Saw some dark coloured emira today on a village road north of Cheltenham I’m guessing it was the gray but it may have been verdant Pulled in to let him past, but he turned into the next house! I definitely had a pang of regret - looks gorgeous on the move!

you'll be smiling when you drive the beast home!!!

It’s so beautiful that’s got to spark a lot of interest!

Sure but it didn’t get an offer over 79k

How can a software feature need a service?! Weird!!

Finally got my refund transferred into an account that still exists yesterday! it was very easy to get my money back from virgin, even though the account had been closed for a yrsr So about 4 weeks all up. Would have been a lot quicker if anyone in lotus BS actually knew that the money had...

Even though I test drove the vantage and bought an R8 instead, I’m still feeling pangs of jealousy- this looks stunning!!

It does feel like someone has left a semi solid floater in the lotus brand-equity-bathtub though. If I was Geely I’d be pretty upset about that

See the collecting cars emira didn’t make reserve…., even with a 6k price rise on the horizon. Not sure what the high bid was but 79k last time I checked

He believes he has some power in the organisation 🤣

not v fair if you've gone for HY 🤣

#fortheseats!

A poll might be useful? 1. Underwhelming test drive 2. Appalling comms and the underlying we don’t give a shit about you as a customer message 3. Concerns driven by 2 re post delivery support, parts and servicing

Well, now 4 weeks into my refund debacle, and I get a surprise email from virgin money re a credit card statement for an account closed almost a year ago Yes, you’ve guessed it. Despite me speaking to lotus 3 times to provide increasing levels of detail re the new account to send the money to...

Lol. Do whatever floats your boat… clearly being childish does!! My car is well hidden under a cover as that’s exactly my concern!

Doing a lot better than the previous one then so far…

Just poking the bear to see what happens! It’s been one of those days… Agree, it was funny…

For the narrow minded. People exist with other points of view. Stop trying to deplatform others.

I’ll stick to london as I don’t know the surrounding areas very well. Borough market has a good buzz with good food drink and stalls. Monmouth coffee and Parillan (Spanish grill) or the tapas next door with a shared kitchen. Slightly pricey Oxo tower restaurant is on the south bank of the...

It’s not a flaw it’s a design feature!!

Nice shots, but wholly Inappropriate references to Ferrari in the soundtrack! 🤣

Lol… 450 way too slow I can understand 🤣

Lol, guilty! Only been on one real drive… trying to get the feel of the car first before I try and get my head around paddles too!

that's the Tetbury Audi car if I'm recognising the location? you must be local to me!

oh wow - never noticed my head near the roof! are you insanely tall or perhaps have a very large head?!?! enjoy the new wheels :) is that 2 cars in 2 months then?! If I'd had come straight from my vantage I might have missed a manual too, but via 18 months in a 2 tonne auto Macan GTS I can...

Last generation vantage. Problems were all wear and tear bar a paint problem on one door fixed under extended warranty 3 years into ownership

I’ll start 2018 V10 auto R8 in mid life crisis red It’s a missile and so sure footed! Had my first proper drive last weekend… 2 hours out in sunny but cold uk winter temps. Averaged 18mpg… couldn’t believe it given my heavy right foot! The car just flies so naturally along winding country...

In an effort to keep non emira content away from those who don’t like it, a new off topic thread What you’ve bought instead of an emira? Pics and write ups please!

You’re just showing off with the doors!! 🤣

Lucky you…. I’m 3 weeks 5 emails and 3 phone calls in now 10 days after supplying new account details and having not received payment I rang again “Oh we need id and extra docs to prove your identity “ Sure, I get that… but it’s been sat on someone’s desk for over a week, and well past your...

call me old fashioned, but for 80k+ I want to be wetting myself with excitement! I was literally swearing and grinning the entire R8 drive. I too found it hard to emotionally detach from my 18 month emira rollercoaster.

I felt exactly the same after driving the vantage… lovely car, lots of personality… inside a bit weird design wise, but still a very nice place to be and a really engaging drive. I then drove the R8. Better performance better handling, and I figure a lower run cost. The emira has better...

nearly got the vantage myself, but don't need a daily and the R8 was just on another level know what you mean... when my 2 year warranty goes I'll probably be looking elsewhere again. a more powerful emira could well pique my interest

Try an R8! I bought one on the spot after my test drive, after casually thinking I should try one, with no strong interest…

Looking forward to the weekend to fill my shiny oh-so-mid-life-crisis-red R8 with (too much!!) fuel and smile like a kid again #forthebellends

@Eagle7 i detect a hint of criticism of lotus here. Welcome to the dark side….

Unsure if you’re being sarcastic here or not!!

Still no refund for me I’ve now hit the 14 days they told me the process would take I’m half expecting they confirm a refund to the account that no longer exists despite having been provided new details.

For anyone that does, pm me for other great investment opportunities 😄

Just collected my winter drive this weekend after being without a fun car for 18 months! Quattro means you can still have a lot of fun at this time of year 😃
