Not yet… GFWilliam’s carbon wing mirrors from GRP are the first item on my list! Will likely keep to bits I can easily revert if I ever need to 😁 Will be interesting to park our blues next to each other when the weather improves!

Haha I’m afraid not, but I may get a few carbon bits for mine 😄

I'm afraid it wasn't all selfless, Silverstone have a lovely Exige 380 I wanted to go and drool over. I recently cancelled my Emira and went for an Exige instead, so also wanted to check them out as a servicing dealer as they've been recommended by many. Have to say the Emira looked superb in...

As a millennial I feel qualified enough to say I don’t really want anything different to any of the other voices on here. The lack of communication and dealer relationship has left a very cold feeling to the new business model compared to other brands. But it’s still encouraging to see the...

Great colour, looks a brilliant car. I had the pleasure of following one (and drooling) for most of the journey down to Goodwood FOS this year. I’m another that sadly has tired of the delays & service and has moved onto alternatives. All being well I’ll be collecting a new (to me) car this...

There's an amazing thread on Pistonheads by a lunatic gentleman who has turbo'd his Nomad. Definitely worth a read if you haven't seen it!

He said November on Facebook, seems somewhat surprising, I’d have presumed there would be some launch/Goodwood deposits across Europe 🤨

Likely Solihull I think, them having a demo car the same spec as mine and McLarens downstairs for me to gawp at is swaying me!

Great to see demo's arriving - I wonder if people will be kept waiting until Lotus HQ are ready to schedule the test drives though?

This seems a bit odd to me, my deposit was very early morning on the 12th and the last update email had me down as November production with presumably December delivery. Having not seen much on the first batch of customer cars still, it feels like they're bringing some builds forwards and are...

Delighted to hear Solihull's will be yellow. Hoping it is Touring as they told Leonard though! Agree with your last point on timelines too - I find it puzzling though that many people are being contacted that were expecting 'some time in 2023' from the last update email and are now being told...

Haha yes, fingers crossed we see some movement soon. Unfortunately I'm not at the front of the queue and I'm already getting impatient having sold my previous car nearly a year ago!

I hope so, then I might end up with the first Emira in Telford! 😄

Beat me to asking the same question! My patience & excitement is also waning, I'm spending more and more time on Autotrader...

Haha yes! I'm undecided between two dealers and that would definitely tip the balance :LOL:

I don't mean to ruffle feathers but from what I've seen I think a Cayman GTS 4.0 is a fair amount quicker in a straight line than the Emira (which is a huge factor at the Nordschleife).

Completely agree. As an aside to Eagle's post, I'm also very skeptical of the £60k base price, that would be a bargain, but the way industry costs & car prices have inflated over the last year that surely can't still be possible. While browsing Autotrader yesterday I found Audi RS3's north of...

I think they've incorrectly presumed it was 400hp which converts to 394bhp. It should be 400bhp.

Here we go... this is not a drill!

Yeah, it seemed to be missing the rubber strip across the bonnet and centre caps on the wheels too. I wonder how many cars the driving academy have?

Had a quick look on Weibo, China's twitter equivalent and found a decent video showing the DV car and showroom in China. I've no idea what he's saying, but there's some good shots in there so I've uploaded it to Google Drive as Weibo really doesn't seem to like UK traffic. Credit to this...

Came across this video and couldn’t decide whether it was Shadow Grey or Dark Verdant at first, checked the reg and DVLA indeed lists the colour as green.

I've done a quick job of copy & pasting the black wheels off the Magma press car onto it for you.

Yes, you can see them briefly as the Emira exits at the end of the Matt Windle update video: For those of you who want to see every frame, you can pause a youtube video with the 'k' key, and go back and forward frames of a video with ',' and '.' 😀

I was just thinking about this, oddly the yellow car in the video doesn't seem to have the black rubber strip. The 'first production car' from the Matt Windle video doesn't appear to have it either. I suppose it could be one of the missing parts due to supply issues?

I did have to double check it wasn’t April 1st given Tom’s history… Just watched the clip, awesome!

Eek, good to know. My last car went back late last year so looks like I’ve a few more months pootling about in the girlfriends car 🥲

On the positive side that GT4 has to be the best thing I’ve heard on the live stream all day!

I was watching too, looked like it might have been leaking around the rear left 😬

Believe it's the V6 automatic gearboxes.

Thanks for the pics Tom, looking forward to seeing them tomorrow! Just caught the blue car & a GT4 Emira going up the hill on the livestream. I would guess the Magma, Yellow and Seneca cars might be the same ones journalists drove a few weeks ago now? So may not be final spec still.

The three worth looking at would be: Gran Turismo 7 - No Lotus cars unfortunately but a big selection, dynamic weather & time of day looks great at the ring. Gran Turismo Sport - The previous GT game, no dynamic weather but should be pretty cheap by now if you don’t want to splash out. Assetto...

I remember those races very well! What a nightmare :LOL: The new one, GT7 is out and is a great game, at the moment the custom multiplayer lobbies are a bit painful though as you can’t change the track/car restrictions on the fly. Hopefully will be sorted soon as I really enjoy online racing a...

I play Gran Turismo occasionally with some online friends, have a nice setup too! Funnily enough, one of them works at Lotus and we got to say hello in person when I did the factory tour a month or two ago! Seems to be a bit of a void at the moment in terms of new releases, so I haven't been...

Doh, indeed. I was waiting for Chris’ double “Absolutely” and the video ended!
