One would hope that the Tillett reputation would have said all that, but well worth repeating! I've been sitting in Tilletts since about 2000 in my Caterham R500, fabulous seats. I did like my Emira test drive, but cancelled my order in the end. Seating position being one factor. The idea of...
In which case we are talking slightly at cross-purposes. I wasn't saying when the V6 will stop. I was saying that the received wisdom was that the higher performance variants were expected to come from the i4. Hence the use of the word "expected" as it's a future event! Time will tell. So...
I'm feeling sad that I cancelled my i4 hearing all the good things people are thinking to get out of it. It was only reasons of circumstance as I really don't drive anywhere at the moment on the road (most miles I do are in a motorhome!). It's good if we have generally moved on from the...
Can the TC be turned off completely? In my test drive of the V6 I thought it wasn't as planted as I was expecting. The sales person told me that a previous punter on the test drive had spun the car on acceleration. Just left me with a slightly unsettled feeling about the good manners of the...
My driving habits have changed hugely in the 3 years. I hardly drive anywhere and don't really do any recreational road driving at all. Even driving to race circuits has changed as Mrs R now comes too and we take our motorhome. So it would sit on the drive doing nothing but depreciating and...
Just had a call from B&C to say they have my yellow i4 and could I arrange the pickup. I suspect it's the yellow car in the picture above. The embarrassing part is that I hadn't realised it was built and ready and I cancelled my order last week. I'm a bit sad, but it's the right choice for...
The thing is that the dealer isn't the dealer. They are just a service unit in their relationship with you. If they'd sold you the car and it had all those issues and their service was poor, you'd show up, see the DP and explain a few things to them and they'd most likely care. Now there's no...
I doubt it means much at all for the Emira, we know it has a limited life anyway. I'm not surprised about job cuts. When I toured the factory it looked like an old school British workplace. For every person actually working there were several standing around watching and chatting!
There may be people much more in the know than me. We do know that there were some UK road legal ones (or one?) because they got in the hands of the press for reviews (or possibly slating!).
