Would it not have been easier to wrap it satin black?

No pretty much impossible due to the shape of the back end as @Blackwater Graphics can attest to. But I knew it would be the job and be permanent.

Had no idea you were down or would have got you out a run!

I think I only seen you dander by once after I arrived but it looked like you were walking with purpose so thought best to not interrupt!
That would have been absolutely spectacular, I’ve never been on a track before at all nevermind in something as epic as your lotus! I’ll certainly come find you if I see you at another one, I’ll be back I’m sure I had a great time!

That is a quality bit of kit there! Must be mental when wound up

Workmate had an Alfa 4C for 2 years there, great looking little cars but be prepared to buy earplugs.

It wasn't far off, I'd recommend you go listen to one somewhere. I've had some loud exhausts on V8s and various other things but this was a different league.

It is aye, that's what the Evora has going for it. I don't give a toot for back seats, it's not like I'm going to Tesco in it, but it's a way of selling it to the Mrs.
I'm prioritising "special" or fun over performance so ruling out Cayman's, TTs etc.

Sounds like the Evora is the perfect car for you. My NA car was sort of M135i in straight line performance terms, but absolutely sublime on B-roads. Quiet inside and felt very special. I wouldn't say no to a 400!

Just don't expect to use the "+2" for anything other than luggage.

I have a 3 year old and a 7 year old, I can fit both into the Evora on the passenger side (one in the front and one behind). +2 is not really feasible for adults in the back but it's perfect for kids (or indeed luggage as Sven mentioned) which makes the car so much more usable as I can do the school/nursery runs etc. I would struggle with anyone behind me as my seat is right back against the rear bench but it's a great 3 seater if you have kids or really small friends

I've a couple of 3 years who I hope would never grace the back bench with their crisp filled booster seats...but I'm sure they would love "family trips" in it when speaking to the wife.

Will find out today. A crawling commute so the ECU will learn. If it’s anything like the video of the kit I bought it should sound pretty terrifying. More importantly apparently has a fairly dramatic effect on throttle response. I was surprised how much of a snorkel the factory airbox was so it’s bound to help.
