Great write up, and some really lovely photography, especially love the shot of the car peeking out of the garage, very creative Martin.

Eh, naw. He stole that idea.

But yes, good article, although he does neglect to mention the Astra.

Glad I got mine before you got yours and started bumming them up so much. You must be singlehandedly keeping the prices high with such glowing reports (I agree though they are stunning cars) :thumbsup

We all benefit Keith :lol: :thumbsup 8)

Joking aside i read the Maser GT carpool (a car i've always covated) but thought "but how much are they to run?" so dropped PH a 2 min email when i was on a call and thought nothing more of it (esp as a i got an out of office from Garlick dated 2013).

Week later i got an email from Dan Trent at PH and it turns out he's a massive fan of the evora and didn't need much persuading. He's a top bloke actually and was happily sharing his experience of using the car for a month with his toddler.
