650mi in, Touring is doing a great job of these often terrible West Herts B roads, many passengers commenting how unexpectedly easy the ride is. At road speeds no issues with turn in or anything else, all feels tight enough. Single hand drive on Motorways no problem, doesn't dart about at all...

Yes the rear really does get a lot of dirt on it. The car has PPF on the front and ceramic all over. But hearing about the soft paint I’ve gone very easy on the hand wash after a snow foam where there’s no PPF. I expected the ceramic to stop dust sticking, but it hasn’t really. Interesting idea...

DV, the hardest colour to keep clean!

Anyone tried black badges on DV? ie. switched from Yellow? I have DV + BP + Black calipers + Ice grey interior. Have the black badges but haven't installed yet.

I have an engineer coming out to me too - they were not able to connect to the tracker remotely

Having the same issue, Tracker not active. Almost 20 mins on a call to Scorpian waiting for an answer, gave up in the end

Had mine a few days now, gets better with every ride. I felt the potential when I test drove it, though I didn't feel anything special, I knew it would be with familiarity. That's exactly what I'm getting now, more familiar and it just gets better and more special. Can't wait to run it in and...

Might have been me :) DV Silver wheels + black calipers Black pack but with silver letters Ice grey interior

Brilliant, I guess a laser cut in thin ply would work well too.

Quality interior with real gauges would have been the perfect mix, but I can live with the electro dash.

is that bouncing off the the redline in an auto or the driver giving it some revs on the shift up for effect?

I think LCC have really upped their game. I got an email yesterday saying they were sorry i’d cancelled and asking me to do a survey so they could learn what’s gone wrong. This is a real step in the right direction. Perhaps just some attention to detail is all that’s needed. For example noting...

Is there 50cm of dangling cable? or is it easy to tuck it away cleanly?

Can anyone with a Nextbase 622GW recommend a cable length (12cm?) and to get a right-angled connector or not to plug into the USB connector in the mirror assembly. I'm due to pic up my car soon and want to get a cable ahead of time - hard to judge length needed from photos.

nothing some bolt on wheel arches can't fix, you'll be the envy of every Camaro driver with that near zero gap 😄

true, but then you're inside having too great a time driving to care

Most photographs are too wide (ie. phone shots) or too low to make it look more 'aggressive'. Both are poor choices in my view and exaggerate the gap and are not how we perceive it as a human viewer. We stand higher and so the car feels lower and the gap is visually smaller.

thats as much Emira as I have right now too, the rest of it is sat in a showroom waiting on Lotus to get their act together

I spoke to B&C about the soft paint, the clear coat already looked scratched in places with the car sat in the showroom. I was quite surprise by this but given I'm having ceramic this should be corrected. I was told that the soft paint issue was on early cars and has been resolved. Not sure if...

This thread is a hive of information for a would be scammer

If you change your spec and even if you get a confirmation, check back with Lotus before your car goes into production. I had removed the black pack from my spec, had a reply to confirm this was done, yet the BP still went into production. I accepted the car anyway - otherwise I'd be in for a...

In my case on the phone and online had the same limit - but it depends on your bank

The limitation was on my account not theirs

I had the same, it's because the account is a virtual bank account with details specific to you. You can't do a CHAPs transfer for this reason. I had to make 2 transfers over 2 days since the max daily my bank allows is not sufficient for the full amount. For security you can call Lotus and ask...

Cheap as chips. I think the area you live in has the most impact. I'm 10yrs younger, parked on a drive, full NCD etc..

£1040 with Admiral, came down from £1300 when I did a multicar EDIT: I have a £1k excess on this policy

Just went through the checkout again (yes Lotus lets you do this?) and can see the Road Tax was included. Just paid the insurance and now waiting to pick it up in April!

I've already paid a deposit, and a £75k invoice from Lotus - no road tax itemised on the invoice, will there be another invoice?

Thanks. When / how are these paid? does this happen via the dealer?

Does anyone know the UK OTR costs above the purchase price? ie. tax and registration?

I just paid via Stripe, there is a daily limit for my bank so I paid over 2 days.

pretty heavy dose of HDR effect on those images, exaggerates the travel on the DV, it doesn't really look like that.

its a Vantablack clone like Culture Hussle's BLK. I guess you'd need a lacquer on it, I doubt it's hardwearing.

I visited the dealer today to take a look at my car. The Ice grey with DV is a stellar combo, very happy with my choice. Ordered some Gtechniq ceramic coat for the leather, should keep it in good shape.

I'll have to PPF the leather :LOL:
