  1. I do use the cigarette lighter socket in my Evora..... For a USB adapter to charge my phone. hahaha. Oh, and also a tyre pump.
  2. Just buy a new Emira..... If you can afford to wait for one.
  3. Are the USB ports mis-labelled?
  4. Wouldn't want you to blow any sensitive electrics, but can you connect a good battery in another car with jump leads? Is this a good idea or a bad idea?
  5. My uncle had a Morris 8. When we used to holiday with them, he would fit 8 people in his Morris 8!!! The driver (my uncle) had his own seat, three adults on the back seat. The front passenger seat was removed and a wooden bench put in place aligned front to back and us four kids would sit straddled on it like a motorbike. Happy times.
  6. Maybe I will be able to afford one of those in the future when I need to change my car, in the meantime I will continue to get cross at the rubbish drivers. Although, for me it will be a matter of luck as to what is going through the auctions or in my local market area (The Evora was something special and a very different purchase in some ways.).
  7. Autonomous driving? Most cars these days must surely have cruise control but drivers can't be arsed to use it when on motorways and other "steady driving" roads. It's really annoying to get the car at 70mph, switch on cruise control for a steady cruise, then the car in front starts slowing down then speeding up for no reason at all.
  8. Just think how many they will build when the double shift kicks in! 🤣
  9. @jimichangabetter get your order in for an Emira now if you are wanting one of the last ICE Lotus
  10. I didn't know there was such a thing as electronic parking brake and when I bought my 2009 Volvo V70 from auction and got in it for the first time..... Wahhh! No handbrake! I drove it home with no handbrake before I had chance to read the manual. The Emira parking brake sounds very similar to the Volvo parking brake. I had loan of a Mercedes with Hill start assist for a period. I hated it and turned it off in the menu system. A friend told me that it also wears out the brake pads, I don't know if that is true.
  11. The pose, the positioning and the framing must be trying to tell a story but I can't work out what that is.
  12. The early Evora's are at the lower end of the price range. Maybe it's those owners who are feeling the pinch most with current economic situation. They are still great cars with beautiful lines and now they have become a modern classic, they are the most affordable. What's not to like?
  13. Looks like it has already knocked over 2 children but the police must have been involved and done the outlines.😁
  14. Had the luck of a sacrificed Tsunoda. Corrected for accuracy. 😜
  15. Another technique that seems to be designed to raise revenue is the alternating speed limits. The gantry shows 60 then the next one shows 50, then 60, then 50..... Definitely trying to catch people out. If I'm on a motorway then I just set cruise control. It's probably more fuel efficient than all that speeding up and slowing down.
  16. @BarrykearleyProbably right, and it's all down to one man. If only there was a way to get rid of him without risking nuclear armageddon.
  17. I'm all for innovation but I do think circumvented was the correct term. It's a specification that is there at the time of testing but not adhered at the time of racing. Hat's off to them for being clever. Yes, I know that all teams will look for a winning edge and interpretation and that it is down to the rule makers to tighten up those rules when they are being circumvented.
