View From The Top Posted 15 October, 2009 Share Posted 15 October, 2009 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.

St Landrew Posted 20 October, 2009 Share Posted 20 October, 2009 Very, very pretty. Lotus makes another car which has a name beginning with E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudders Posted 20 October, 2009 Share Posted 20 October, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 20 October, 2009 Share Posted 20 October, 2009 Clarkson seems to think it's very good. That's a shame, because it's put me off it for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponty Posted 21 October, 2009 Share Posted 21 October, 2009 Clarkson seems to think it's very good. That's a shame, because it's put me off it for a start. That's about as blinkered as anything Clarkson says, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Landrew Posted 21 October, 2009 Share Posted 21 October, 2009 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.

St Landrew Posted 21 October, 2009 Share Posted 21 October, 2009 I love you, StL x I haven't gone off you at all! Oh that's all right then. Do you reckon Swannymere might have a point..? Come on, be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponty Posted 21 October, 2009 Share Posted 21 October, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited 21 October, 2009 by St Landrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
