Evora sat on the rollers earlier today 

She made 298.78bhp and 320.25Nm

Cracking result! Assume that’s at the flywheel? Forgive me if I’ve missed it somewhere on this thread - but any mods from standard?

[Barrykearley]

Got Danny a supercar experience for his birthday and it was today. So he’s driven a 1970s mustang, lambo hurracan, Nissan gtr and an Aston today.

couldn’t help but sneak 6 laps in on the McLaren 570 they had here. Tbh - I was a bit disappointed and I expected so much more.

 

[Mark Blanchard]

Was that at Abingdon? 

Took my Son there a while back and he loved it.

I sneaked in a GT40 drive too.

[Barrykearley]

No @Mark Blanchard it was a place down wales - Llandow circuit I think. These guys do hawk a couple of car transporters worth of supercars around the country. It was decent value and a cracking day to be fair.

Next on the list will defo be a track session up at Hethel academy for the two of us.

the wet weather and dark lighting doesn’t do it justice……. Life is bloody epic.

This hatch looks stunning on a dark car👍

[Barrykearley]

A proper clean last night

 

 the suns out this morning and other than the wheels looking scabby she looks amazing 

[Bibs]

Tailgate looks mega! 

[910Esprit]

Am I allowed to prefer the one in the background?  (Not the VW)

[Barrykearley]

@910Esprit I actually never noticed that. It was Emily whom asked me if I was eyeing up another triumph 🤪

@Bibs I’m really pleased with the tailgate - it’s a stunning thing 👍

[Bibs]

Please don't say that broom was involved in cleaning the car?!

Nah, that was for shoving up his jacksy when he cleaned the house afterwards 🤣

Which one's Emily? The one in front or at the back? 🤣

I will confess that broom attaches to the hose and is ace for the wheels 😂

You need to get a stand for that brush attachment @Barrykearley to keep it off the floor. Through bitter experience I've found that brushes are a magnet for bits of nice paint scratching sand/stones

This morning started out early - Drop Alice to school for her Biology A level field trip at 0645.

My eldest is diving in Malta, Danny’s working and Emily is in Menorca with the kids. I’m literally free for the first weekend in for ages.

So what to do??? Well @johnpwalsh has been nagging me for years to do Glamis - so I’m now sat in Dundee with the Evora - it was an epic drive up

[johnpwalsh]

Yep, at least one of you Southerner's have had the good sense to pay a visit to god's country. Don't worry Barry. You will be made more than welcome tomorrow when we meet up for breakfast, spend day one at the show. Then of course a bit of Scottish hospitality on Saturday night. Then day 2 at the show which will be exhausting as usual. With plenty too see and do. over 2,000 exhibits and we are due a visit from the camera man. Mr J Emm no less.

2 ready and another 40+ too follow tomorrow. From early Europa's to the very latest Emira's. Nice selection for anyone to view. If your in the area, feel free to pop in past. If you speak to the Mrs nicely, you might even get a T or a coffee.

[ChrisJ]

Literally just been reading about A52JEX in this thread

 

[johnpwalsh]

It's for sale.

[Barrykearley]

Just been Xmas shopping for the Evora online 

[jep]

Stocking up. 

[Gjk]

So…..

did you buy the plate @Barrykearley?

[Barrykearley]

Of course I did @Gjk 😂

[Barrykearley]

very happy with that 😬
