    Took the Evora home from the detailers today, after a few paint corrections, machine polish, some PPF and wheel refurb (including a new set of PS4S) 😁

Rains moving north I'm afraid, but hope you have a great time and enjoy. Let me know when you're next up!

A nice one of my LE, photo cleaned up a bit of background distractions (taken by Collecting Cars when it was with the previous owner).

Ok. I give in. What is the cleared section at the top of the windscreen doing there? How did that happen?

77,000 on Evora, just before Christmas. 27,000 with me since 2018.

Aha. I thought you were showing us how clever you are to be only doing 20km/h at 8,000rpm. :getmecoat:

Parking away from everyone so his car doesn't get scratched?

That's what you get for driving so speedily.  (I'm not even sure if that is a word.)

Yup, can imagine. Some beautiful roads there and all on my doorstep. I live about 9 miles from Blairgowrie, so the route up to Glenshee, Braemar, Ballater, Nairn and over to Pitlochry and the Loch Tay is my "backyard". Hopefully you can see why I feel so blessed lol!

I'm doing the Absolute Lotus tour in a couple of weeks, which is mostly all west coast this year, and this will be the first time the wife has been in the current Evora, and 7 years since any Evora. She's got 5 days of pressing her foot through the bulkhead, screaming, and tearing the door trims with her nails. And that's just when we're parked up in the laybay!

Yes that was me in the McLaren. 9 of the 12 development team for the 570 were hired from Lotus so there are lots of similarities between the two brands especially when it comes steering. It’s not Top Trumps both are great British automotive brands. The best photos I have from the MLOC run today and great to meet you Clive 👍 plus a pic from the same venue the week before in the rain my cars are not garage queens.F907A5FB-E833-4A52-A42B-534EB3742C6F.jpeg.9fbc3e4a539deca669d43fda12b3d25a.jpeg1C886579-F739-4BBD-A498-80D797B38CCE.jpeg.f5387ba3f199748433cb7691cc55ef65.jpeg00E5778F-C958-44CC-9E02-ACAF60AE489B.jpeg.05ab4aab2def412a1cb0813b7dd2b4e3.jpeg
