Red with black roof is by far the best colour for a car that is slowly growing on me. Congrats. :thumbsup

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

Congrats mate:-) I think I predicted you'd end up with an evora:-)
Evoras are so under-rated...absolutely love mine and don't know what I'd replace it with unless I start spending silly money

Great choice,

It was your new car that has got me into my Evora, I had been in MMC with Neil to pick up the Exige after its service and I fell in love with the red Sport Racer. I was oh so tempted and if I had still been single I know I would probably just gone ahead, Craig and Branden were making it so tempting. But as I was planning to buy another flat it was a flat or the Sport Racer, flat won that battle. But getting my N/A Evora was a good comprimise.

Like you said its a car that has grown on me more and more every time I drive it, even find myself driving with the window down to hear the fantastic noise from the sports exhaust Craig recommended.

Hope you have a great time with your new car.

All the best

Lucky they didn't convince you otherwise it wouldn't have been there for me to buy. I definitely preferred it over the white SR even though it also looked really good too.

I drive with the window down 95% of the time, it does have a nice note with the sports exhaust.

Lovely car, congratulations 8)

This is how the Evora should have been from day one in my opinion, in terms of look and specification. This edition is now a car very much on my radar as a potential future purchase. I was chatting to a Lotus dealer I know well down south recently and was offered a very substantial discount on the sport racer they had in stock. Coupled with the low rate finance I was sorely tempted but I'm so stingy when it comes to depreciation that I politely declined. The cost was still more than I originally paid for my flat in Stockbridge !

Hope you enjoy it.

Regards,

Congratulations on the new car Saj, we loved our Evora and for what you are using the vehicle for it makes a lot of sense.

Looks like our original build slot has been a bit cursed, let Brandon know that we can pickup our original car with trade in of the 911 + £10k his way, will forego the chrome Evora hire car though :thumbsup

Great colour choice but then may say I am biased! I was planning on giving mine the black panels treatment this year after doing a few black bits last year and getting the red calipers and liking the effect so much. I was just about to go ahead when Lotus released the SR so obviously great minds think alike. Now I'm not sure I should be spending that money on a 2010 car or not. Craig trying to sway me towards something else red. Oh decisions, decisions. Looking forward to seeing your car at hopefully the May Breakfast Club.

First time I seen an all red Evora i didn't really like it but looks great in that picture, have you ever considered giving it the black SR treatment?

I'd do it if it was my car, 2010 car or not. At one point in the past I'd considered getting a 2010 car and customising the interior fully to my own spec as it would have cost £3k-£4k from somewhere like Transcal which I'd have justified with the saving over a new car, just so happens the SR is exactly the way I like it, inside and out.
