Hello! New Evora owner on the west coast of Scotland

[Pupil1]

Hi everyone,

I've been wanting a lotus for years but always talked myself out of it, until around a month ago, and I'm now annoyed it took so long!😆

I bought a 2010 Evora, it really had to be the evora, I only have the one car so need the "practicality" of it. I've liked them since they came out and now they're coming into my buget and it's fantastic.

Probably sacrilege to some but the fact it can take me, fianceé, dog and bike across the country, and then have a sports car for the weekend is everything. Most of the time it's a weekend warrior, either cycling or using work vehicles during the week.

I'll be searching the forum and picking peoples brains a fair ammount, 1st job is to find the end of the cable that releases the front hatch as it's not on the handle anymore!?

Hope to see some of you soon, I can't make the meet on the 6th but want to get to a meet soon.

Here's a pic from the 1st trip, that hopefully doesn't get too much hate for dog and seasucker😬🙈

Welcome to TLF!

Lovely car and great to see she's being used. That's the best way to enjoy them, they weren't built to just sit in a garage. 😉

Greetz,

Filip

Welcome! Great choice of Evora, all the best ones were built in 2010

@TomE has some great pics of his car with some very special 2 wheeled passengers on the roof!

@Pupil1 welcome!  I'm near the East Coast in rural Perthshire.

Great looking Evora and wish you many happy adventures with it. They really are stunning automobiles, and surprisingly, very practical, as you are proving.

Welcome!  Congratulations on joining a very exclusive club, not just of Evora owners but of bike-carrying Evora owners 😀

Welcome - and yes Dogs absolutely love Evoras 

[Pupil1]

Thanks for the welcome 😁

@TomEI'm not sure if i'm more jelous of how clean your car is or the bike, some machine there on some machine!

Glad to see I'm not the only one lobbing bikes and dogs on and in lotus...

Sorted the front hatch problem, a replacement lever and some uncomfortable positions and it's opening again.

Now to look at some leaks, and maybe if the washers can be more spraying/powerful, it's possible they're ok after being topped up though.

Not so good for the many mild steel brackets and holders though.

The spoiler ones for me, I’m needing them redone again.
