You should be able to refit one after you stuff it at Eau Rouge then.
Jonny has some spanners....

I've already worked out how to take one apart. Using spanners.

Think it's just too forgiving for Evora-specific Diesel!

I think you missed a trick there.

The Europa might not set your pants on fire in standard guise (although it drives exceptionally well and far better than the S2000), but there's a reliable 350bhp in there just waiting to be let loose, in a car as light as the Europa, that could be something seriously fun.
It's the Exige you can use everyday, and being a GM turbo engine, it could be a proper Cayman-basher with the right fettling.

Good writeup of the Evora though, pretty similar to my experience, though i got to test it out into Northumberland and it turned out to be a superb A to B car and seriously entertaining. But the car I drove was £70k as specced. As you say, at £40k there'd be queues out of the dealers.

The Europa I originally wanted to see had actually sold already! I was able to do no more than sniff round it, unfortunately. There are a few spread around the country - I wanted to see (drive) one locally and go from there. The only other issue with it is that I'm trying to stick to something that's spot-on out of the box, my insurance is becoming monstrous. That's why I'm thinking of the Exige mainly, a giant-killer as standard and I can easily move it on if I fancy a change.

Same applies Dredd, I'd love one of these but I'm trying to steer clear of modifications, at least for the time being.

The NSX is looking almost too rare to find without lots of dedicated time
