  1. Isn’t it answered in the ad? Nitron adjustables? Expensive kit, sounds like a bargain.
  2. Looks like it lives with the gear selectors on IPS, rather than in the cluster of six...
  3. @AD Fox do you just stand there taking photos of ppl taking photos of your car? 🤣
  4. What was the reason for the complaint?
  5. Thank you, @Bruss. I just looked it up on DeRoure and it looks like OEM MY12 cables are more expensive than the Inokinetic items! And unfortunately, I don't think it makes much difference shipping to my part of the world from UK or US...
  6. Does anyone know if the later MY12 gearshift cables (which fitted the updated mechanism) would fit an earlier 09-11 Evora? Not that one would, obviously, but I am looking at aftermarket shifters and wondering if the MY12 cables are the same length as the earlier ones as an alternate to getting the inokinetic ones.
  7. Does CC stop the tyre kickers and time wasters? That'd be one potential advantage over selling privately, at least where I am. Advertise a car for 75k AUD and you are guaranteed to get 50% “I have 20k cash right now” and another 25% “is this still available” followed by no reply ever again. Dealing with bozos is a pain, especially on a performance car.
  8. My S1 is same both sides (different mirrors to yours), but if it makes you feel any better, they are both like your sticky-outy one
  9. A question to those who like to do their own detailing work - what is the hardness of the Evora’s paint? I’m planning to spot-cut some surface scratches before applying a layer of protection, just want to make sure I’m using the right cutting compound.
  10. I was about to say the opposite! To me, if it’s a choice between theoretically gaining an umpteenth at the limit, or actually getting out and ragging it on track, I’d rather spend the money enjoying the Evora at speeds that would otherwise lose my license…
  11. I think we're OT and losing sight of the Alternator Reaper, guys.
  12. @C8RKH I agree, Andy! It is a shame political leaders seem to aspire only to popularity, not to actual leadership. Last I checked, leadership required one to have the courage to make difficult decisions which might not always be popular.
  13. @C8RKH We agree it is unfair and unjust for anyone to abuse or exploit any system of rules. The nature of systems and rules is such that bad actors will always seek loopholes and exploits (embezzlement, Ponzi schemes, criminal acquittals based on technicalities of how the case was tried etc etc). We certainly have different stances on the extent to which bad actors represent a population, or how to treat for such, or the complexities of the issues you described. As I said before, I've no interest in ascribing 'labels' to your view - nor the description of opposing views as "Liberal softies", "Left" etc - as I believe such black/white viewpoints only serve to limit the discourse on the issue ("if you don't agree with me, you must be an xx xx"). Simple policies responding to complex issues will always result in injustice, one way or another. Since you've put the call out for education / information, you may find these scholarly articles interesting to skim: https://publications.iom.int/es/system/files/pdf/migration_research_leaders_syndicate.pdf#page=191 (pages 191-195) https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/16118944221077412 I'm not suggesting these are offering solutions to all the problems you've noted - as, again, complex issues are not easily resolved. And in case anyone wants to try and put words in my mouth, I am in no way defending the incidents we have noted: illegal immigrants being released, people looking to exploit well-intentioned systems etc. I am simply saying: it's not that easy.
  14. This side of the world, the lilo would probably just wash back to our shores. But you’ll love this one, Andy. The previous conservative government put a law in place which allowed them to cancel passports of visa holders or immigrants who commit crimes… makes some sense, one would argue. But in some cases it would make a person stateless, for example if they weren’t given citizenship by their country of birth. Thus they could be held in immigration detention indefinitely without charge. Anyhow, it was tested in court and the judges found it to be unconstitutional to make someone stateless, so now those who have completed their sentences are being released… and I suppose there will be surprised faces all round when this incentivises more people to try the same shenanigans with the carrot of free citizenship!
  15. Aren’t there a couple of differences between S and NA versions of this?
