DJW Posted May 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Funnily enough nicked the missus’s SLK for 2 different trips around highlands a few years back. Great cars and tempted to pick up a diesel version for circa £17k as daily driver 1 Quote Previously owned :Exige 380, Exige 350, Evora 400, Exige V6S, Esprit GT3, 2-11 SC, Evora S, Elite 501 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't knock the Ford transit key when all these high end motors with keyless entry are getting stolen at will. I'll keep the key thanks . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJW Posted May 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Speaking to BMW re a potential new daily driver I asked re keyless entry issue at the moment re thefts. They have now changed key fob so it powers off if it senses no movement for a period of time. Seems a simple fix.

They can still wait for you to get out of your car and prevent it from locking while you go wherever you are going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJW Posted May 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 They can wait with a knife. I feel comfortable it’s at least a step in the right direction . That said I would prefer old school keys to prevent predicament we find ourselves in.

USAndretti42 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Read an articles about Gordon Murray talking about his new supercar in which he said was going to benchmark the ride/handling compromise on the Alpine. Before it came out, the Evora was his standard to aim at, he said.

He also thinks the new A110 is big.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au-yt Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 Sadly the A110 is now not sold in Australia, as some numpty bureaucrat enforced the side impact intrusion bar regulation as of NOV 2021, 3 years ahead of Europe, and we only got 89 cars across all models. As such the asking price second hand is now way over the retail price 😡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
