Evora Picture & Video Thread

[C8RKH]

Who said a Lotus is not practical. i mean, Esprit's can carry ski's, but Evora's and Elise's can carry bikes!

[Bibs]

Not a brill idea with the world's thinnest roof on the Evora though!

Thanks - I think they'd both look better in Motorsports Green though

Glencoe Andrew? Was thinking about heading there this week (if that's where your photo is) Oh the luxury of two weeks off with nothing better to do. Scotland is winning this thread. 

BEWARE! - Advance warning - I'm heading to Mallaig and back tomorrow so keep all your fluffy little kittens away from the roads. If I can stop driving long enough, I might even manage to fire off a pic or 2 en route,   .

This afternoon on the Grimsel Pass

 

Took another good one on the Furka Pass but it's on the camera so can't download until the weekend

[CocoPops]

Lovely.

[PaulCP]

Maloja Pass, south of St Moritz and another from today

 

Arrived at at the hotel in Grindelwald, one that we've used before, where the owners' son was waiting for us so that he could have a ride in the Evora. (knowing the hotel I'd phoned ahead to ask for a wide parking space). His verdict afterwards, "much better than the Porsches and Aston Martin he'd been in before" 

[Colin G]

Wowzers, what a road!

@PaulCP

These pics have got my memory bank working overtime. 

A few years back (in the twilight period of my many Alfa ownerships), we spent a week zig-zagging along the Alps in a 159, starting at the Col de Turini and ending up at the Grossglockner. You've now got me itching to do it all again in the Evora,  .

Same bit of the Maloja from a slightly different angle.............

[PaulCP]

@Alfa2Evora

When we get back home I will post a thread highlighting all of the routes & passes we have done on this trip in Austria, Italy & Switzerland along with a few more pics.

The Evora is the ideal car to do it in although being able to take the roof off at certain points would have been an advantage. Roll on the Evora Roadster 

Eurotrip next year anyone? 

[Neal H]

I really have to get my car to the alps next year!

[CocoPops]

A few of us are quite seriously talking about a V6 tour next year

2 Exige V6s, couple of Evora.

As threatened promised earlier, a selection of shots from my run up to Mallaig and back.

Unfortunately it tipped it down somewhat for almost all of the outward leg so by the time the first opportunity to wield a camera presented itself my P&J was considerably less gleaming than when it left home, having by then already endured 150+ miles of mud and road-grime, .

Truly, utterly epic, I love it up there. When you mentioned it yesterday David I thought you meant you were heading up in the lorry, I would've taken a run up with you!

Note to self: Make intentions clearer next time. Sorry, Colin.  

A 2 Evora mini-convoy would have stopped traffic, judging by the reactions my solo appearance created. Even the cop in the layby at the southern end of Glencoe lowered the speed gun from in front of his eyes so he could watch me drive past,   - just as well he wasn't a couple of miles further back, .

[Colin G]

Ah never mind bud, I'm planning on heading up there next week anyway while the Mrs is in Canada, no one to tell me off.

I'm guessing without ever having done it that is the Kylesku bridge up the NW coast when doing the North Coast 500?  The front cover shot from Evo a couple of months back.  One of these days when life provides more time.

[mik]

Yes - that is the Kylesku bridge, as used for the ECOTY shot this year

i have a photo of me as a youngling just after it opened sitting in the lower curve of one of the legs. I couldn't climb it so had to be lifted up.

Depending on dates, I'm in (if I can keep up)...
