Shmiss off

I saw my first Emira in the wild last week in Berwick. In the same blue as the previous page. No idea what engine it had but it looked amazing.

Just..,, can’t…..

That was excellent. Just when you think it can’t get better it does again and again.

Dammit man - now I have to watch the schmoriginal video to fully appreciate Monkey’s efforts.

Despite removing all forks and other pointy objects from the room, I will watch with safety glasses donned - can’t be too careful.

I must - perhaps shamefully - admit that I don't always appreciated Harris's delivery when he's scripted, etc but he's really good at being likeably sarcastic when he wants to be

That

That did make me laugh. Comments on the post were suggesting it was all aimed at JWW as well as shmee.

He needs his own YouTube channel, and I don’t mean like that collectingbollocks crap. I reckon he’d genuinely be good just holding/strapping a camera inside a car and talking like Harry’s Garage.

Maybe he could call it "Chris Harris on Cars"...

Yes, but less of the newer stuff and more his own stuff. I think his channel was killed off when he joined Together Gear?

Yes i get it. I like the stuff he did with Johnny Smith.

Seems a popular colour for them.

But yep, I passed one on my commute the other morning, it was waiting to pull out of a junction and the profile at a distance looked like a proper exotic, actually thought it was a McLaren until I got closer.

The i4 AMG unit hasn't launched yet so all current cars are the V6

Ooof...

"reach out"

I saw a dark red one yesterday and thought, if they’d made it a 2+2, I’d have bought one. Everyone, even my parents, like the look of it; so why aren’t they selling!?

To be a 2+2 the roof line would have had to be far more like that of the Evora. Which is one of the styling elements that I think some find objectionable (?). Many of the later Evora were sold as 2+0 versions only.




And even then - the Evora is a pretty marginal 2+2 - tighter in the rear than a 911 (but still fine for very young sprogs - helps that the bench is easily removed to allow car seats to sit a little lower). So you'd probably want to find a bit more space in the rear if redesigning that concept today...
