Happy new year blowout.

Fortunately only at about 45 mph but still a bugger to correct. Luckily my driving skills kicked in.

2023 can only get better

PS no warning from the TPMS. Still showing 37 psi when I stopped 🤔

[exeterjeep]

quite an old tyre?   

[Rambo]

Going to check the DOT marks tomorrow when it's light. I'll report back.

[TdM]

I think TPMS doesn't report on every rotation so it's possible if it's an instant blowout you won't get warning or any sign. If it had lost pressure over a few hundred metres it would have triggered.

 

Not perfect but a warning after the fact isn't useful anyway.

First runout 2023 in the Peak District.

Great colours in the January sunshine. Bertie Basset's liquorice allsorts. That Toxic Green looks so acidic 👍

[Jcx]

That’s Kawasaki Green I think 

[scotty435]

You are spot on Joe, Kawasaki Green. The same car against my old Toxic Green 250 for comparison.

Spotted on fb - first Evora barn find?

Sad to see but who knows the circumstances here, could be a number of reasons it's been left a little - at least it'll be easy enough to clean up and get back up and running.

@LOTUSMAN33 is AU59DSO one to add to the Launch Edition Register?

An early (October 2009) launch edition....used as a press car...

You've not seen my barn then Bibs. Unused since 2019? Sounds about right.

Despite last MOT in July 2019, it says MOT expired 03 Jan 2021. Seems a bit odd?

I bet it needs a new clutch 🤣 And battery, discs, pads, re-commisioning. Could be a bargain at <£20k though?

Possibly the auto 6 months MOT extension our lords and masters gave us due to Covid.

Ex-Moss as well, must add to the value. 🙂

All added with thanks, does anyone know the interior colour?

Tragic seeing such a beautiful car sat like that 😢

Looks like it’s had some mods.  Rear wing, red mirrors and black roof since the press photos, and the funky green rash of course!

Moss Green with Raven Mould inserts I believe.

[Rambo]

More snow last night 👍

[Gazm]

Winter night drive. 
Cameras never do the interior “venom red” justice. It’s much more subtle than the name or images. 

[Bibs]

Off for a major service tomorrow so out of the carcoon and just put the cover on, a little too late!

Ice green 💚

For one horrible moment I thought that was lacquer peal 😳
