hi,
i've been lurking around quite a bit, but my Evora S arrived this weekend and i thought i might just say hello
I'm based in Vienna and I was actually in the market for a 2011 V8 Vantage, but for the better, some things got delayed and the car i wanted was gone.
When I started to shop around again I honestly only stumbled upon the Evora by accident, even though I've been a Lotus fan for years and I even read a lot about the car when it was released, but the car was completely under my radar. Talk about bad marketing.
But after driving the Evora I was sold. It may not have the build quality of a Porsche, but I can live with that any day. It's a fully optioned Aspen white with suedetex interior. It's going to be my second DD which i'll share with my girlfriend.
I bought the car in rome and drove it back home 1200km through tuscany, the alps and a short stretch of german autobahn. That was huge fun! I was really lucky to have a short window of opportunity with warm weather and dry streets. (I had a short strip with snow. Just a few km before I arrived near Innsbruck for the first night; on P Zero Corsa that was absolutely no fun at all).
Looking forward to have something to contribute to the discussions here!
here is a picture from the morning after it snowed, streets already dry again
