exeterjeep Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Added some lightness today - seat removed to fix the tilt release mechanism, lucky the wife does not want to go out in it with me....Took her out in it for the first time yesterday, she found the seat hard along the joins in the fabric. She can't complain now. Seat gone to professional trimmers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exeterjeep Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 Devon and Cornwall have a GT410 sport for shows - not for real police work. Not seen this before. Taken at the Devon County show today. Had a chat with the sergeant who drives it - this is an auto gearbox car - he did not like the auto much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure the comparison to the Esprit is all that fair, yes the Evora uses some more modern materials but it's also up against more modern safety standards and, let's face it, market dynamics that require more from it.

Gold FFM Popular Post Alfa2Evora Posted July 11 Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted July 11 My 'new look' for 2021. Thankfully after all the grief I went through (and the several threats to set it alight and walk away) battling with all the rusted-solid fixings, I think the final result was worth it. 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mik Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 I got out and checked the slip before I rolled the car back onto it. A couple of kids were playing in the water and asked if I was coming down in the car - they looked disappointed when I said that I wasn’t going all the way into the water…. I was hoping to emulate a pic I took about 12yrs ago at this spot with my wife’s Disco3 dipping a toe in the water - unfortunately the Loch level is a bit lower at the moment.

cdco Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 Listening to some Chris Harris podcast interviews tonight whilst in the garage doing fluids n stuff on the Evora and he mentioned his original internet video channel , Drivers Republic , I think it was Harris , Jethro Bovingdon and Dickie Meaden ... Back in 08/09 anyway after doing some YouTube hunting found these two from the start of the Evora days.. both interesting and I don't think I've seen them before on here , the best is the in car one with Dickie Meaden and Matt Becker talking Evora on Road testing (basically talking heads interview whilst driving round Hethel) and then the test track. And this one a chat with the design team Bit low Res but of their time as they say ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see one of the oldest around still looking so good. What mileage are you up to now? I'm still driving my 4th one. 50,000 .. not done much since lockdown started ... only 1,000 miles per year.. but thought I was off to the south of France again soon, they'll let me in but Johnson won't let me back without quarantine & costs. That's a 675 mile blast, with just refuelling stops .. effortless! 3 1 Quote Phil Leave me alone I know what I'm doing - I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lovely part of the world and some great driving roads too.
