  1. Yes just read that - they are excited it by it it would seem and make a good point that the i4 engine will deliver an Emira with a personality of its own.
  2. Overall seems really really positive, waiting for carfections and, dare I say it, Schmee150! It would be the touring setup for me.
  3. Bought a cheeky ticket for that ‘72 Elan as well!! I now have everything crossed!
  4. If there are no children involved and amicable like you say it should be reasonably straight forward - you do have choices as to what you 'go for' when it comes to seeking income from the others pension pot. Unfortunately when I divorced, I couldn't afford a solicitor myself, and there were children involved, so suffice to say the split went 70 / 30 and my child maintenance is a monthly astronomical amount on top of that. We were reasonably amicable but it was clear she went for what she was 'entitled' to from the advice she received, however did stop short on the pension. I'm glad the laws have changed around the accountability, as I got stitched up there as well! @Barrykearley - I hope everything gets sorted as soon as possible for you. It's a stressful and unsettling thing to go through especially with how difficult your ex is being. Echoing above comments - stay calm and strong and follow the legal advice.
  5. Good point, but of the red and yellow press cars, I hope it is one of each.
  6. Really?? Did a lot of Carfection stuff before Henry Catchole came to the channel. He's a bug Lotus fan too!
  7. 100% loving the silver wheels @Greyvora, much prefer them to the gloss blacks so many have.
  8. I'm not surprised - it looks like quite a big stutter! Assuming you bought the car from B&C as well, I would expect them to be looking at this properly and not deferring to 'computer says no' however it is good that they acknowledge the problem. That simply means the error is transient enough to not register a fault code which would suggest a failing component - perhaps the MAF sensor or the Lambda sensors.
  9. That doesn't sound right, I would persist with B&C - presumably they can reproduce the issue themselves and/or you have demoed it to them? Its definitely not right from that video you have uploaded. Like suggestions above I would be looking at air feed, spark, fuel and perhaps the cat. Maybe get someone else to drive by and you stand behind and see if you get some rotten egg... A cheap idea maybe to use a fuel system cleaner like Red Ex - they do a '3000 mile clean' one as well as the regular one. Do you get the stutter at all when revving in neutral?
  10. I need to re-attach my door pull trim and was wondering if anyone can recommend an adhesive to use?
  11. I had the same on mine just over a year ago, turns out both sensors had essentially failed! I would recommend changing them both 🙂
  12. That blue one is very nice, it does make me want another Evora again that’s for sure! Unfort I can’t get the man maths anywhere near making it work! Plus it would mean loosing the Elise and I don’t want to!
  13. A very well executed piece of work. I particularly like the wheels and reprofiled front bumper - very effective.
  14. You'll have to go over to the introductions section and say hello - with pictures of course! 😉

    I reckon that drive will get his mojo back for him for this season, he's seemed pretty down this season so far. I hope we get to see Merc get competitive for the rest of the season and create a three way fight. From what I've read, the Ferrari is a difficult car to drive this year, despite its speed and Sainz is struggling with that so I hope they can try and make that easier as Sainz is a great driver and great sportsman.
  16. Amazing - would be interesting to know what the suspension / geo differences in detail
  17. Think this one was for sale a little while back - I remember the sticker on the rear spoiler. Comes down to what service history it does have and perhaps the state of its clutch...
  18. I agree the lower end of the market wont drop much, if at all - but these 400s at over £60k aren't going to hold there and that will bring the 400s in general down a notch or two in value. 'Tumble' may have sounded extreme but it wasn't meant that way, really I'm thinking > £45k & < £60k for the 400 with the S1 being under that. If we assume the cars currently advertised are genuinely still available - most have been around a while and they aren't selling; IMO they are just overpriced and being overlooked as a result. The ones coming on with sensible price tags are being snapped up!
  19. As soon as the base Emira comes out, I would suspect Evora prices will have to tumble, no ones going to want to pay on or near Emira money for an Evora with perhaps only the special ones (GT430) making some exceptions.
  20. I would think it might be similar to Lexus' dark rose which photos quite red but in reality its a nice shade.
  21. I'm liking that - even without the doors the easy entry system!

    F1NAL

    Wow that's a colour!
  23. I do think people are interested in these cars but honesty the ones staying on the market are all over priced and are putting buyers off, especially those S1s at Hendys.
