@pat_t with your Chevvy footage we couldn't see much of the track and I found myself watching your key fob. Fascinating. 😄

yeah shame I didn't mount the GoPro another 6 inches higher on that one. They're certainly very different driving experiences!! I was very impressed with the 400 there as a totally standard car though, never been through Karussel so smoothly!!

Nice couple of videos.  You’ve obviously done it once or twice before 😉. The Chevy definitely just gives the impression it is more of everything.

I had an interesting lap last year. As I went under the bridge the heavens opened.  Made for a good picture though, and I’ve never had my €30 lap last so long:

 

@Rossybrown had a similar, but different experience in those kind of conditions... He put a whole new spin on things!

A young pretender has finally arrived after a 21 month wait!

Only driven back from Bristol (25 miles) and weather wasnt good. Its a nice place to be and the quality is very good and a few steps up from my 2010 Evora. Going to keep the Evora for a while ( maybe longterm  ) and see which I prefer. If I do part with my Evora that I have owned for 12 years I will advertise it here first. Should be an interesting comparison.

Nicely done, congratulations

 

Lovely! Time for a garage tidy up and clear out?

Harsh! 

Just watch that wall (RHS) Hope the camping seats don't fall 😯

There’s a big polystyrene insulating board on the rhs glued to the wall which has saved the Evora a couple of times but I do need to get rid of a few things!

I'm another one concerned about the precarious nature of your garage contents.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've done more damage to cars due to careless moments in a garage than out on the open road.

The cars look great, but I'm curious about your decision to keep both. Surely they are a very similar driving experience. I would have thought something different would be in order.

I get the feeling there are several owners on here who are planning to keep bothan Evora and Emira ?

Woah. Don’t ever come near my garage, please.

That’s a nice looking garage - complete with golf bag to see if Lotus’ hype about the boot size is true I presume?

@Whitey are you getting some smaller plates for the Emira? They look so much neater on your Evora when they are a cut down, but still legal, size.

A similar set up and comparison, albeit the other way age-wise...

wow that esprit 😍

Yep, smaller plate will be on very shortly! Not sure if I’ll do a stick on one again below the nose badge, but will prob modify the plinth and get a smaller normal plate on there. It’s the main reason I went for a 5digit plate.

Don't you just hate those overlarge front and rear plates on sports cars. Looks ghastly and, no doubt, interferes with the front aero's.

Nice cars 👍

Interestingly, I park like Whitey does with 1 car in forwards and 1 car in backwards. This allows you more room to enter/exit your cars as the passenger side of either car is closer to the garage wall

Thanks, although this is supposed to be the Evora appreciation thread 🙂 

That is a good point @Rambo, I'd never thought of that, instead I have foam on the wall next to the Evora.

Ditto, mine wouldn't survive scrutiny at the moment. However, I have to say, that garage looks fine and well used. Just be careful and I'm sure all will be fine. 🙂

Like this.

Awaiting the recovery lorry. Will be 3 and a half hours apparently as they need a special one for low cars...

 

Will try to grab one of the recovery!

Oh no...what happened?

Just clicks when I try to start it.

Happened a couple of weeks back but pulling fuses and reseating seemed to fix it.

No beans this time. No codes on the OBD either.
