Tropica 51 Report post Posted July 26, 2016 Finally home after picking up my new (to me) Evora S - FANTASTIC Fairly mundane drive to Poole, then slow drive to Exeter but after that roads got better. Now back in Cornwall on real roads made for this car - think i'm going cancel the milkman so we will run out regularly! 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inkyfingers 88 1 Vehicles Report post Posted July 27, 2016 Love it, that's a proper Evora smile! I used mine for work today, and ended up giving an old lady a lift to a property and she absolutely loved the Evora (even though she could barely get back out of it)!

JAWS 357 Report post Posted July 27, 2016 Great work Steve. Welcome to an exclusive club. Did you manage to clean it en route? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tropica 51 Report post Posted July 27, 2016 No, I slinked into the village under the cover of darkness and washed it first thing in the morning - is this an indicator of things to come I wonder?? Jackie was very, very sad to see the Merc go as it was a great, but different, car, and has so far asked where the cup holders are, why does she have to get the keys out of her bag to a) open the car b)start the car and then plug her phone in!!!! (wot no bluetooth) I say who gives a ....... about that, see how it drives! She is coming round to my way of thinking though now shes been out in it herself Getting a price for having the Sport racer wrap and black badging - I think the colour will lend itself to that and it enhances the bodyshape in my opinion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neal H 701 1 Vehicles Report post Posted July 27, 2016 It does have bluetooth. Sports Racer wrap will look good, but I'd probably just do the sills and front splitter and leave the roof body colour. That blue is too nice a colour to cover too much of it up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially designed to discourage Ooodi, BMW and porker drivers from buying one as they will think there is nowhere for them to put their frappe choccomilk double vanilla slim chai drinks that they just cannae live without! Oh that and the fact that the Evora has indicators that work too! Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0. It's not for babies!
