Gold FFM C8RKH Posted March 31, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 My 2010 Ardent Red Evora 2+0 NA will be appearing on a dealers stocklist in the next week or two. She is a one off, with the sports premium interior and all the bits and bobs you'd ever want including, something even the GT430 does not have, a working DAB aerial and radio! Just took her out this morning for the first time this year. She started bang on the button, first time. Fell in love with her all over again. She really is a special car to me and I do hope someone from the Lotus fraternity picks her up and looks after her. She had a Quartz Ceramic coat last summer with a 2 year guarantee so she looks good for her age. Tears streaming down my face just now.... Not sure what I've done.

Gold FFM C8RKH Posted March 31, 2018 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Barry - if you ever get off that fence to buy an Evora then trust me, my Scarlett is the one for you. The deal has been done and she is gone (almost, i am delivering her next week). My next car, and I can hardly believe I am saying this, has four silver circles and it looks like I pick her up next Friday, all being well! 1 1 Quote I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood.

Registered Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) I bet the 4 silver circles refer to the alloy wheels (black wheel with silver edge) on the GT 430/410 ..... Has to be GT410.... Edited March 31, 2018 by Registered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manifold is an expensive job to take out so I expect not. The splitter is staying on the car but the dealer may well be willing to sell it separately as not everyone will want it when they buy the car. I don't have the chance to take the splitter off in advance I'm afraid. Quote I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood. I'll probably leave it in the same way.

internets Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 So either @C8RKH has sold his bottom to the devil and also brought himself the latest iPhone / iPad etc, but surely not after years of Audi bashing, or he has just secured another Lotus, maybe a stunning red GT410 sport..... I will not be a bit jealous if that is the case Still it’s not the first time a forum member has bashed a certain German brand before selling up his Lotus after many years and buying several of the certain German brand Either way I look forward to the pictures ... or remember it never happened Any clues to where your lovely red +0 has ended up or do we wait with baited breath for the Evora price watch thread / PH ad?

Gold FFM Popular Post C8RKH Posted March 31, 2018 Author Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 As some of you will have read, my current Lotus journey is almost at an end as my beloved Scarlet, pics below, is off to new pastures. My heart is in pieces. However, if all goes to plan I will be in a brand spanking new Lotus on Friday! Yeah............... (Did some of you really think I would buy an Oooodie? Come on now....) Even better, the missus is away for the weekend with her girlfriends, so, I have all weekend to explore the delights of my new car, without ANY distractions, in a lovely new part of the country whose roads I can get to know. I'll be several hundred miles from home and so the excuse is there to book myself into a couple of nice country house hotels for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights - start the days with a good english breakfast, and finish them with a nice bottle of claret and a good steak. Hopefully, a nice big super kingsize bed all to myself each night in a lovely hall or mansion. I'll leave the Spa's and the gyms to whom they belong. The women. So, oh der, that just leaves me with a few days to fill. I guess I just need to get out and drive that damn new car - wherever "I" want to, to get to know her well and explore any curve and crevice - ooo-errr. By jove, it may need to be booked in for it's first service on Tuesday at this rate! Can someone please come along and give me a kick. Life right now, this minute, is good, I think I might be dead and in heaven. Or, at best, asleep in a wonderful dream (Kylie must be coming round next then...........). So the first picture of a piece of my new car is below. I hope you enjoy the share. I believe it is the only one that has been made and registered in its colour too. It's unique you may say. Well, I like it..... Yes, it has a stick shift as our 'Murican cousins would say. But does it have cup holders I hear you shout? Pah, who needs them anyway..... Enjoy the evening everyone. I'm cracking open a bottle of Bolly to celebrate..... More pictures to follow as I start th 2nd leg of my Lotus journey. 10 1 Quote I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood. I'll probably leave it in the same way.

Gold FFM C8RKH Posted March 31, 2018 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 It's not a GT410. I went in to see the red one at MMC/Leven and would have bought it without too much of a fight to be honest. But they said it was a demo car first and foremost, so that was that.
