I really like T5 especially the Gold lounge. I usually only travel with hand luggage so luggage is no issue.
-
I struggled to get an hotel so I will now be in Windsor unfortunately.

That's a bit suspiciously low for a franchise dealer.
Same prices as Sheffield dealer.
-
I'd leave them where are if they are causing no problems. Interesting to watch them coming and going.

Not the case in the UK. London dealer prices below
911 service prices are the same.
And these are every two years too!

I've almost been hung drawn and quartered when I've suggested the Evora is a better drive than the AM V8V. Don't get me wrong I think it's a beautiful car, in fact probably one of THE best looking cars ever. I've heard stories about poor build quality from a few owners but all the ones I tried seemed very well put together. They sound sublime but even my wife said the Evora was more fun to drive.
Perhaps if I'd never had a Lotus I wouldn't feel like this.
It's a similar thing with the current Cayman / Boxster. They are faultless, they drive fantastic, are practical and well built but I just cannot get excited about them.

I may be down Weds evening.

I ordered the black badges for mine from JCT. They were on back order (like everything else) until recently. I removed the old ones with dental floss after making a template of where to fit them but JCT fitted them while the car was being serviced.
I had requested new rear lights with black bezels when they were changed under warranty (chrome peeled) but I felt it looked odd with only the bezels in black and everything else in chrome. It looks much better now with black letters, and I've also blacked around the reversing light and fog light with wide black tape. I was going to remove and Plastidip them but it's a rear bumper off job to get them out.
My previous Evora badge lost its A while cleaning, I need to be more careful with this one.

I've been told the same by several people but when I changed to "parked off-road" from "garaged" the cost went up on the comparison sites.
Presumably it wouldn't be insured if you moved it from its safety of being on the drive into a locked, alarmed garage.

For awhile now I've been mildly irritated by what I assumed was merely a perception that whenever I plug in any USB cable to any charger, it ends up the wrong way 'round, I need to flip it over, and plug it in again. And since not every charger is clearly labeled (or labeled at all) as to which way is "North," looking at which side of the plug has the USB logo doesn't necessarily help. So I counted 100 attempts. 83% of the time they were wrong. How can this be? It should be a 50/50 outcome.
Goblins? Voodoo? Coffee deficit? What's the deal?
I have exactly the same issue.

I've seen three in the UK.

An Oyster interior has black rear seats, so you would have been fine.
The issue I have with the 2+0 is that the cargo net actually restricts the size of items you can fit in there, where as the 2+2 doesn't and you can move the front seats forward for even larger items and use the seat belts to secure things.
Yep, I've done that. When we came to Brands last year I packed the rear the pushed the seats back to compact it all.
-
The base is stuck in with velcro, comes out easily
Never taken mine out, what does that leave? Do you have a flat shelf when the seat is removed?
I may take it out for all the camping gear for Brands.

Usual NYLOC meeting on 24th.

Isle of Man is great, get on the mountain roads and enjoy. Scotland is brilliant too, either would be a great choice. Look at the tourist sites for things you may want to see.
-
It's stuck on, same on the Evora.

I've always had Panasonic but I put a relatively cheap LG tv in the games room and I'm very impressed by the picture.

Nice, I pop over to Dubai a fair bit, hope to see it one day.

Take them at different times of day. Sit down for five minutes beforehand and take it in both arms.

Thanks for the replies I am not going on tablets. . I have to look at my diet. Scary if you think about it....Thanks John and Rodger. MIke.
If your chloresterol is 9 (assuming it was a fasting sample and not just a random one) then I'm afraid changing your diet is exceedingly unlikely to lower it sufficiently. I had to fight to get on statins many years ago with a level much lower than that.
Did they do repeated BP measurements with several minutes inbetween? It may be worth buying a machine (they're not expensive) or borrow one and take readings over a week at different times of day.
As I say above my chloresterol was raised and I had to pursued my GP to put me on statins. Around two years who my BP was found to be slightly raised at my GPs and she wanted to put me on medication. I said I'd discuss it with one of my friends which I did (I work in cardiology). My friend the cardiologist got one of the girls to do an ultrasound on my heart between cases. It was found I had border line LVH (thickened walls) so he gave me a note telling my GP what to prescribe. Lowering my BP has reversed the thickening and my heart is normal again.
Bottom line is, the tablets do their job. I see loads of guys who are now in their mid forties and have very sick hearts who now wish they'd agreed to tablets they were recommended ten years ago.

I did feel she was right tbh.
Disagree strongly with the comment above "you get the odd good copper". I think the vast majority of Police officers do a very difficult job to the best of their ability with the resources they have. You are always going to get bad apples. The problem is the public and press have very short memories for the positive things they hear but long memories for the bad things.
It makes me very sad and a little worried that people have so little respect for the Police. Plebgate, the Hillsbrough cover up etc have done nothing to improve this.
-
Already have.
-
All the prices you are quoting are extremely reasonable for a big service on a budget supercar.
A Boxster/Cayman would be twice as much.
That Toyota engine and 'box combination in a Lotus really pays off when it comes to servicing.
And reliability!
Boxster / Cayman servicing is only every other year so costs are similar.

The handbrake doesn't seem very good on any I've driven. You seem to have to pull it slightly higher than you expect. TBH I always leave mine in gear too.
Gone deaf.

Sticking ones head under a hot bath often helps, is your balance OK?
