Everyone affiliated with THIS just got instant wood.

Congrats and keep us all posted on how she does.

Where specifically on campus is that gate located? I have never seen it.

ms355 · 09-06-2009, 12:56 PM

Congratulations. The Evora looks very good in (burnt) orange. Please post a few more pictures of it whenever you can. I would like to see it from other angles too (if I may ask for it). Thanks.

Ha! Andrew, I didn't read your post properly and didn't realize it was your Evora!
congratulations!

DeanG · 09-07-2009, 06:17 AM

Congratulations.

I've been hoping to see you & your M90 at LOG. Stop working so hard and get out more.

Andrew C · 09-07-2009, 02:46 PM

Had a good blast this weekend in the Evora 250 miles of mixed roads from Motorways (highways or interstates) to A and B roads. Still running in but taking her up to 5000 revs now and some use of the sport (warp) switch.
The car is everything you have read and more. The way the car is planted on the road its an Elise but full size, power and grunt of the Esprit, the speed that it holds onto the coners . Build quality and finish second to none. Lotus DNA ,no dout you have heard it all but when you experiance it all is true.
Regards Andrew

They moved it after the lastest building expansion. Used to be right on San Jacinto Street across from the Texas Ex Alumini Center. Have many pictures of various Lotus cars of mine posed in front of that gate. You could drive right up to it for many years.

Sweet Adrenaline · 09-07-2009, 02:48 PM

I must say I LOVE the color! Congrats!

When you changing the oil?

Andrew C · 09-07-2009, 03:07 PM

Get the oil and filter changed at a 1000 miles so it looks like Thursday.

Continue at present heading and speed.

I'm going to have a very hard time deciding between Burnt Orange and BRG. Maybe it's just the pics, but I'd like the orange to be just a tiny bit darker.

The Evora really seems to look better in the darker colors. There were some Carbon Grey pics from a few days ago that looked stunning.

knucklehead · 09-08-2009, 11:14 AM

Beautiful car. Congratulations! Can wait to read about more of your driving experience.

LotusStig22 · 10-17-2009, 10:12 AM

Pretty sick.

MikeVR4 · 10-29-2009, 09:02 PM

Congrats, and excellent color choice! What a memorable way to start: driving it straight off the factory floor.

Looking forward to more pics.

Thanks for the pics! We can enjoy it vicariously until it lands state side.
