PaulCP Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Jon, there are 2-3 Evora haters (always want to convince you that the clutch will fail after 3k miles and the gearbox will explode soon thereafter😄😄). The rest is just friendly banter👍& there a few who have moved on to Evora or Exige Yes, had my VX for almost 14 years, & still wish I had it at times, but know that moving to the Evora was the right thing to do for me. Perhaps I should have kept the VX as well 🙄 & I understand your point about the willy wavers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Popular Post C8RKH Posted April 7, 2018 Author Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Yes @PaulCP you should have! Mr @hedgerley I was tempted by the Esprit V8 at Strattons. Yours is just stunning, that black with black is just too Audi for me. I'm saving up for two cars. Either an Esprit HC Turbo or V8, and a Westfield copy of the 11. With those cars (and my VX) I am sorted lol. The only other car I coukd think about adding woukd be a Lotus Formula ford type racer. Who knows. I have a lottery ticket for tonight! Ooops. Who has been a naughty boy again.. 1 1 1 Quote I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood. I'll probably leave it in the same way.

hedgerley Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 @C8RKH I have a cunning plan. When my numbers come up tonight I will be buying the Stratton Esprit - and swapping the interior with mine! Hey presto, mint Esprit with my gorgeous magnolia interior. Then donate my old one, now with a mint black interior, to some deserving cause.....someone who likes Audis maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM C8RKH Posted April 7, 2018 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Better get it advertised on the playground then. They love Audis and Porsches on thete. Can't stop talking about them.. Quote I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood. I'll probably leave it in the same way.

auRouge Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Congratulations @C8RKH... that's a lovely looking car. Can't remember which thread from years ago I said it in.. but the 410 is my perfect spec Evora. After the S1 SR S I felt is all Lotus needed to do was make it about 400bhp and add lots of Carbon and Alcantara to do justice. The Evora is now a perfect car in my eyes, not overly complicated like so many cars are today but not too simple either by the use of exotic materials and a properly honed in drivers set up. Dont wash it too much... you'll wash off all that newness!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM C8RKH Posted April 10, 2018 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 I am. Thank you.
