Fast cars and women.

[Rambo]

Looks like you're running slicks 🤣

Bloody tightwad. He could've sent a whole packet 🤣

[Barrykearley]

He’s seen how fat I am again @Rambo - it’s a subtle hint - and I’ve taken it well 😼

parts fitted this afternoon. Grass mowed and cars parked up

[Barrykearley]

Mate popped round today and dropped this off for some electrical bits to be sorted. No-one can possibly say I discriminate 😜

To all the folks whom wallop on about Porsche being better quality interior wise are frankly somewhat deluded imho

 

[C8RKH]

It's German innit so that means it's really good dunnit! 

[Barrykearley]

No @C8RKH it doesn’t. Some of the plastic trim is so flimsy it’s beyond belief.

And if that doesn’t sound so good - imagine my shock horror when I find trim that is held in place from the factory with Velcro 😂 - are these things made my garlic sausage farmers 🤣

[C8RKH]

RRRRRRRR....  Barry, don't pop the balloon for the loons.  

Nothing wrong with porkers if that's what people want.  Hey, even I have a German car and I love it  But my Evora is better built than it.  👍

 

 

[Rambo]

Hey, the carpet on the back of the Evora (battery compartment) is held on with Velcro. Nothing wrong with it and if it's good enough for Porkers it's good enough for Lotus too 😉

[exeterjeep]

Some of my best shoes have Velcro.

[jep]

Velcro - what a rip off.

 

Sorry, couldn't resist

I'm thinking of changing my Levi 501's to velcro instead of annoying buttons. Only problem with that is getting your pubes caught or velcro rash "on yer baws" when you have a pee 😐

[Barrykearley]

Oh my god I’ve driven it today…..

what an utterly woeful vehicle. In all honesty the last time I drove a car and was so disappointed it was a 2L 05 plate VW beetle Cabrio. I’m not just saying that to diss the car either. It’s simply shite.

I’d go Evora ever single day of the week - it’s light years ahead on road holding and feel.

[C8RKH]

But it ain't German @Barrykearley so the Lotus has no cachet, no uber bling brand name, no solid german engineering, no bumlick von sicknote or whatever the slogan is lol

I agree, they are very nice biscuits  

[Escape]

Made in Flanders 😉

[C8RKH]

Hopefully by vestal virgins.

[Escape]

I've been to the factory (they donated for a charity I was helping with), no virgins left. 😎

When I removed my rear bumper on my old Aston Martin vantage I found they use velcro to hold the top edge in place

The Aston Martin Velcro cannot be far from being launched soon.

Did you look straight ahead and to the right? 

[Barrykearley]

Oh my word - in a solicitors letter today pending the FDA hearing - she’s requesting formal valuations of all the cars including the recent purchase of a Porsche 🤣

 

ummm - false allegation again - it’s not mine 😎

[Barrykearley]

New tyres today - the old rims had sizes that were not the lotus ones on - so they have now been removed and replaced with PS5 rubber.

feels much improved.

[Barrykearley]

Evora sat on the rollers earlier today 

She made 298.78bhp and 320.25Nm

[Spinney]

I thought at first that is a camouflage paint job!🤔
