About to head back out and look at the Evora again.
And to give the Exige S another looksee.

They are very different animals.
But there is something I love about the Exige's rawness.

I expect an Evora would be perfect for my needs. Unfortunately my means do not stretch to one.
Price is a mere function of time; you'll simply have to wait a while.

Not sure i'd choose an Exige S as a tourer!
I chatted to an Exige driver, the year before last, at the ferry port waiting to come back home. He had been to the south of France and I had been to the Italian Lakes.

Because space in his car was so limited, his girlfriend had had to fly to the south of France and then sit with her luggage on her lap as they toured, and then fly back home again!

Oops

I drive from pool to to Chunnel, then down to Spa and back with the Doris with no probs. The boot is actually quite large as it curves round the sides, but the opening is very small.

The problem is the noise, and AC is an absolute must.

Plus you can't really see much so imo it's not a great tourer.

The salesmen do love me - they are trying to part some green from me.
The current Mrs Gaspode loves the Evora.

Ths Exige is bloody awesome.


Right, let's see if I can do the 911's and the M cars before next weekend.
