    Are they letting people without one on order test drive? Palm beach is supposed to get their demo car in February/March over their guy. I am 2 hours away from naples but if I could get a test drive slot tomorrow I would make the drive as where I was on the fence to just see it. I will call...

    Called west palm, supposed to have one tomorrow for test drives but not for someone like me to see (wonder if I just popped in how that would go) but it hasn’t arrived yet. Too bad they couldn’t let someone just look it over for 2 min but it is what it is. First quarter is when demo car comes...

    Does anyone know when naples or WPB is going to have an actual car that isn’t for the FE buyers that people can see and demo? Wouldn’t it make sense for lotus to try to make some cars to get in the best dealers to stay as a demo car to keep the orders coming?

    Harry's Garage videos - visit to Hethel and Matt Windle interview, Emira collection and drive

    Harry’s euro tour trip in a spec I would take myself except for black roof and wheels, is really keeping the Emira on my radar. Like it is this or a 991.2 carrera T, those are the only 2 things that will budge me off my current car.

    📓 Journals Diaries of the first Lotus Emira picked up from Hethel - V6 FE - yellow / ice / silver / sport

    This is really so cool. I have to say, not only can you sense the joy in your photos, but picking up from the factory, from the main guys, pretty special for the price. So many things are 100 grand and it’s like buying a bag of groceries. I am not a materialistic spender and I am usually a...

    AMG i4 exhaust sound?

    That sounds exactly like an i4 turbo would sound. I think it is a good idea.

    Porsche announces new manual 911 T, looking pretty comparable to Emira (sub 100k before options)

    So I built a 992 Carrera T last night. 142-146k. How in the F? Starting at 116, and I didn’t do anything nuts, I built it like I was paying for it. I really didn’t have much fluff or so I thought. What struck me is what is Porsche thinking here? Or P car customers. Because I then built a...

    Nimbus FE coming in time for Christmas

    Totally biased comment as I want the nimbus myself, but that color is pick of the litter!!!!! Congrats!

    Is this really the one to get?

    Let us know how it goes. I think you are going into your drive with the right mindset and from a nice driving car that the emira should be similar to but better in all ways. I think the reality is that it is going to be a while before anyone who didn’t order a FE will be able to drive one...

    Let’s talk about the offset pedal box

    That is what I figured. Thanks for the confirmation

    Is this really the one to get?

    I think you nailed the rationale for this. Plus the fact that while I normally wouldn’t run a car, this one would be bagging for it and the rest of car I’m sure can handle it.

    Let’s talk about the offset pedal box

    nah, perfect. Just look deadpan at the rep with you after and tell him it’s not a good look for the demo car to have engine problems already. Also, Find some hills before traffic lights for the demo. On that note, I live in flat Florida. Have only had 2 stick cars and last one was 18 years...

    Komotec working on first upgrades for Emira

    So the engine is safely capable of higher revs? I always thought that was a physical limitation for failure?
