How do Simon!

Multiple kids now eh - well done that man

Still staying in 'noostie? Never did see your 993 out and about.

I'm just outside Monikie now Ross. Got 2 kids now, a 5.5 year old and a very nearly 1 year old.
I didn't see the 993 out and about much either :p
Truth be told I never got it the same way as I did with the Elise and the result was I didn't drive it that much. The last year of ownership I did <500 miles so that was when I decided to get rid of it.

good to hear from you Simon.

You may have to amputate your 5.5 year old to get them in the back of the Evora though

I was keen to try one for a bit, but gave up on that with the space issues.

Hope all is well

I have seen a similar discussion on TLF. Apparently there is enough room for a 5 year old with the passenger seat a little forward. Clearly a short 5 year old will help and a short wife in the passenger seat...

Or you could just leave the wife at home and put the 1 year old in the back seat and 5 year old in the front?!

I've had 5'3"ish friend in the back seat behind 6' plus pax fairly comfortably (trip Abz to Stirling).
I think you'd be ok for a few years with the little one behind the driver.

Hi Ali, how's it going with you? And how's your dad getting on?

I managed to get the eldest in the back of the 993 ok by buying just the right car seat along with a longer seatbelt and I'm hoping it'll fit in an Evora too. There was no hope of getting the rear-facing baby seat in the back but he's about to move out of that one. Just need to have a try of one and see!

[alicrozier]

Good thanks Si. Awesome to see you rejoining the fold!

I find the Evora a perfect foil for the 211, you'll love it. I'm not best places to comment on child seats...best try one I'd think.
I'm not too far away in Aberdeen but seems like you have closer options.

I'm the authority on fitting the kids in, Simon.

Ours have spanned age 7 to 11 during my ownership, no probs.

And I put my 5 yo nephew behind the pax seat at the weekend, in his Recaro Young Sport seat.

They get a great view forwards as the rear bench is quite elevated.

I'll be looking at an early one so around the 30k mark and has to be a +2 so I can take the kids in it.

I am in Aberdeen. Happy to give you a run if you are ever up here or if you are at RDSF on Sunday.

Cheers. Not sure if I'll be there on Sunday, I'll either post here or PM if I am though.

Simon Hullo ! Good to hear from you. Hope you and the family are well.

Our 14 month old loves the back of the evora in his own wee recaro. We use it three up far far more than we thought we would. Welcome to have a look round mine if you're anywhere near the weedge

I live just a few miles west of Dundee and have a red 2010 NA with the 2bular headers and lotus sports exhaust. More than happy to take you for a test drive and let you have a full nosey around, though it is the +0 model, which should not matter to you as it's not for sale and you want the +2 anyway

[simon]

Should be along to the speed fest so might see some of you there.

Thanks, might take you up on that
