Hi all

On impulse I dropped in to JCT today with a view to test driving an Elise. Drove a 54 reg dark blue R with 65000 miles, probably one of your member's trade-in. Very nice tight car bearing in mind the age and mileage. Salesman Tim then informed me they had three ex-Hethel management Evoras in stock. We went out in a white 60 reg car which was showing a pressure drop on one of the tyres so we decamped into a 59 reg Aquamarine blue with oyster / black interior. I was smitten. So refined and so many toys I couldn't resist and bought it on the spot. I couldn't believe how superb this car felt. I believe Tim has brought this car to one of your meets recently. Anyway I am the new owner. Take delivery next week. I live in Acaster Malbis so very close to the Buckles and look forward to bringing the Evora to the January meet. In the meantime if anyone cares to come and have a chat or any advice/ tips on the forum drop me a line. David.

WELCOME

Expensive day and sounds like the Elise was Mark's old car aka Hesslenaylor

Pop to Buckles for a relaxed friendly atmosphere and post a pic

Welcome.

But, AQUAEVORA? Wasn't she Marine Boy's girlfriend?

Yep it was mine it looks quite good in the photos.
Shame about the paint, I dont suppose there is any Aspen White going spare

The Evora looked great when we was at jct when we changed car

See you in the New Year

Crikey, Softlips has been talking about buying one for 18 months and you decide within the hour. Awesome work and look forward to seeing the car at the Buckles soon!
