Yes, I too had a 992.1T on order but cancelled it in favour of the Emira.

Positive review from UK based Pistonheads: https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-driven/lotus-emira-v6-vs-porsche-911-carrera-t/49091

Apologies if this has already been mentioned elsewhere but I happened upon it recently: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/best-cars/top-10-best-sports-cars It is nice (and quite rare, I feel) that a major British publication gives the Emira the credit it deserves by ranking it 3rd out of 10...

Thanks for the update. Very worthwhile precautions. Did you decide to get an oil and filter change BTW? I just had mine done at 1300 miles.

I hear you and I have little doubt that the GT4 (and perhaps even the new M2) would 'beat" the Emira when assessed objectively. But, for me, neither of those cars is high on emotive appeal wheras the Emira has it in spades.

Sorry, Mecannisti, to use your thread as a platform to mention another Elan Valley coincidence but on my return through the area this afternoon I bumped into Oli Marriage and other members of the Top Gear magazine team who were testing none other than some of the Emira's key rivals (new M2, old...

Yes deserted. I was passing through on a very (and deliberately) convoluted route up to Betws y coed. Will probably pass through Elan again tomorrow on the way back down (and my car will more or less break through the 1000 mile mark as it does so).

Hey Maccanisti. Very coincidentally I was also in the Elan valley this afternoon in the Emira! How cool would it have been to bump into each other!

Excellent. The old military road is almost the highlight of the whole trip for me.

Great write up and great photos. Did you do any interesting roads on the way up (I assume from Kent)?

Invaluable advice - thanks so much. I second nelly111s advice about going anticlockwise on the NC500 if possible because: a) as nelly says, you save the best scenery until last and b) it seems that most people tend to go clockwise and so you should have a little less traffic if you run...

Brilliant, Justin. Thanks. What has been your favourite road or region so far? I haven't done any drives on the continent but looking at the Ultimate Drives list I am drawn to Romania...

Thanks Tom

Hi Justin. I would be interested in the list (perhaps you have a link) to the top 20 European driving roads if you are willing to share (The NC500 and the old military road ars absolutely epic BTW). Thanks

R35 Nissan GT-R (2012 model year) with Litchfield suspension and stage 1 tune. I have owned the car from new and I will probably not be selling it because I don't believe that I have tried anything more modern that I consider to be better and more fun overall (Emira included). But I am now...
