    My pleasure, Mel.

    Honestly, just put some soft foam earplugs in. Makes a HUGE difference to background noise levels while still being able to hear voices/radar/horns, etc. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Howard-Leight-Laser-Lite-earplugs/dp/B06Y6B8YMD/ref=bmx_dp_dl1svivo_d_sccl_3_1/261-9719569-6951704?psc=1 Weigh pretty much nothing. I'd say Colin Chapman would approve!

    Yeah EVO Porsche bias probably put off a lot of potential Evora buyers in the past.
  6. EGTE
    It's not necessarily an exclusive choice. Evora can be BOTH, depending on model. If you have a Sport 410,GT410 Sport or GT430 , they are more sports car than GT, so an Emira (which is more GT than sports car) might make sense as well if you want a GT. If you have a 400 or GT410 (non-Sport) that can be both sports car and GT. The Emira is pointless in that case. Both are more practical (and special) than an A110 as well.
  7. EGTE
    Totally agree, plus the reduced power, more weight, more fussy displays, with no rear space, means Emira of zero interest to me.

    Lots of info here: https://www.lotustalk.com/search/545558/?q=xineering&o=relevance

    I believe the structure doesn't allow a Targa without compromising the rigidity of the car too much.
  10. EGTE
    Thanks for heads-up, but cannot make it, sadly.

    Found this link: might be useful. https://cardetailingplanet.com/cleaning-alcantara-steering-wheel/
  12. EGTE
    Could it be the steering spring?

    Have you checked the brake pads? Can't remember if the NA has a single slider for the pad, but if it does, this can allow the pad to rattle over certain bumps sometimes. Drove me nuts in my GT410 for a while, but some copper-slip and bedding in fixed it.

    I don't actually remember saying that they are.

    They won't do it in Gaza because Israel officially gave Gaza to the Palestinians. Did you watch the video? I think it explains very well that Hamas is the genocidal party here and Israel is defending itself after an attack by them. So yes it's like Russia, but as if they had picked a fight with the USA instead of Ukraine. Hamas=Russia.
  16. EGTE
    Okay watched those videos and read the article. The BBC one and the Al Jazeira pieces are about the West Bank. The Al Jazeira one is the demolition of an illegal house. There's no proof whatsoever of your assertion that Israelis are moving into Gaza. You might want to watch this:, starting at 3:00 to save time:
  17. EGTE
    That would make a nice change.
  18. EGTE
    Show me the evidence and don't attack my driving; that's totally uncalled for.
  19. EGTE
    I haven't heard of a single Israeli settlement in Gaza since they gave it all to the Palestinians what 18 years ago? So I'd say it isn't happening as of yet.
  20. EGTE
    Is this actually going to happen, though? Quoting a radical organisation doesn't make it government policy.
  21. EGTE
    It's not flakey per se, but the amounts it covers are poor, e.g. £75/hour labour rate. Up to £250 for a catalytic converter?!?!?!
  22. EGTE
    The Hilton & Moss warranty is not terribly good, from experience. H & M are a nice company to deal with. If you like the IPS, go for it. However it's rarity implies a lack of future buyers come re-sale?
  23. EGTE
    Did you buy it from a dealer, or privately? If the former, they should be fixing these issues free of charge for the first 6 months (Consumer Rights Act 2015). Assuming you're fixing the car because you bought privately, I'd get the car to a Lotus specialist. It honestly doesn't sound too bad to me; just a speed sensor on the way out on the gearbox, or something.
  24. EGTE
    Just give it time; the looks will grow on you the more you enjoy driving it. I mean, if people can buy modern BMWs (iX, for instance - OMG), your problems are minor
  25. EGTE
    Horse for course, but I'm just saying it's not laziness or desperation.
