I know what it is, but in all my time of CI, lean 6 sigma and project management, I only ever heard takt from Porsche guys! Maybe because I'm not from a production line environment its not as relevant.

I've said on here previous, I used to have the megane rs trophy 300 and I loved the engine. With the exhaust valves open it would make ridiculous noise that made me smile even at sensible speeds. I realise this isn't everyone's taste, but for me i enjoyed it more than than my current GRY...

He actually calls is "takt" which interestingly (to me atleast) is a Porsche Continuous Improvement term 🥸

I had the same engine in my previous megane rs trophy 300, it was quite characterful although lacking in rpm range. If only they did a manual version of the alpine, I could get past the awkward body..

The guy that told me owns an AM approved bodyshop, so I don't have any reason to doubt the fact, though I do wonder if he meant to say vanquish or another of the more low volume vehicles... 🤷‍♂️

I was recently told that to replace the windscreen wiper motor on a vantage, was an engine out job 🤔

Funny, I was watching fyre festival documentary on Netflix this week and drawing similarities to the Emira 👀

I didn't get the email in Wales, yet... 😑

I wouldn't hold your breath for a very insightful review on TG. The GR Yaris episode was just skidding with dubbed noise from something with more cylinders. It didn't do any harm to the order books though.

I'm down for Magma, all the FE colours are great but I wanted to choose one that allows the curves to pop. I'm very nervous about getting ferrari wannabe trash talk though.

Ah I feel less upset about missing it when I was there last month now then 😂

Didn't the lotus dealership only just open in Mayfair...

A few hundred miles of brake dust will soon dampen the effect 👍🏻

Its good if you like looking at pictures of fingernails on IG #emira :cautious:

Also South wales member here 👋

I enjoyed that review more than the british mags 👍🏻

I selected the tracker option because i'd kick myself forever if anything ever happened. Its probably an unfair opinion based on a small sample but I have seen more than 1 issue in GR Yaris forum with ghost causing battery drain issues.

First performance orientated car: Final version ended up with 1.9 Mi16 on jenvey45s and Emerald ECU 180bhp 145lbft and sounded epic on and off throttle. Safety devices roll cage, big brakes from diesel 307, gaz suspension... It was all way too raw for a daily driver and impractical for my...

I can't recall where I heard or read about it, but I have heard of a driving instructor peddling a Satria GTI on track days and humiliating far more powerful machinery (skylines and imprezas ring a bell) and have since held them in high esteem. Quite rare, I don't think I've seen more than 3...

Given that the v6 is relatively old, is E10 going to be an issue? What is the guidance on Exige/Evora ?

Just spotted this on Chris Harris IG, so they're obviously in filming for the next series

This is a fascinatingly geeky twitter account. A relatively recent illustration of manufacturer profit margins here:

Oooooh plot twist!!!!

I committed to a deposit on feb 1st, in order to beat the rush when reviews come out. I've been prepared for waiting between 60 and 100 weeks so trying hard to remain emotionally detached for as long as possible !!! I only hope TG do a better feature than for GR Yaris, i found that very...

When I was eagerly awaiting information on my current car, the GR Yaris, certain journos including Chris Harris tweeted teasers prior to the review embargo. Waiting is so painful! It's like being a kid waiting for Christmas day again !!!
