With my rose tinted glasses on it’ll look magnificent!

" once the first demonstrator has covered 7000 miles, we can register the showroom car as a demo." ... sounds like they will be keeping them for a fair while and my favourite bit of the dealer's email "I have seen verdant in the flesh and it's very dark, from a distance it certainly looks...

Perhaps we can go for a spin when the cars turn up… soon 😃 I’m oct build at the moment

Bristol are also getting a nimbus grey V6 manual with red leather as their showroom car. They still haven’t had a confirmed date for the cars.

I ordered a gts and they still wouldn’t give me a test drive! Might not have cancelled had they done so…

I quite like dealer accompanied drives… they must have nerves of steel! I remember an mx5 dealer saying “woooaaahhh, most people don’t drive it like this” 😄

“Autumn” perhaps?

Oh sorry did you say left?… I could have sworn you said right onto this little country lane 😃

45 minutes??! Wherever it is I’m coming for a test drive there!!!

Yeah baby, DV me up!!!! 🤡🕺🏽😍

Isn’t it 14 degrees over there? Good luck with the barby!! I suppose you might be up north… Vaguely back on topic lotus BS have ignored my email from last week, enquiring about delaying delivery and likely dates for demo cars. Anyone else heard anything further?

My dealer doesn’t seem to know what they’re getting but is going to investigate… he’s still saying September which is getting very close 😃

My wife’s an Aussie… never heard it once! Edit: just looked at the link it’s American… No wonder I didn’t follow, we speak the queens English here, innit. 😉

Am I the only one wondering who the hell Karen Yo is??!

My Porsche dealer wants me to take the emira over when I get it!

….. however I have a suspicion their multi million pound production centre works a bit more like this Dave: “Geoff I’ve got 27 UK orders to reschedule. I’ve spent two hours looking at the 2713 yellow post it notes for UK orders there on the wall…. and I can only find 23 of the orders.” Geoff...

If by a nightmare you mean: 1. open production scheduling system 2. update date for 27 orders 3. Press go 4. System reschedules automatically in a few seconds, alerts you of any big issues, then emails any affected customers, once you confirm you’re happy with the new schedule Then yeah…...

I’m not thinking about asking to delay until I get my 30 day call…. If it’s in October / November then I might ask about it then. Realistically I’m assuming there’s at least a couple more months delay going to hit without me doing anything

Well I feel excited about it all this morning! Can’t wait for a test drive in the next few weeks!!! 🚙

1, 3 & maybe 4 or 5 for me!!

Or in my case rotting slowly on the drive!!

To be fair my friend had the little smart brabus roadster and it was brilliant!

Evo October edition: new lotus emira head to head with the smart for two 😃

No, 3rd behind the 296 and the McLaren

Your build slot is locked into fantasy production run no 2. Please direct any enquiries to Computersaysno@lotuscars.com

I was 8/7 am and I’m October build now….

Woooaahhhh it’s a nerd stampede!!

“The cruise control, music and air con can be a nightmare to operate via fiddly and laggy touchpads. Sometimes there’s no response to a command…” No, this isn’t the lotus, but the 240k Ferrari 296!!!

Now that’s what I call soon!!

I’m feeling similar. Might get something now for the summer and push the emira back til spring

Ooh yes. Me too!! Production now October too… was September last time I spoke to them And “firmly locked in”?!!

Is the “thing” which they mention “time”, perhaps??!

Not wholly surprisingly, the lotus comes in last place…. They do note it’s 38k cheaper than the next cheapest car though… and last place is shared with the MC20 making you wonder where the other 115k has gone in the Maserati!
