so violently!

You should try driving a 340R or Elise in the wet...Evora is totally luxury.

Congratulations and welcome

[Giveitfish]

You’ll love that car, it’s great!

[Gears]

Looks absolutely epic, great colour especially with black trim. Sounds like what would be my perfect spec! If you don't mind me asking, what did the car go for? I am trying to set my expectations as to what an early Sports Racer goes for and this would be an ideal "Data Point". I can appreciate you might not wish to share and that's OK.

Welcome to the Sports Racer club, they are wonderful cars.

Where in the country are you? I have an identical one. I’m in Lancashire. Had mine since Feb and loving it. 

[Bravo73]

Identical? Your’s seems to have grown a larger appendage at the rear... 😉

[Bozzie]

Aghhh yes, albeit besides the appendage identical 🤪

Hi Bozzie, I'm in Berkshire so not exactly close! That is a very large appendage I have to say!

[trcm]

Love mine, wish I could get out in it more
