I get mildly jealous/irritated every time I hear US gas prices... we're sitting pretty on about $7.50 per US gallon over this side of the pond, and just loving it. 😬 I have physically snorted with laughter (and whipped out a tiny violin) in conversations with friends and colleagues in the...

#forthedivers ? I suspect that joke might tank...

Bloody hooligan! :nod-of-approval:

Leave the clever lyric-based jokes to the professionals, mate... 🦆 :)

Sorry @Dragoon ... as penance, I will cancel my reservation and rejoin at the back of the queue again.

Nice! Thanks @TomE and the other mods (@supersix , @VL3X , @digilotus ... I'm sure I'm forgetting people) for keeping us on the right side of rowdy... this is definitely the best car forum I've been a member of! :D

Yeah, I was thinking of putting something like this in the boot, not as a battery-saving or anti-theft measure, but to make "ctrl alt delete" moments as quick as possible.

I've got some money right here if you can make a Hungry Hungry Hippo head :D Just kidding... or am I? 🤔

Turns out that, while some people pay for thrills, he gets his for free...

Maybe a wiring loom plug connector not secured down, just waving around close enough to something to make light contact? 🤷‍♂️ Just pop the dash off and have a look... 🦆

Yeah, I was thinking more so your could spray it outside the car, not to leave leave it removed (for the reason you state). I guess removing the whole console panel as @Jimblob describes (and masking everything up) is probably the way forward in that regard.

Is it easily detachable? Anyone game to try removing it without breaking it?

Remember... "lefty loosey, righty tighty" 🦆 :P

Not sure I'm digging that yellow detail on the back edge of the bonnet, but yum.

Bloody Californians and their need for "clean air"... < shake my head > ;)

You've already come this far with the modification... I'd go with option 2 if it were me :)

Kind of... Lotus Driving Academy | Lotus Cars United Kingdom

Also, I bet the market for chopped exotic parts is a lot smaller (and harder to move stuff) than for more common vehicles. That said, exotics are probably more the reserve of gangs that "steal to order", and ship them off whole to far-away countries. Either way, what a bunch of assholes...

They were pretty clear on where it stood in relation to feel on previous Lotus cars, but I think it was the statement that it feels about as good as a good (i.e. Porsche) electric rack that came across as faint praise. Similarly, their take on the drivetrain was surprisingly out of step with a...

Valet parking, ever? Nope! Never trusted them, even before Ferris Bueller had his day off. Pro tip: Beyond being a dubious parking security device, an inflatable doll is also useful for using transit lanes. Allegedly.

Not exactly the last word in automotive reviewing excellence, but a fun watch I found down the Youtube rabbit hole... I think I just liked that these guys were just casually shooting the breeze and having a good time :)

Thanks @Eagle7, great comparison... and I'm feeling vindicated in choosing the Viofo :smug-face:

Great news... I think we're about to get a lot more data from the UK... 🌧️ 😭

That, or they don't want to upstage the manual. Always reach for the most cynical explanation, that's what I say. 😉

Cool! Is that a Ferrari and a Black Ferrari? 🦆 :) The black one is clearly an EV, evidenced by the USB-C cable going in the back...

Speaking as a grey(ish)beard software engineer, you'd have to be a complete pillock to intentionally specify that behaviour :) "Sir, our telemetry shows that users never want to continue listening to the music they were listening to when they got out of the car, and they always switch back to...

This may sound a bit cheeky, but... will there be any vehicles giving demonstration rides? 😁 (I didn't realise Nitron was a stone's throw from me... great... like I needed that temptation!)

This was a great series of posts... thanks so much for sharing your tour with us 😄 Reading stuff like this, I am on the verge of letting myself get a little excited, as my delivery date inches closer.

Hey, don't knock it 'til you've tried it!

Nothing useful to contribute here, other than to agree this is an obvious miss on a basic feature 👎

FWIW, my interpretation of this was that they were referring to the combination of the sport chassis with Goodyear tyres with this phrase.

Just found this in my inbox as well... still trying to grok the implications. Better customer service, or worse? 🤔

... wtf did I just watch. Sorry, too dope for this bruh :LOL:

At least it was just a simple u-turn into the service bay, I guess... unless the steering pump went as well.

Bonus customer service points for the staff just cheerily waving them out the door, despite the front wheels not rotating...

Crikey... what does 1.21 gigawatts cost at today's electricity prices though?! 😅

Yes. Yes, they can.

Not weighing in on whether prices are justifiable overall, but it wouldn't shock me if a DCT fluid change was part of that. That, plus the extra faff of getting access to the serviceable parts on a mid-engine configuration... 🤷‍♂️

Oof... but not that surprising when you think about the differences in parts cost and complexity between the Toyota drivetrain and the Mercedes AMG one.
