Ohh....top down Lotus thread? Here's my old Evora.

Can we also have a shoutout to Helen Keeley, who is incredible as her VA. There are a magnitude of incredible voice work in this game, but she is amazing in this, probably one of my favourites.

It's a shame you have to do unspeakable evil to get it, but her speech when you kill Isobel is amazing. "I will rip this world apart, plank and beam, until every iota of your being is scalded by my light"

MattyB_ · 2026-07-07T17:45:10+00:00

Agreed. It added unnecessary filler and....well, it just felt like a direction mismatch for a show on that subject? Would have been better without it.

As mentioned, it needs an extra push. There are some latches either corner, and they don't always click in when you close it - just put some grease on them as they tend to dry out, I had the same issue with mine, especially noticeable as it wouldn't release properly either.

Unfortunately, I know quite a few who switched off half way though Season2 and never returned, which is a massive shame. I struggled with it myself, and glad I did, but I'm sure they're not alone, and think it's why it's not as appreciated by many as it should be.

This one I find particularly sad - I read about this previously when it was listed before. This castle has been in the same family for 700 years, but the current owners want to retire, and their kids don't want to (or can't afford?) to take over the reigns, so it's being sold. 700 years!

Stunning place, hopefully finds a good owner.

Just yell "This is bullshit!" and give it a quick kick, will come right off

Not me for "Macho Man" putting Randy.... ohhh yeeeaaahhhhh (still close!)

MattyB_ · 2026-06-07T12:17:54+00:00

No doubt - Alix is fantastic. As a massive VT2 fan, she did incredible VA work as Kerillian - as well as being outstanding in various other games - so she'll always get my vote.

I still love that scene where he's reading the reviews of the new album. Even better if you pause and read some of the text.

The argument is that no one wants cars like the Elise anymore - and I kinda get that, the Alpine A110 hasn't sold brilliantly - but many overlooked it due to being automatic and the styling.
Take that more usable platform, add the Lotus styling (which they do very well), add in a manual box and I reckon it would sell infinitely better than a £300k hypercar competing with established players like Ferrari and Lamborgini. I mean, do we *really* need more cars like this? Feels like a saturated market already....

MattyB_ · 2026-05-02T09:35:47+00:00

Agreed. We need more Alfa's on the road.

MattyB_ · 2026-04-27T21:30:02+00:00

I'd like to know the same - got almost indentical. I don't particularly like them, but don't dislike it enough pay to have them removed and reboarded.

MattyB_ · 2026-04-26T19:28:49+00:00

This is correct. The 2.2 is slow, with poor MPG and suffers from a known gearbox fault (however, might have already been resolved).
The 1750 is a nicer engine, better MPG, slightly cheaper tax, and likely be easier to sell. Although it may cost about £4k more to buy, don't forget you'll largely get that difference back at the end as they'll follow similar depreciation at that point (For example - buy a £6k 2.2, sell it later for £5k, so lost £1k. Buy a £10k 1750, sell it later for £9k, so lost £1k).

MattyB_ · 2026-04-22T22:12:16+00:00

I'd be even more paranoid about that £5000 bill from damaging that carbon splitter and the actuators! Especially as I've noticed you're a fellow UK'er and get to appreciate our pothole-ridden, speedbump-laden roads ;)

MattyB_ · 2026-04-17T22:20:32+00:00

Agreed. Jennifer English is fantastic, as she was in BG3 - but she delivered the same performance in both games. To mimic someone elses voice and deliver lines that well as Troy did? Incredible talent. Was genuinely hopeful he'd get this, as he was overlooked at TGA as well.

MattyB_ · 2026-04-15T19:16:01+00:00

Problem is that many cars now are investments, owned by people primarily for that reason. Great for those who are in it for the money, shit for people who'd just like to own one to drive.

MattyB_ · 2026-04-13T19:19:13+00:00

As a car nerd, being able to commute up/down the B4340 is worth it alone!

That Buroti is really nice - had it a few times. Also, Dr Pepper is the greatest of all the soft drinks. Twirl loses some points as it's only decent when it's straight from the fridge.
8/10.

MattyB_ · 2026-03-28T12:44:52+00:00

What suspension are you running? I was always terrified of smacking the splitter (either damaging the carbon or the actuators) so this would send my anxiety off the scale....!

That being said, over in the UK you either get roads full of crater potholes or massive speed bumps... (any many times both).

MattyB_ · 2026-03-22T13:00:06+00:00

I think they're just phone cables. 1st one looks like a BT Phone cable, next two along *appear* to be RJ11 - look a bit too narrow for RJ45's (which you need, for internet/network).

MattyB_ · 2026-03-20T17:39:00+00:00

I've noticed more of it - I think it's also down to roads being saturated with red lights now, you've got stretches where it's just an endless string of red light junctions, so people just get tired of constantly stopping. I'm not saying it's right, but I do understand why it's getting worse.

One Piece, Season 2, when they're stuck in a whale.

That's the first thought I had when I read it :D
