Popular Post Celica Posted December 30, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Hello from Bristol, don’t see many Lotus around the South West. Been on here for a bit, reading up. I picked up the Evora from a great gentleman he kindly met me after his Goodwood Trip in the summer. Agreed a deal and went to pick it up from near Colchester. M25 traffic was pretty much bumper to bumper, but the NA was fabulous on mpg back to Bristol lol. First time Lotus owner having always looked from the outside thinking each one looks amazing. Managed to persuade the other half as it’s a 2+2 so could do a school run if required! A car enthusiast and it’s already becoming more of a garage queen. Pictures to follow Edited December 30, 2021 by Celica 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celica Posted December 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Pick up photo after a long train journey Almost 37mpg on 169 miles journey back. Great way to get to know a car. I forgot how big the sills are and the doors. When I stopped off at a busy service station I had to move as didn’t have enough space to get out lol 3 minutes ago, Bibs said: It's a lot more fun when the MPG is rubbish The NA is a pure joy for that, being progressive. Having got rid of the Audi TTS which was 🥱 Although I loved the JDM Honda Integra DC5 I had for years, the k20 just sings; but the v6 is on song earlier 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM jep Posted December 30, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Congratulations. A picture of three wise illuminated red icons would be welcomed, they pop up around 6500 onwards. Evora NA is probably the best Evora in the world (copyright Carlsberg, almost). Justin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celica Posted December 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Previous owner had the JPS decal on the side. I quite liked it but thought it was too big on its own so I’ve just kept it with the lettering and peeled off the decal around the lettering . Still undecided whether to take it off.

Celica Posted December 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 I like it as it has the illusion of showing off the waist line more Who doesn’t like a snow foam, although I’m usually happy with a hand pressure pump with Bilt Hamber which doesn’t foam much, but is a good pre wash stage for ease 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celica Posted December 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Mates E92 and FD2 Having had a DC5 Integra as my first Type R before, I have a real appreciation for them.

mayevora Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 @CelicaBristol boy here 👍😊 born and bred (the Red ⚽️ side 😜) Down in Devon now but the family are there. Up in Portishead next weekend. Had mine for over 3 years now and only seen 1 other on the road since. But that’s that part of ownership I like - the rarety and uniqueness. 1 Quote Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk - that will teach us to keep mouth shut!
