Evora Picture & Video Thread

[Giveitfish]

Carfections latest Aventador vid is shot on the Blakey road for anyone wondering what it’s like.

[TdM]

Thanks @Giveitfish Yeah I was up around the B6255, the shots were on the Buttertub pass. I'll definitely be going back, it's a great place to drive.

I was aware that you are around there from the history of the car. Was glad to be able to take it back to it's old back yard as it were. Must admit, I did have to dodge a few sheep. One in particular was absolutely adamant that it wanted a piece of road and wasn't going to shift. I wondered if the car looked too friendly to them, being white and all...

Unless it was woolly and covered in sheep shit I doubt it

In good company a week ago.

@mayevora Now that's the sort of car meet I thought I was going to yesterday.

Instead, I was probably old enough to be grandfather to most of the other attendees and the Evora had the ground clearance of an SUV compared to a load of the assembled Corsas, Golfs, etc, .

Here's my poor baby screaming "Get me out of here!", .

I had to fit my illegally-spaced show plate just to chav it up a bit so it looked a little less out of place, .

Hope you hung some furry dice in the windscreen? And wore your Burberry jacket and matching race bootees. Was it the annual Broxburn bring what you brung carshow? 🤣

No, it was billed as the 'Ayrshire Motor Show', held at Ayr racecourse. It was organised by the same folk who do the one in Dumfries, which I've been to before and which was very good, so I was a tad surprised/disappointed with this one, .

[Rambo]

If you want to go to a good car show in Scotland there is only one these days.  It is the largest too and run by BVAC at Thirlestane Castle, Lauder.

This year Sir Jackie Stewart and the likes of Mark Webber, David Coulthard, Darii Franchitti, Allan MacNish etc... should be making guest appearances

There are some smaller ones ie Moffat that are also good

[C8RKH]

Erm, actually there is a very good one run further north at Glamis and the Lotus North East Scotland lot will be there in force.

The Lauder one sounds great, but the thought of listening to the witterings of Sir Arrogant of Arrogant Stewart have put me right off. I'd rather spend an evening sticking pins in my eyes whilst listening to Sean Connery guffawing about how great an independent Scotland would be from the angle of a tax exile! Plenty of videos of that crap about.

Did you make good use of your subwoofer and crank up the tunes @Alfa2Evora? 

I would ask if you did any doughnuts in the car park, but I'm sure you wouldn't want to get sugar on the leather...

[Greyvora]

Out for a run in the Scottish Borders this weekend, so many great roads and scenery.  

 

[Rambo]

Nice Harvey 👍 I will keep a lookout for the UFO on my travels. Plenty of great roads south of where you stay. The old Jim Clark stamping ground of Duns, Charterhall and Berwickshire are fantastic, as you probably already know? Inland, the roads of Roxburghshire, down to Kielder and Northumberland are great too. Fast, twisty, long sweeping curves, challenging, no PC Plod etc..

Enjoy

Lovely colour combo with the silver wheels there.

[au-yt]

Can some one tell what the front bumper is?

 

[C8RKH]

That's one of the Winace ones, it's @Alfa2Evora's car and looks superb in the flesh. Dave will be along to confirm which one shortly I'm sure.

[exeterjeep]

Looks like https://www.elise-shop.com/evora-gtc-front-bumper-evora-evora-s-evora-400-p-503341.html ?

 

That's the one!   said Dave - see  July 11, 2021..

100% loving the silver wheels @Greyvora, much prefer them to the gloss blacks so many have.

[Greyvora]

I agree, the silver/grey combo looks just right on the car. She was delivered with the black pack but the wheels were repainted a while ago. I'm looking forward to more runs on both sides of the Borders over the summer and hopefully see a few Loti along the way. Forgive me for posting another gratuitous pic of the beastie! 

 

[C8RKH]

For some reason, the 400 does not seem to get the love it deserves and yet they are fantastic cars.  That car looks a million dollars, I don't normally like grey cars but it just looks great.

[Phaeton91]

The car looks fantastic in that colour scheme.  
 

Is there a particular knack or gadget that people use when washing the wheels to clean the groove behind the spokes.  My fingers are taking a battering!

[au-yt]

Each Thursday I go for coffee with some cars guys at great coffee spot. I was leaving and spotted this Europa and as it turned out owned by a lady who is a serious LOTUS lover.

Here father bought it for her years ago and it has now been restored and I must say it is the best Europa I have seen.

Turns out she wants an Evora, so I had to oblige with a ride around around a country block.

OK so Its not just pictures of the EVORA but what I consider it grand father

I couldn’t agree more, silver just looks SO much better IMO 😎

[Rambo]

Got to be worth giving her a ride around the country block 😉

[C8RKH]

I think I am addicted to Fire Red cars!
