So why did you Needed for the whisky bottle to calm the nerves. You not green then? better when slouching due to going toooo slow! 🤣🤣

@C8RKH Ooops!! 😆

@C8RKH Smile bank is already at the FSCS compensation limit. 😂 @Barrykearley You didn't do that did you? (where in Worcs are you ?) M.

@C8RKH Great and comprehensive reply, thanks. Not looking to buy as already have mine. Was just wondering if I put miles on mine what it would do to depreciation. M.

Ooh! That sounds cheap? Does the mileage really make that much difference to price? What are the thoughts on higher mileage Evoras and what is the highest known so far? M.

Getting chilly so thought I'd better look after it 😀

@Bruss link above gives a starting point. On page 42.... Setting the BLUETOOTH Connection (BLUETOOTH IN) OFF: Select to ignore any external interrupts. HFP: Select when the optional BLUETOOTH INTERFACE (KCE-250BT) is connected and the BLUETOOTH Hands-Free Phone function is used. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual of KCE-250BT. HFP+AUDIO: Select when the optional BLUETOOTH INTERFACE (KCE-400BT) is connected and the BLUETOOTH Hands-Free Phone/ BLUETOOTH Audio function is used. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual of KCE-400BT. NAV.: Select when the optional portable navigation is connected. The TEL screen of the portable navigation is displayed. Follow link below and read on page 4 onwards. https://www.alpine.co.uk/fileadmin/user_upload/manuals//car_audio_manuals/KCE-250BT/OM_KCE-250BT_EN.pdf I always have issues with tech so afrraid can not be any further help. M.

re Android phone .... could not work it out but eventually found that I needed to remove some of the existing saved phones (think max was 5) then it paired no problem. HTH. M.

Hey well done, got there in the end. I'm sure you will find it a happy place to be. (I certainly have). Enjoy the driving and try not to grin too much! 😁 ☺️ 😃 M.

Point to note .... if it's more than £20k (usually, depending on bank) then may need to wait longer for security checks. I know from bitter experience!! ..paid in evening but had to wait til next day to get it sorted. Anyway assuming you do finally get the car the congratulations 😀 M.

Do you have a death wish?! M.

🤣 🤣 🤣

But which would have given you more bang for your buck and also made the best noise? 🤯

NP, did not believe that you would be wrong 😊 M.

What makes you say it is an 'S' ??? Owner seems to think it is NA ? M.

@C8RKH Personally, I'll take an Evora. Regardless of flavour. .... 2nd that 😅

@EGTE Yes saw that thanks. All points to PS4S for me at least. M.

As everone is thinking their car is the best for various reasons, and I have no objection to that, then I think I should plug my "new toy" too. Has everything, apart from new bumper style, ... looks, colour, power, nice interior ... need I go on? 😍 😍

@122 Sounds logical, best suggestion yet and one I had not thought of ... will try it out later in the week. @Bravo Yes was thinking I was not in right place for posting ... thanks for updating it. M.

Not that I saw.... apart from airbag light and passenger airbag off. Thought so but does not come up far; will try putting it on when going along to see if that does it. Thanks for the thoughts .. so I assume it is not something that everyone has at times? M.

Sorry about all the Q's but.... Going along and suddenly get 3 VERY loud beeps then again after a minute or two. Cannot see anything amiss? Later it will stop but perhaps come back again yet later. Cannot work out the trigger or where it comes from. Happens under speed limits (not that I wouold go over!!), in town, on motorway so not pinned down to what is the cause? Anyone have any idea what is causing them and how to turn them off?? Are they from the Pioneer audio unit / satnav ? M.

@gregs24 Thanks for the tip, I will try and check it out. Can't believe that about the fuel stop .... thought it would have given notice of failure and certainly be ok after a drive ... scary. @Bruss Was told that they are on 10/16 so maybe me just being a big girls blouse after the more 'normal' transport. @C8RKH PS4S it will be then once I change. Unless anyone knows of a significantly cheaper tyre that is just as good in all respects. Happy motoring, M.

@DBG Nitron 46 IIRC More harsh than standard but they are adjustable so not tried that yet. PS4-S tyres seem to be at top of most people's lists so will probably go for them next time unless I suddenly get track fever.😏 M.

Thanks Jonny, looks like I will be having lots of cups of tea then. If I ask @bosshog will he get upset? ... is there a story behind that one ? @gregs24 Thanks ... with such an obvious fault for many people one would have thought that Lotus could have come up with a fix by now!! I have a trickle charger on order. There was me thinking I could just get in and drive it . apppears lots of little things to learn. On that subject is there a link to setting up the bluetooth phone connection? My android phone appears to find the Pioneer but then does not want to pair for some odd reason .. any polite suggestions? M.

Thanks Jonny, Yes a great car and bodywork much better than expected after life on track ... but it did have a front respray so virtually nothing to see or pick fault at. Was looking at dedicated winter set (19/20) but may try and brave it out over winter with current CupSports (not ideal) used in the better weather days only. Yes last owners did a few track days but they have McLaren (lucky people!) & M3 for that and so this did not get used. Do you know where I can purchase new set of whatsits for between by legs ..... it is so awesome and soooo fast 😆 M.
