this has just popped up at a dealer just into Cornwall - 2016 66 LOTUS EVORA 3.5 V6 SPORT 410 COUPE AUTO

Seem to recall Fifth gear not being impressed when they tried a couple of rivals.

Lotus UK registrations for Sept - 188 ytd 1074. And somehow McLaren reg'd 77 in one month, their ytd 189.

Notice that the MG has started appearing at dealers. Vospers Plymouth have an event planned in a few days, and MG in Exeter have it in their showroom this weekend. Just seen on FB. May just have to pop in.

Can't remember one, but maybe the FIA thought that RB needed a gap to develop their car.

Don't ever let the truth get in the way of a good story, or even any attempt to increase circulation.

I have an MG ZS 180 up for renewal at the moment, it's with Footman James as a classic MG, and this year has doubled to about 250 for a car that does very little mileage, apart from a trip to the MOT station just down the road, goes out about once per fortnight taking her indoors down to her charity shop, plus a couple of car shows this year. Got another quote from Lancaster as a classic that was 350, don't think I will go for either of these, did a compare the market sort of quote and can get closer to 140 for a non classic low mileage policy, which would also earn a NCD over the up coming years. is your postcode particularly dangerous?

From Daily Telegraph/FB, A popular brand of electric vehicle sold in Australia has a hidden backdoor allowing the manufacturer to listen into conversations, users claim. After witnessing an explosive month showcasing the awful possibilities of technological warfare, the topic of electric vehicles and their potential to be hacked has once again been thrust into the global spotlight

Came belting up the fast lane towards Exeter, while we were waiting to cross at the Fingle Glen junction about 10 mins ago.... Had its rear wing/spoiler raised., so that's the second one out in the wild, think it was also a London 24 plate.

So @C8RKH if you suddenly posted that you had just acquired a very special Lotus then you might get an invite. eg anyone on here own an Elise GT1, doubt if they have that one covered.

On a couple of topics our leader had posted about wanting some particular cars for this event.

From an FB post today in M100owners, taken in around 1988. They said they had taken one pic and were ushered away...
