I’m at Brands Hatch today. Saw this in the merch shop. Made me chuckle, seems to have skipped the expensive rebrand. Available now though!

Agree. I also wonder whether they will have properly done the anti-vibration / dynamat that makes so much difference to any system. Particularly with panels made of plastic. It made a huge difference to the aluminium doors and tailgate on my Yaris. I ‘ran in’ the Audison upgrade speakers for a...

Fantastic 👍

Same here. I am mostly managing to laugh at myself for believing I would be safe to get the car by my late September birthday (was originally a July delivery). But I think a bit of good old British moaning is more than acceptable on a forum about a sketchy British sports car company. Just keep...

Personally I think they should have swallowed the cost for priority deposit holders. They’ve sat on a lot of our money for over a year and not done anything ‘soft’ in terms of CRM. Zero spent. Compare tha to the dealer who makes the effort to send out personal letters with a key ring. Not...

He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

Thanks Tom, bring on the batches! I spoke to CS yesterday and am still down for September build / October delivery.

May have been posted before but the head of comms looks to have had an increase to his responsibilities..! https://media.lotuscars.com/en/news-articles/new-group-lotus-global-brand-centre-structure-established.html

This has never looked so tempting.. https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/13506438

For me the Carfection video confirmed I'm still very happy with my yellow order. I also got to see it at Goodwood , although at first glance I wasn't completely blown away it was a bit more 'mustardy' than I think I expected. The more I went back to the Lotus stand the more I liked it, it's kind...

Just watched for first time. I thought it was a positive review overall. I know I’ve said it before but for years Ducati reviews always said similar things; heavy on turn in, not the easiest to ride or the logical choice (Honda = Porsche) but very rewarding when you get it right on the right bit...

Nice little vid that. Good effort and sound on the audio too (y)

24x24 would be my vote, yellow!

Does this count, bought it yesterday which I know I wouldn’t have done if the Emira was still July delivery.

Agree with all of this. I always wanted an Exige, my car of choice in Project Gotham Racing and the early days of Xbox live. I am finding it very hard not to buy one now the Emira is Oct delivery (plus spending too much time refreshing the used Lotus page on Bell & Colvill’s website), they...

I bet that was quite the dilemma, sounds like you made the right decision 👍

Yep, it is not what you want to see on an £80k car is it. I did a video of the one on the yellow car...

The question for me is do I still go with my EM22RRA plate. I might do just #forthememories!

A few months in a GR Yaris will bring out your inner 17 year old hot hatch tendencies should you wish to (re)discover them. It would definitely put a smile on your face and residuals seem to be holding up, so far at least.

I’d like to do this next year. Interested in how you did it (booked everything yourself or used one of the trip companies, etc.) No rush. Enjoy!

Points taken! :p

I'm most likely going to need caliper colour change. Not sure if Bell & Colvill may be able to help before collection (which would be ideal) so interested in local recommendations. I locked in yellow which was a mistake in retrospect. Had hoped they would be the yellow on the blue car at...

A few pics from Goodwood today in the afternoon sun (mostly), shows again how much difference shade and sunshine makes. Looked great.. Good to meet you @TomE

That is gorgeous sir!

It's odd. The two people at the front of the stand put my name and postcode into the laptop and immediately reeled off my build slot change. When I first asked there was a knowing look between them as they said, "WE have some updates." Maybe I read too much into that but it was definitely 'a...

I asked the Toyota bod on the stand if they can still be ordered. She said you can put your name down but at the moment they are not taking orders. They 'may build some if enough people want them but they may not' was the line. Then in an almost off the record type of way she pretty much said...

Diminish. Interesting word. I had similar feelings about my Emira on the drive back in my Yaris. That's a £33k car and the interior is just better put together even if the materials are relatively basic. The gear change is great. I really want to want the Emira still. Overall I probably still...

I forgot to ask about delaying if you are now being given a ‘winter slot’. I’ll do that on Sunday.

My non-Emira highlight was my son getting his Liberty Walk Hotwheels model signed by the Japanese owner. The car was shipped over from Japan and is an amazing piece of work (for the record I do not like what they do to Ferraris!). #forthenextgeneration
