Evora

[Mike6]

Spotted this morning an Evora on the A20 out of West Malling heading towards M20. Must have been going over xxxmph and didnt even slow down at roundabout.

Passenger (me) hanging on for dear life and looking very very sick. Stomach only just caught up with me. Bibs you are a naughty boy!!

[Bibs]

Bless ya Mike. I can't believe that's the fastest you've been in your life and we were still in 3rd! Thanks for the vino, not required but most appreciated

[Petrol feet driven]

So what where you getting out of her in 3rd then?

[Bibs]

It would be unwise to mention numbers online mate!

[Petrol feet driven]

Of couse, just was wondering the stats for the Evora in 3rd before having to changed in to 4th.

[JAWS]

Well I know that redlining (7,200rpm) in 2nd is over 70mph, haven't taken 3rd to it's limit! You, Bibs?

On my recent trip to Le Mans I took in some of Germany and fortunately chanced upon some unrestriced autobahn. In Sports, I'm certain I was a smidge over 100mph coming out of third
