Scott the sales chief told me at Hethel visit that the "handling and performance are a given" he was most proud of the fit and finish and over all quality of the car.

Yes this photo is the Evija, I also saw an Emira in this colour alongside a black and white Emira that was being sent to Holland, it did not look great in the sunshine.

This colour in my opinion looks awful in sunshine on an Emira, I called it "Moccasin" colour. The Emira was next to a black and white one headed out to Holland it looked :poop: next to the black and white cars!

Yep that's the grey I saw on my visit #so happy

Shadow grey is surprisingly blue, like gun metal blue/a slab of granite for your fancy kitchen work top. Very classy/moody.

You could add the run up to Monmouth form Chepstow if its not underwater and the roadworks are completed.

I covered South Powys as a community consultant psychiatrist, great fun in my 22b until a Volvo estate pulled out from side turning without looking! :mad: https://goo.gl/maps/4UuzUAkBBihM3bd38

It was very light, which pleased me as likely to be coolest option under my harsh Australian sunshine

I wonder what tyres they will use as the car is so heavy? My X5 was transformed by Dunlop Quatromax, in fact the levels of grip knackered the suspension! I see the current Nurburgring SUV champ Porsche Cayenne runs Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres

I wasn't allowed to reach in that far incase I toppled over and caused damage, they are super protective about their customers cars! I don't know if apple carplay is wireless.

I emailed Lotus directly about extending their wheel range as its win win. They get the business and we get perfect wheel specification. they replied that they will be extending the range but not any time soon. I nudged gold/bronze to go with my dark verdant :cool:

The Perth Toyota dealership said they doubted they would be receiving any more GR Yaris now that the GR Corolla was coming, so after I had had my GR Yaris sold form under my nose (visa :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:) I had effectively been waiting 9 months for another GR Yaris with no sign of a car...

When i had my factory visit I stayed at http://www.booking.com/Share-JKQz43 15 minutes from the factory and the owner is a Lotus nut. Great place.

You are correct of course, it is a manual order because their system isn't set up and running yet. You have to be on a list to be first on the list for that particular dealership when their official book opens. They mentioned that my GR Yaris order was still active but that none had been sent...

For my trip to Hethel I treated myself to http://www.booking.com/Share-JKQz43 Owner is a Lotus nut and its 15 minutes from the factory. A really great find.

Perth doesn't see salt in their balmy winters so generally the roads are really good. I am looking forward to take it out back for dirt driving, wouldn't do that in my Emira! :ROFLMAO:

TBA the dealer forgot to remind me they still had my GR Yaris deposit when they sold it from under me as my visa was the wrong sort for car finance :mad: so I just transferred the $2000 deposit. I am expecting arrouind the price of a Golf R

Hmm telepathy I have started to look at houses with 3 car slots!

I decided to save to money and have ordered a GR Corolla as my daily drive, I also bought the plate! ;) I am developing a new hobby of collecting WA bespoke number plates :ROFLMAO:

I have ordered GR Corolla Circuit edition, I hope/expect deliver after the Emira is due. I decided I need a daily drive and will leave the Emira for high days, holidays and track days.

Thank you for clarifying this as Scott was ambivalent about ADAS

Volunteering for Australian ambassador, do we get complimentary Ferrero Roche' :ROFLMAO:

Any updates on the possibility of after market rims? I think Lotus could have a wider range of the wheels and reap the benefit of the purchasers rather than going to after market suppliers.

I invested in an ELETRE number plate, just in case. ;)

Glacial Grey looks really good in the flesh. :cool:

There is a show room with seating, an Elise, Espirit and Exige and at the time I went a Senna Clay model. Maybe by the time the official tours start they will install a real car so you could sit in it. There is an awesome coffee machine too, it happens to be free.

In the show room they have fabulous free freshly made coffee of all varieties :love:

When I visited there is a clay car, i.e. solid parked next to Exige and Elise. Maybe they will put a real finished car in the front show room for the official tour?

Well it not too expensive in WA! We shall see what the on the road price is!

Yep

This was the car I tried to photograph at Hethel when Scott stopped me, he was surprised at the silver tail pipes on a black pack

I bought the plate just in case ;)

What are the chances Australia will make some progressive incentives for EV purchase? Which is best territory as it stands as WA are a bit behind the curve? Will they load it with punitive anti China import duty?

Verdant with black pack black wheels yellow calipers

That colour does it no favours in my humble opinion
