Alex's Verde Ithaca Evora GT Journal

[VL3X]

Summer is finally here and car season officially back in swing in my part of the world. This morning's local Cars & Coffee season opener was something else! There had to be around 4k people there and I saw everything from Paganis, Bugattis, and Rimacs to Cyber Trucks, a Huracan Sterrato, and a 3 wheel Reliant Robin! There were even 4 other Evoras and a Lotus Seven there!

I stopped by Lotus of Philly on my way home in hopes of seeing Atlantis Blue in person, but it was tucked away when I got there. I did get to finally see Seneca (close to the spec I originally ordered) and Dark Verdant in person finally. Stunning cars! Can't wait to start seeing these on the road.

I posted some pics from the meet and with the Seneca Emira on my Instagram:

We actually have 2 in my area! Really cool cars. I love that exposed shift linkage. It's a work of art.

Haven't had time to update this journal, but not a lot new. I've been out of the country for a bit and managed to break my right hand soon after I got home, so no shifting for me. It's been like 4 weeks since I've driven my Lotus and it's killing me, especially since the weather is getting better. I'm going to try to drive it this Saturday to the Houston Cafe C&C in Gap, PA.

I've been shopping tires for the GT too. Currently still have the Michelin Alpins on and debating if I even want to throw on the OEM Cup2s for summer. Tread is getting low and they've had quite a few heat cycles over the years. I'll probably end up with PS4S since they're proven and I won't have to swap them out in the winter, but I was considering the new Advan AD09s or even the Firehawk Indy 500s (awesome tires and $500 cheaper than the others, but I'll probably get kicked out of the exotic meets if I show up with them... Jk ).

In other exciting news, my buddy finally got his Emira! We both ordered together in June 2021 and he waited it out. He's been able to live vicariously through my Evora and now, after 1027 days, the Emira is finally here. Here's a shot from yesterday when we picked it up from the PPF shop. It's still in the break in period, but it's a blast to drive even with keeping it under 4k and in normal mode. Now I get to live vicariously though him! I was so excited I bought him a 3rd cat delete from @GRP (also as a thank you for helping install my Moroso pan over the winter).
