I completely forgot to post about the wipers yesterday. I tried as many permutations as I could of auto to fast, fast to auto, normal to auto etc etc and even adjusting the sensitivity and then trying again. The wipers worked exactly as expected with no issues that I could replicate as others...

Preparing for today's adventures! :ROFLMAO: Full report to follow tonight!

Thanks Tom, will set that up before I drive anywhere today! It was quite comical yesterday, The weather was so bad and needed 100% concentration on the conditions so I was randomly pressing the controls without being familiar with them and my wife was saying "it's freezing, turn it off" one...

What a day to get a new car! The weather has been terrible all day absolutely hammering down with rain relentlessly! So, sorry no photos today. Hopefully, if the weather improves, I will be able to post some tomorrow. Home delivery handover – you get a text message the day before with an...

No, I just used the £81,155 for my insurance

Looks great, my turn tomorrow (home delivery)! Does your son drive already or are you teaching him in the Emira? :ROFLMAO: It was my son that actually got me interested in performance cars. He was in the army at the time and was posted in Germany so could buy new UK registered cars VAT free +...

So, now they expect me to sleep tonight! All loaded up ready for home delivery tomorrow morning. If you are wondering why it is on a 72 plate - I purchased the plate from the DVLA last summer when we were already several delays in and I must have been feeling very optimistic about an autumn...

Home delivery, Oakmere is my local dealer though.

Just checked my registration number on the DVLA - it feels real now, only 1 more sleep to delivery!

I would be surprised if they have spent the money on changing the transmission as there is a limited market for the V6 auto. It has been mentioned on here on other threads that autos only account for around 15% of sales and with V6 sales time limited with emission regulations tightening up all...

The Evora was buttons, rather than a selector. My 410 Sport pictured. I think there were very few of these made, before they changed to the GT410. I think the layout was the same though.

I did exactly the same! Contacted LV direct, tracker required. I am now insured via Mannings with LV, but no tracker required. Doesn't make sense does it! I got all the paperwork through this morning from Mannings and confirm that there is no mention in the LV paperwork requiring a tracker. Only...

Now got insurance via Mannings as per post #37 above. Also paid in full today for the car (see separate thread - Paying for your Emira). I am sure that the V6 auto insurance will be much more straightforward in a few weeks once all the quote systems have it listed properly. There is nothing like...

Yes it makes a massive difference at the bank if you have verified the recipient in this way. Payment details received by email is a very big red flag for the banks as the email can be spoofed, but this method avoids this.

For UK buyers – a long one, but hopefully of use/interest I have just paid for my V6 auto FE Emira and I thought it would be useful to share the detail of the payment process, so future buyers know what to expect. The last part of checkout is your invoice and this will arrive by email. The...

BREAKING NEWS ............... I have now got a confirmed price for V6 FE Auto insurance via Mannings. The cover is underwitten by LV and LV underwriters have confirmed that the auto is essentially the same risk as the manual, so the manual price is honoured. It is a little bit more expensive @...

Also available on moneysupermarket.com is the V6 FE Auto. It comes back as a 5 seater! - Is this the SUV Edition! You can easily correct it to 2 seats. Still no quotes, but at least it is another place to search once insurers have the car on their systems.

V6 FE Auto is now coming up as an option on confused.com, but no quotes available. I think this will be for the reason I gave in my post above re monthly updates. I am hoping to hear back from an independent broker today that I contacted over the weekend. I will also be doing more phoning round...

I spoke to a number of 'household name' insurance companies last week and I learned a lot including the answer to why you can't get auto quotes yet. The household/big name brands that come up on compare the market, confused etc mostly use the same quote system with their front end bolted on. I...

I missed the colour changing option from my spec! One moment it is red then yellow and then red again. The weather also changes from moment to moment from bone dry to pouring to dry again. This video would give a continuity editor sleeplesss nights! I think some of the footage was b-roll...

I understand your concern, but for me, I am lucky to have my Lotus dealer about 25 minutes drive away and also the 'home' advantage of having spares (as long as available) just an overnight courier away with no customs delays etc. I did consider a Corvette briefly a while back but even without...

When I got my (now sold) Alpine A110 last year, I nearly didn't go ahead because of some of the stories I saw on social media of cars breaking down with one showing a video of an A110 abandoned in a live lane of a motorway due to fuel pump failure. There is a known issue (and a fix), but to read...
