What are you driving until the Emira arrives?

My V6 Mustang daily driven since 2017 (I/E/tune) and will keep it for that duty (fun fact: British GT3 racecar Ginetta G55 shares the same V6 base engine). Was planning to get a GR Supra alongside it til the C8 stole that thunder. Now Emira is stealing the C8's thunder. I'm being flip floppy but these are exciting times to have this problem.

I assure you the Gt will run circles on an Emira on the track, every expert driver I've seen say the Emira understeer is a killer, that's why Lotus made such distinction with the GT4 which slightly better than the GT, so for you to get an Emira to do what the Gt can do you will spend those $13K back and maybe more! if you really want pound per dollar there's only one car on planet earth that can deliver, and that is Corvette Z06!! that's what I really call "Breath taking Performance"

I'll be driving this, since it will be finished well before the Emira shows up.

If i was driving that, I would say to the Emira "Zee Yazz Soon!"

I was considering building the factory five cobra until I saw the throttle house review. Lol

Initially I planned to switch my old M2 with the emira but someone totaled my car (she didn’t stop at a stop sign..) so I thought I’d give the 8Y RS3 a try as I needed another car (didn’t like the understeer of the prev gens) which is quite surprisingly good, also got a 718 boxster which I’m replacing with a bronco raptor, but the manual emira with it’s looks and dynamics as I’ve heard (first lotus for me) is something else and I’m so eager to get it!
Also got the STO and R8 which are weekend cars. FYI not a single car is a garage queen which is the most important part and the Audi lineup is unplanned lol (and a photo of my old M2 and 992 with the current boxster) and got a few interesting cars coming

That’s not a hard question honestly haha STO all day, not as a daily thou, after 2h+ of driving it hurts in the as* lol, as a daily it’s a really hard pick between the 992 (carrera) and the R8. The RSQ8 just doesn’t do it for me, it’s an SUV, yeah it’s really practical and comfortable and FAST, it’s just needed for work (off road).

Got myself one of these to tide me over until the Emira gets here:

Shall we play a little game?

Any guesses what it is?

A clue - it’s got a ”4” in the name.

When you say the RSQ8 is for work "off-road", you mean touring your winery?

Nobody wants to have a guess?
You’re all very boring.
All right here it is:

BMW C400X.
TFT dash, keyless go, heated grips and seat.
It’s bloody brilliant.

Um...please return my 240Z immediately!!

2015 Scat Pack 6MT bought new. Don't intend to sell it when the Emira arrives. I'd like a scalpel to go with the hammer.

Amazing collection. I particularly love the colour of the STO!

I'lll be driving one of these two, depending on the weather.
I think Magma will go well with the Defender?

But they both leak

. I had a 2016 90 XS which I now regret selling, but I was always using dum dum putty sealing areas in the passenger area to stop water coming in. Would still have one if they returned to the 2019 prices.
