hills suck but will make you a much stronger rider ... but a good bike and proper fit makes alot of difference. Get ready for your bum to hurt for about 2 weeks if you start riding regularly but then it will go away :-0

And I want my sleep to be closer to 8.5 ... if I could get my blasted car and stop checking the forums/FB at night for any new news then I could get more restful sleep :-)))))) I'm fortunate in that most of my staff are international so my work hours tend to start later morning to early eve...

Good thread starter. For me, I exercise everyday but I want/need to get back to lifting weights. I had an accident that sidelined me for over a year so slowly ramping that back up. I have raced motorcycles for 30 years and had a real bad accident 12 years ago and I needed to fill that void of...

Congrats and good to see more continents covered :-0

I wasn't a fan of the early generation Z4 but the new ones are definitely good looking, especially with top down. I don't care for the auto trans but still a nice ride. Enjoy

Yea, the wife asking me why too ... I keep deflecting :-) I have three other cars but they are all different and unique but she doesn't it view it that way. The delay is actually a good thing as it will be about a year between new cars so buys me a little time to sprinkle magic pixie dust to...

Ok so my summary list - I will put on tint (I don't install PPF so not sure if I will get this done or not) - I will ceramic the car and wheels - powder coat the Lotus cover on the engine - replace seat belts with red ones - cat delete - black out the LOTUS name badge - still debating on black...

must have missed this about the 3rd cat delete. Definitely want to delete ... but does that mean it has (3) cats? If so then ideally I would remove all cats or maybe sport cats on the two and delete the one. I took them off my nismo altogether (so much better) and looking to put sport cats...

Haven't seen this pic before so thanks for sharing but this is one of the things I absolutely want to get done

What is it classified if I pull it out just so the neighborhood kids can drool and then post a tiktok compilation of the videos :-0

But if you time it right, you could emboss the melted gold and have the best looking trunk 'mat'

Thanks for the heads up. If the price for their Emia is about like the Evora, then even with shipping, it is about $150 cheaper than Lotus. If I could just coordinate a work trip around when it would be ready for delivery then could just bring back on the plane :-)

@Mike-engel Probably best you've stepped away as not to be frustrated with lack of proper comms from Lotus :-) In terms of where you stand, that is really bizarre as the dealership knows exactly how many deposits and when they came in. Now logic would be that they tracked and logged those in...

I installed about 1500sq ft of Swiss Trax and couldn't be happier. I'm a neat freak so epoxy floors while nice when pristine, make me want to clean anytime they are dirty :-) Now water or dirt just falls through the cracks and it looks great all the time. Twice in seven years I've pulled up...

When I talked to my dealer last month, she stated that nothing new from Lotus either on time or delayed. The comment was something like, while there is no news, we are planning for 45-60 day delay and if Lotus stays on schedule then a nice surprise. That would mean a Junish delivery. Not the...

If you order at factory, it replaces the aluminum in 4 areas. Aftermarket you can get overlays or replacements but you have to tear the dash apart. I ordered my from factory and it looks good without going overboard ... just a little CF but not everywhere

Wow, some high insurance rates. But there are SOOOOOO many factors and will never be an apples:apples comparison but interesting to see the deltas. My C8 is $55/mo, Blackwing is $64/mo and the Emira is currently $70/mo if I started it today. I've been with my insurance co for 30+ years and no...

I would check with your previous credit card. Just for a reference as I had something similar happen (but not for my Emira deposit :) ) I had cancelled a credit card and then needed to receive a refund for a credit that a vendor needed to apply. The credit card company processed the credit and...

really, is it normal for manufacturers to get involved to keep prices high? curious

based on how it's been going and the #s, it seems highly unlikely you would get a car in CY2023. I hope they get into full scale production by next year and you receive but should prepare yourself for a 1HCY24 delivery. At least they should have all the bugs worked out by then :L-)

100% and suspect that '23 Xmas will be sooner as well :-0

pictures of each colour is coming .... Lotus soon

@don4v4n This is identical to the information my dealer provided this summer so that is consistent and was told as of last week that deliveries are still (at least on paper) scheduled for approx 2mo after production. That would mean Apr for me and even if it slides 1-2 mo, that is perfect...

nice write up,

Was able to see the car today (my first time) but wasn't able to get a driving slot. Weather was much better with sun/overcast so no one wanted to pass up the opportunity (can't blame them). It has presence, driving down the road it looks great and definitely has the supercar looks. I...

dang that evija is sweet

I wasn't able to get a slot as they were all full but will drop in Fri or Sat to get some pics and hopefully be able to sit in between drive sessions. Excited just to see in person finally

wow, 7.9 is crazy rate that I didn't think I would ever see in my lifetime of buying vehicles. In the US, several of the credit unions I use/used are all 5%/60mo. Going to 7.9 would be about $100/mo more but like $6k in more interest. I set aside cash in case the 2-3% that were readily...

It's why Jay Leno wont buy as he also doesn't like how the big F treats people ... I used to want to get a 458/488 real bad but even though I can get one used I don't like their policies. Will be very interested to see how this plays out

@Evotion Thanks for the vids, great to see so much in same video back to back to back. I've got magma, black wheels, and yellow calipers. I thought about getting black calipers to blend in and just highlight the car like you mentioned but I didn't want to have yet another color to deal with ...

hhahah, you know it bugged me at first but honestly I had forgot until you just said :-))) I'm sure I'll forget eventually again

I guess I can go pop up to at least see the car since I ended up having to buy from another dealer. Did they say if it is the Magma one?

I have a C8 and a FE being delivered in the spring (if no other big delays). Visually I don't like some of the lines of the car and definitely the rear end is ugly but it is fun to drive. The magnetic ride is amazing and my wife really enjoys going for drives ... not so much in my other toys...

Well not sure what to tell you but the production schedule I posted was confirmed by two different dealers that FEv6 had to be submitted earlier this year with Jun being the last month to do so. It seems odd they would be getting different treatment than other dealers.
