Lotus Evora

Saw one close up at the M40 services yesterday on my way down to Wembley.

My 7yo wanted to go and have a close look and who was I to argue!

The proud owners had only just collected it and I have to say it's a stunning, stunning, stunning looking car.

Supercar looks. Should sell well.

Very nice, prefer the jag xkr though

Very, very pretty. Lotus makes another car which has a name beginning with E.

I had a good look at an Evora recntly whilst dropping my Elan off for some work. It's a lovely looking car, but the rear seat option is pretty pointless unless you have very young children (or older children with no legs!). I guess most people buying a car like this aren't worried about rear seat space, but then it does make me wonder why car companies make 2+2 seater cars when they really may as wel just make them 2 seaters!

That said, I'd certainly love one of these cars.

agreed. not sure why they dont just make the boot a bit bigger

even my dog complains about the leg room. well it would, if it was allowed in

Clarkson seems to think it's very good. That's a shame, because it's put me off it for a start.

Nice to see someone else finds Clarkson a bore:D

That's about as blinkered as anything Clarkson says, tbh.

You've obviously gone off me for some reason. You're getting your little stabs in every chance you get.

As it happens, yes I know it's blinkered. But I wouldn't want a Lotux Evora anyway, so it matters little anyway. Pretty car though.

I love you, StL x

I haven't gone off you at all!

To be fair to Ponty he always gets a little knarked when people have more knowledge than him or slag his idol;)

Oh that's all right then.

Do you reckon Swannymere might have a point..? Come on, be honest.

I don't have any idols and I'll never accept anyone has more knowledge than me, whether it's true or not.

I've met Clarkson and he's a bit of a jerk tbh. He's misogynistic and embarrassing (like your dad trying to breakdance at a wedding is embarrassing) but I do like Top Gear, purely for its entertainment values. James May is by far a more decent bloke. I didn't talk to Hammond 1-1, but he's quite genuine off camera.

Yeah, I get the impression that with Clarkson, it's a case of what-you-see-is-what-you-get. With Hammond, I think it's quite made up, and he likes playing the role. With May, I think we're seeing a skilled and intelligent bloke, actually dumbing himself down, so as not to appear out of place, too badly.

Anyone else get a similar vibe..?

EDIT: Of course, the whole bloody thing works in Top Gear. The invention of The Stig was genius. But I do wish they'd open the bonnet and talk a few BHP/MPGs occasionally. And review bikes too, which I'm sure Hammond and May would love to do.
