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) 😁

What is this "putting the car away for the winter"?

Up here we have something called winter. Which include snow and ice plus plenty of sand and salt on the roads. So sport cars tend to be kept off the road until spring. Good for you if you can drive all year round.

Nice in the Summer, bloody cold in the Winter since it's always windy by the sea. Great roads on the nearby ridges as well as a great Lotus track 30 minutes away, called Ring Knutstorp.

Dozens more but enough I think

Well blow me down ....   that's now my car!  Now on 42,000 miles and a plate ending in ORA but in showroom condition and the Ivory interior made me choose it.

......... and how is the old girl doing?  :welcome:

Just out of interest how are you sure that is the one?  I had 2 that new effectively identical although only one was the actual launch edition.  (that one above)  Those photos were taken about this time of year in 2009 not far from Balmoral Castle.

For those of you who may have been thinking I've left the building, I haven't.  Just been extremely busy building a house for last lifetime it seems and busy at work.

Maintenance Record Book, Page 3, states Date of Purchase:  25/9/2009, Reg/Licence No: 0007 ALN.  Page 2 shows VIN which matches the VIN on the car so I'm as sure as I can be. Dealer still has it to put new MOT on it but it was great on my test drive. Compared to my Elan+2, Eclat & M100's she is a young wench, not an old girl ..😃

Think it was mine for a while too. I put E9ORA on it.

That is still on it, so it was yours.  I've learnt the interior was called 'Oyster' at launch but now Ivory White.

No. Not by definition.
I´d call them McLarlambo style doors?

I fear they add lift and weight. But if the owner likes them why not? 

Only if you flap them vigorously  enough on hard acceleration. Kind of like watching a stork take off. 😂

I know them as scissor doors.  :geek:

I agree with Steffen; the hinges will probably add weight. Looks very cool on the M250 though (technically it appears to have butterfly doors).

I find some of these "Lotus owner stereotypes" hilarious! How many of you Lotus 'fanbois' as we call them here in the states actually race/track your Lotuses and drive at 10/10ths? All this talk of weight saving when you are daily driving your Lotus in London traffic is amusing at best, and silly at worst. 

Weight is mostly irrelevant in everyday life, spent outside the track. Even at the track, weight is only relevant when you are competitive, and know what you are doing. Casual trackday warriors will never ever notice the difference of hundred, even two hundred pounds on a 3000 lb car. This is coming from a competitive motorcycle racer.

You do notice the difference in tyre wear and brakes. But I agree, a 50kg lightness would be hard for me to notice, especially when I put my big fat lump of an arse in the car.

The difference I find with most Lotus owners to other marques is they are usually down to earth, helpful and know how to take the piss out of themselves and others.

Anyway, what does a damn yankee know about adding lightness after 30 chilli chicken wings, 5 ltrs of piss beer and a drive home in a 7ltr powered monster truck!  :sofa:

haha.  

America is the last bastion of hope for the car enthusiast my friend. We still make V8s, trucks, make sure our gas is cheap and roads are plenty. I am in Italy now as we speak and just filled up at over $7 per gallon. Combined with all your overcrowding, dinky roads, CO2 and congestion taxes and you have to ask why you all bother to make cars any more, especially performance cars. When a Fiat 500 looks and feels like a solid car next to a litany of tinier cars, you know the standards are pretty low for the general population. lol
