Peoples’ reaction to your Evora

[theelanman]

well......it £5k below the £80k you might have to part with now,,,,

sounds near enough to me......lol

[C8RKH]

£72k!!!! Though seriously £75k is correct as they asked how much a new one is, and a 400 is £72kish and a couple £k for a small extra or two = £75k.

Haha. Great story though Jason and shows what great value it is when you realise how much those tits in their X5, Q7, and X6's pay for their fully loaded black cloud cancer inducing smoke machines.  Oh. Am I sounding a tad biased? Hmmm, can one get jailed for carist rants?

[snoboardr]

£75k was pretty much what a new Evora S 2+2 with the full leather interior and heated seats Premium Pack, the Tech Pack and matt black paintjob would've been when I bought Dex. MMC's suggested getting a 400 in matt black would add about £4k-ish to the price, so I'm guestimating admittedly. Clearly I paid nowhere near £75k for Dex as he was a year old and had a previous owner when I got him.

(or maybe MMC was just overcharging for the new red one that was in stock at the time! )

Well my 400 cost less than £75k new with every extra excluding metallic paint, so I know the last few posts aren't referring to me.

 

[snoboardr]

You obviously drive a hard bargain, Murray's is currently listing new 400s at £75,950. Matt black would push that to £80k of course

Anyway, sheesh, they were only 10 year olds, I could've said £35,000 and they'd have thought it was a lot. Normally I just tell people what I paid, as I'm mildly embarrassed to own a car that, even at £70k, costs more than my friend's new house in Leslie, Fife.

 

[theelanman]

the brand new one at my local dealer with everything on is at £79k........

Did you get alcantara interior? Looks amazing.

[Colin G]

I have the leather pack Stu, black leather/white stitching.

Sound lurrrrvely

As I came out the gym this morning and was just about to get in the Evora I heard a voice say "I'll take yours and you take mine" so looked up and it was a nice blonde middle aged lady getting into her audi 4x4 next to me so I laughed and said no way ! Should have said something else now I think of it ? Also had quite a few kids around my car when collecting my son From school, they were all asking Ryan is that your car and wow!!!  He obviously told them about the diffuser as they were looking and commenting on it.

i just picked up a set of sports wheels  from  lotusmiles on here, fitted them today  and yes they are lovley but I miss the old wheels and the fact they have the tpm on them, i guess it can be added to the wheels?

im sure once the calipers are painted they will look fine.

will be looking at getting a set of track day tyres soon for the old wheels

Sat in the multi-storey car park at the Pistonheads Sunday Service today, with James from Stratton next to me also in a 400, a group of lads walked up just as we were starting our engines. Whilst we were enjoying the echo, one of the lads shouted the question "so you've had them de-catted?" to which we both said "no, they're standard exhausts". The lad was in disbelief, and then asked "so you must have had them remapped?!?" to which we both responded, "nope, still completely standard".

The group hung around for a few moments more and then wandered away in total bewilderment and surprise.

Nice to see the 400 having an impact.

Paying for some petrol today, the young guy behind the counter seemed distracted looking at the CCTV of the forecourt as I come up to his counter. He looks at me and say 'wow, is that the Evora S'? To which I replied yes, he says very cool and how he has always liked them since he first saw one being tested on Top Gear!  

[Bibs]

I was there! (At that Top Gear, not the petrol station!). 

[Colin G]

I was chatting to a 911 owner today when fuelling up, he was very keen to give the 400 a look over and was telling me he was falling out of love with Porsches in general having been a repeat owner. I think our chat may have convinced him to visit MMC to try an Evora out, he thought it had real supercar presence. See, they're not all knobs.

[C8RKH]

They are Colin, until they hand their keys back!!!

 

 

[Stuno1]

Evora's wee all over 911 porkers in the road presence stakes (gt3's aside!).

[NeedForSpeed]

Well lots of people confuse the GT3 for a tuned 911. Some time ago I saw one while I was with a girl and she said "OMG! Look what horrible big spoiler this guy has put on his Porsche"; I couldn't answer because I was drooling!

[chylld]

Apparently there was a brand new GT3 RS at the recent Cars and Coffee. I had to look through my photos to find a glimpse of it... it was ignored by many.

well.......when you've seen one squashed beetle.....you've seen em all

[the83man]

Someone sent me this on Facebook the other day. And there I was thinking they are all the same...............

 

 

[Barrykearley]

Maybe it's just me I can't see the difference. Still looks like a squashed beetle

[C8RKH]

Looked at the video but think my computer is playing up. The red line was moving from left to right, the car changed colour, but apart from that, nothing. Think my graphics card has gone.  Shucks.

[Barrykearley]

Doh that's exactly what I saw....... That's my graphics card nadgered as well 

[Alfa2Evora]

Maybe it's a virus that's infected all our PCs,   - mine's done exactly the same!

Paul - just thought I'd say think your car looks great - the red/black goes well and loving the side air scoops too. What did you use to polish it up like that (apart from elbow grease!!!)

Still not convinced re the GT spoiler at the back, think it makes the car look back heavy, but hey, still a great looking car mate. Well done. Now, if I could suggest some scuderia Union Flags on the side
