Another Aberdeen Evora

Post by Kinger » Sat Apr 06, 2013 8:04 pm

Hi,

Just picked up my Evora from Branden this morning and I have got say I'm so impressed at how refined it is compared to the Exige. Scott and I came up the coast road to Aberdeen and I had a bit of fun picking off the cars of that were out for a sunny Saturday drive. With it being N/A we have to work it a bit harder than the supercharged Exige, but it seemed to bring back the driving style of the 111r where you have to use the box to make good progress.

First Impressions are its a great road car, couldn't believe how quiet it is inside the cabin, but open the window and the sports exhaust sounds amazing. Fitting it was a great piece of advice from Craig.

Now I'm looking for a track shed, either an S1 or a VX220. Nothing in the looker department just one I can get out on the track for a thrash

I would post some pictures but I'm afraid I've never ever managed to upload pics. ( Think its an age thing, me and computers)

Many thanks to Craig and Branden for their help and recomedations.

Cheers

Congrats! There are quite a few in Aberdeen now.

I don't miss my Exige at all.

Has it got a decat? If it doesn't you're welcome to listen to mine to see what you think. It's a must have IMO

Spec? Colour?

Hi Dom,

Afraid the Idiots guide doesn't work for me. Tried and failed several times, think its got something to do with my computer skills and age.

Justin,

Its got Decat, and sounds fantastic.

Cheers

Big fan of your taste, I almost bought the 111R you did and was admiring your Exige last weekend. Was it the carbon grey evora? If so it looks very nice.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it :)

I thought you loved your roof off motoring too much to go for an Evora.

We'll hopefully see it out for a run soon.

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.
