Thanks Steve. Did I say sponge? I really meant wash mit...I agree, those are the way forward.

Nice to have a car worth washing again.

Filthy once more though, after a thorough spanking to Carnoustie and back today :-)

Less washing, more driving.

Keep a cloth in the boot incase you have to clean the lights, mirrors and rear plate!

Very nice, Campbell 8)

I have a soft spot for Persian Blue, it being the colour of the Elise S we had. Especially stunning in strong sunshine. If I was buying again, I'd choose the same colour if I could.

Enjoy!

Well good to see you finally bought a car I sold....even if I only it in 2010 and not to you :wink:

You'll love it, simple as. I drove one for the first time in 5 months last week....and the steering feels just as great today as it did in my first hurl in a press car up the A82 in 2009.

Well done sir, I doff my cap :cheers

Was trying to do a deal with Stu for his in the cafe at Dony yesterday - they are great - even better in the wet on track - shows you just how tremdenously well balanced it is - I was sliding Father G's from the second bend - sublime!

I had a shot of an Evora on Sunday. Loved it. Its not the quickest thing i've ever pedalled but the steering feel is fantastic, the damping is superb, and it make a superb GT car. It also didnt break after a 1 hour drive, so it must be pretty robust

Have you been anywhere mine Neil, Mrs F says the alarm's gone bananas after Murray HomeCare kindly switched the battery for a functional one ;-)

All quiet now, though I'm told.

But we're real popular with the neighbours like.

Graeme,

My only regret is that you weren't able to sell me it. Brandon & Craig did a fine job, of course.

But you sowed the seeds with the early car you brought to show off at Knockhill all those years ago.

Your good health.

I also had my first drive in an Evora on Sunday, however mine was around Dony :mrgreen:

Was very impressed indeed, brakes where excellent as was the high speed stability, only maybe lacking in some of the tighter corners. But overall what a great package, and that's before you need to drive the 300 miles home!!! :thumbsup
