Gold FFM jep Posted November 25, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 You gotta drive them first. I fell in love with Evora in 09 when I test drove one at Bell and Colvill. Mind you, it took 9 years before I bought one. I like to build up the anticipation. G Esprit is special. Personally, I don't like the gearbox on the X180 Esprit but I have a problem with any car that has a gear change not to my liking. It don't mean I'm right.

Popular Post ChrisJ Posted November 26, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Dan - I've added you to our monthly meeting PM list. I'm hopeful that we will have a breakfast meeting in December - either 13th or 20th. There will be a post next week about it if there is going to be one. Meeting will be Hertford/Welwyn way. There's normally a few Esprits present and the occasional Evora. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
