nice list

to be honest decide if colour or charger are more important as unfortunately finding an Evoke with SC fitted is going to be hard task and may be a very long wait
In all honesty, I'd be happy with a standard one (preferably Evoke, Black or White) with a Bimodal... but if you don't put everything on yer xmas list, how does Santa know what to bring eh?

If you could keep an eye out for me, that'd be great. I'm in no rush. I've waited 3yrs since selling the Ro, so a few more months won't hurt.

Cheers

I know that red isn't on your list, but there's a 6600 mile example that came onto ebay yesterday, in Scotland.
Just had a look... it like new and standard like new! I was hoping to take "advantage" of someone else's hard work ($$$'s) wink
We all know mods never pay, so I'm hoping to get a slightly modded one for not a lot more! Sounds harsh to the modders out there, but thats the reality I've found. (having been there and done it with most cars I've owned, and a couple of houses!!)

We've found adding bedrooms adds value, but not yet tried it on a car. hehe
Hmmm, extending a VXR8...
Could always use it to pick up hen parties who want to be sick together with their ten other friends in the back of your motor, whilst spilling cheap Cava on the leather...

Now, Extending a Ro... 2 more doors eh? not such a bad idea? wink

Right, The Missus wants to sit in one/press the clutch (if its got one) etc... cos the Ro's pedals and gears were a little big and heavy for her...
Thing is you can't just pop into the local garage to try one out can you!
So, bit of a favour really, is there anyone local to kidderminster/worcestershire/staffs/brum that would mind an ex Ro owner having a sit in their car? We'd obviously travel to you..
Does anyone go to the breakfast club meets up at RAF Cosford?
Any other options?
Is Redhot still around? I think he was worcestershire?
Does Mel still own one?

Sean was in Evesham, haven't heard from him for ages, so he might have sold the 8.

Haven't heard from Mel either, although I'm sure she is always welcome here.

Oooh. Forgot to say, you'd be most welcomed back in the fold John.
Cheers Gareth. I didn't really want to leave the fold, but circumstances dictated so..
Anyway, I'm back ish, and sniffing around...

How about asking Walkinshaw's if you can sit in one - with the owner's permission, when they have one in?
Not exactly local, Kiddy to Oxford is it, but appreciate the thought.
Don't get me wrong, I'll travel the length and breadth for the right car... but for the mrs to press the clutch in... nono
