I’ve actially had one of them - utter shit - but like a 2cv strangely satisfying to drive. Smoked like a sixties steam train on start up every morning

This is the high tech super duper upgraded version of the Sherpa, I had a Somerset mustard yellow version, it was the ugliest van available at the time but beggars can't be choosers , it did have character and the A series OHV had that wonderful farting sound on overrun.

How insulting! How very dare you all. I have this and I LOVE IT!!!

New work van picked up. 150 dsg highline - and it’s absolutely superb.

bit sad i ended up in a VW - but the maths just stacked up 

It isn't very Evora shaped Barry?!?!?

[Barrykearley]

@swindon_alan it isn’t sadly. I do however need a reliable tool box to take to site with me - and since the Vauxhall is now having its third engine installed under warranty - I’ve had little or no choice but to fork out for a decent truck

And my Elise

Oooooh

[Chillidoggy]

I bet you haven't been so excited since your mum bought you a Johnny Seven OMA.

[Sparky]

Super excited!  But can't compare, as my evil parents never got me a Johnny Seven, just a Malibu Barbie.  Scarred for life.

After the failed attempt to purchase a car last weekend. This weekend, I've managed to purchase one that's arguably more suitable. Virtually no difference in price, extra c35HP, extra level of trim (X pack instead of just Titanium) with pretty much every factory fit option that was available, and despite me believing I'd still got to fork out for a towbar, it has a factory-fit electronic retractable one (that reminds me, must find out where the electrics plug is and whether 7 or 12 pin). Only challenge is that it's from London so didn't get any decent runs to keep the DPF etc clear, so I'll have to rectify that with some longer drives under load.

 

Edit: Buying this type is car is not one I enjoy, i don't like driving MPVs, but my Mother has been told her knee needs to be replaced, she's not going to have it done, so  normal saloon/ estate car isn't viable.

That's why my wife got rid of her Accord and bought a Skoda Karoq. Easier to get into with her hips and I have to admit, it is a really nice car.

Beautiful sunny day watching the first round of the Scottish Rally Championship at Knockhill. Much happier than discussing bloody vans!

Discovering that the mystery knock my Esprit had developed on the rear today was because the wheel nuts on one back wheel weren't 'quite' tight. Car maintenance 1.01, make sure you tighten the wheel nuts dumbass ..😳

[Mark Blanchard]

Went to Race Retro today and spotted these 😀

Driving a clean Evora on dry roads to work this morning 

[Kimbers]

Early morning Bants with @Sparky that and the fact I can turn it off when he annoys me

[Sparky]

I like you.  I don't care what all the others say.

Driving home from work in a clean Evora on dry roads, with the window down and LOUD button engaged 

[C8RKH]

I cannot drive my Evora WITHOUT the loud button being on. I've tried it but just can't do it. I can't help making the exhaust pop, crackle and burp and when overtaking I have to give it the full beans because the noise, oh my, the noise.

I do however feel guilty at times when I get home as the noise must possibly scare the shit out of some people. I beat myself up and call myself a knob and feel bad. But the next time I drive it I just cannot not doing it all again 

If this pattern of abuse involved alcohol, I'd be an alcoholic. If drugs, I'd be a druggie. Both have support groups. All I've got is TLF 🤣😂

Dropped my car off at B&C for repairs. Saw Jamie, always a great guy and super friendly. 

Must remember to bring him a thank you gift next time for all his help! 

[jep]

Did I see you on the A3 yesterday at around 5pm? I was in an Evora.

B&C: such good guys.
