Dragged out of hibernation for first ever MOT. Getting to the test on Cup 2’s on B roads, with the front splitter acting as a snow plough was an interesting experience. I’ll make sure to move the test date next year!

Been planning for this year's trip to Le Mans to see if this looks OK in this position

You can do the MOT test a month before it's due. You certainly don't want to be booting it in snow and ice on Cup tyres 🤔

Or take a hit and have your MOT done at the end of autumn. It'll only cost under a tenner in lost MOT fees.

True that; but it’s great craic in an empty supermarket car park with TC off.😎

Just 3 made in Burnt Orange. Only 1 RHD car.

Someone mention Burnt Orange, had the pleasure of being in the company of the owner of this stunning 430 back in July. Going miss the lotus community this year.

No need to desert us just because you've bought a baby buggy. We regularly have an orange McLaren on our Scottish runs, no issue at all us for us. Often it's the person not the car we like, that's what makes Lotus owners so special.

[Nathan Pitman]

I like to think that McLarens have a healthy dose of Lotus DNA.

[C8RKH]

They do indeed @Nathan Pitman maybe that is why I like them so much

Still loving the Evora...using in this weather though means plenty of cleaning!

[Alfa2Evora]

Tell me about it @mcdonaa. With mine having sat for over a week unused due to the lingering snow and ice, I finally got the chance the other day to blow away the cobwebs with a good thrashing, I mean Italian-style tune-up, .

100 miles or so on the still damp roads and this was the result - still looks good though, even after a dirty stop-out.

good to see its back on the road.

@exeterjeep Still awaiting the repair to the front unfortunately, although the bodyshop are finally hoping to have all the necessary bits within the next couple of weeks. Everything seems to be made of Unobtainium these days, .

It'll be great not to have to keep playing 'dodge the speedhump' and remembering not to use the screenwashers if the headlights are on.

Now, that is an unfortunate situation... It's the only time the screenwashers provide enough water to the windscreen!

Cleaning session at the weekend so the Evora's hanging out with its Great Uncle twice removed (or something like that)

Good to have a Sunbeam for those solar panels 🌞

I just noticed in the second picture I posted above, that there is a symmetrical pattern to the levels of dirt deposited on the rear - that diffuser must be doing something, .

I think I prefer it without. Cleaner looking lines 😉
