Nice picture, good choice of Dog and Car

[wantacar]

I went to look at this car last year, unfortunately it rained very heavily and I came away somewhat disappointed.....it wasn't in sport mode either.....

it was a bit scruffy but looks 100% tidied up now!

They've also wrapped the wing mirrors and the roof??

Congrats!

Did you get a good deal? PM me if it isn't too personal a question.

I am still looking but am after a brighter color. White, yellow or red.

Not the same car fella - this doesn't have wrap on it, id have noticed when i detailed it last weekend if it did - it does have a high amount of ventureshield on it through.

I do know which car you're on about though... i had my eye on that one too

An MY12/Ev400 steering wheel and an MY12 gearknob will really help to modernise the 'primary driving controls'.

[bosshog]

Why not just get an Elise/Exige and something like a cheap mini/fiesta/focus for the dog? Best of both worlds? Thats what I did, won't have it any other way (sold my M3). Just can't stop grinning driving the Elise.

Great combo, young Alsatian and a fab car.

Nice car. Really loving the metallic grey.The first picture on the ramp is great, looks like some kind of stealth vehicle.

Even though I have one, at night if an Evora comes up from behind you do wonder what the heck it is ........is the button starting with and S for stealth....hang on just put my glasses on its Sport but it could be Stealth mode

I'm in the Army and whilst i would love an Exige S 260 Cup i can't fit my Bergen or a grip bag in it, let alone a dog. The Evoras V6 is something else compared to the K/2ZZ imo.

That is so true. A black Evora used to pass me at 5am on the way to work and look different every time.

Eeer you won't need to if you had a cheap second car and an Exige V6 which would be all the performance you'd need.

Some of us don't have the money, time or space for two cars. The Evora does it all :-)

I'd just swap the gear knob for the later one (the same one as was fitted to my S2 Exige too).

Makes for a far nicer shift and not that stupid egg shape either.

[Havoc856]

My Sector111 "bk" arrived the other day and is now fitted - it's lovely and adds a certain heft to the shift that i thought was otherwise lacking. I'm delving into some Gliptone leather care over the weekend to renovate the bolsters somewhat and otherwise just enjoying the car!

In a week and a half i've covered 934 miles... Absolutely loving it!

It seemed fairly criminal not to take a few HDR and play around tonight.... Although it's been a while and there wasn't much in the way of clouds and i have to double check my settings in the camera as i only managed three exposures instead of the normal 6 i used to shoot to avoid some artefacts.
