Post a pic of the car you replaced with your Emira! And impressions too.

The zenos… Awesome. Wish we could register them for the road here.

I had some hoops to jump through for sure but ultimately got it done. It’s the only road registered R currently in the states. There are a few S models running around.

The R model too? Double awesome! Canada I think would be a non-starter unfortunately.

Thank you! That was from a road trip my wife and I took to Kelowna to visit some friends. Unfortunately, the roads where I live are decidedly more boring.

BC definitely has some beautiful scenery. The sea to sky highway from Vancouver to Whistler would be my pick if I could teleport my Emira there!

2007 Lotus Elise, wish I could have taken the gearbox with me…

Very happy with the replacement, perfect GT car on the Bentley, and fun car the Emira.
I am missing the SVR though, and will think of something similar for next year

Lol you love grey.

If the Emira had the S2000 gear shifter (the best on the planet) it would be the perfect car.

My S2000 had 411 HP at the wheels. (it was scary fast).

I still have my AP2 RYP! Best color. 411 HP sounds wild.

My 500hp giant killer. Nothing like it.

In theory the Emira was meant to replace both my Elise S1 111S and the family mover, just a old MPV a Mitsubishi Grandis Equipe (super reliable and comfortable but like driving a bath sponge).

I ended up keeping the Elise - I've so much history in that car I can't get rid of it (even if I struggle to get in now with the roof on - my body does not bend like it did 30 years ago). I've had it from new, one of the first 111S and it's had a lot of money spent on it for track days that I would never recoup.
