Sure - that would be fine, through working away have attended precious few meets so would be good opportunity. Will be home next month and probably have the Evora 2nd week of March. Shall get in touch with Car limits and look at their availability but if OK with them to have a mini-meet during or after would work for me. Will post some details a bit nearer the time.

Blimey.

I don't think Car Limits is about how many people one can stuff in a Lotus Evora!

It's great that the car generates real excitement - there are so few modern cars which do that.

Ha! might be fun to try though - no, was just thinking that perhaps at the end of the day it might be an opportunity for a few locals to have a look and perhaps a quick spin in a "controlled" environment rather than on the public highway.

The S2000 - and S2Ki especially has given me a lot over the last few years so it would be nice to do in return....

Arran is a very long way from the South Coast - Great idea!!

Me too.

It's a car I may 'retire' into after racing so I'll be very interested in a long-term owners perspective.

And a visit if you're on your way up to Arran

I don't think they have, TBH.

A combination of the financiapocalypse and everyone hanging on for the S or roadster versions maybe...

Maybe because it's somewhere between a Cayman and a 911 and those buyers are incapable of thinking outside the box?

Anyway, I think I like it and best of luck with the new Louts (I'm no longer correcting that bloody typo I make every time!).

Agree - was going to hold of until the S version but after a test drive was too impatient! will Supercharge once the warranty is done as I did with the S

Had to take insurance docs down today for registration and couldn't help but have a quick look - Colour is really good in the flesh....
