your not wrong! :unsure:

I bought the number plate off the back of Scott at Hethel's enthusiasm for the 132

I asked Scott at Lotus about the availability of tyres internationally, he said that the local dealers will be sourcing the bespoke LTS side walled beauties. I am getting a set of gold rims to wear Goodyear's and leaving the cup 2s on the black wheels I have ordered. Depending on the lead time...

The most important modern feature is that it foils relay theft.

Scott referred to Atlantis blue as "Nautilus" or Dark Verdant but in blue :unsure:

Same here I am leaving cup 2s on black wheels and will run Good years on a gold set when i can find the correct fitting set.

I would buy the gold wheels, I have a thing for gold wheels!:cool:

Been a bit busy this week, feel free to contact me for a meet up over a pint to handover the magazines.

The grey option in the flesh looks lovely, muted counter point to the darkness of the cabin #so happy :cool:

if i was in a country with gentle day light I would have chosen Nimbus its a clever colour, in Perth with "barstard hot" brutal sunshine the dark verdant will look amazing, as would Magma.

FE V6 has the hardware, functionality just not initially switched on, there may be scope later to activate it. Scott was a bit ambivalent on this. I had the sense that they haven't decided yet.

I don't recall the details of the stripes on the seats, they only had cast standard wheels as these are the ones the roll the car into the rolling road, alignment booth.

Not inside the production facility as Scott was clear that was not allowed, outside there was a gleaming Hethel coloured car that looked great against the tarmac and the 3 Dutch cars, black, white and the horrible "moccasin" one. As I whipped out my phone Scott, said "put that away or you will...

I share your pain!

Its a great experience, well worth it and NO PHOTOS!

That was my impression

Scott was a bit fuzzy on whether it would be enabled,

Now the factory tour is officially available I can reveal I had the privilege of a factory tour with Scott Lotus Sales chief. I had travelled back to UK from Australia for my mother's funeral. (Great life and great send off, no regrets). I phoned Lotus who kindly agreed to arrange a tour for...

I have the tea shirt...... They role the cars on cast standard wheels not FE forged ones.

My pal at Lotus made a lot of emphasis that the gear box of V6 needs delicate slow shifts whilst running in to ensure optimum performance down the line.

Shadow Grey is surprisingly blue, like expensive polished granite as your kitchen work top. They also have non FE colour "Nautilus" up their sleeve which is clearly a bluer dark blue than Shadow Grey. It would make sense to ship their darkest colours to the middle east for hot weather testing.

The lower photo is definitely Shadow Grey, top photo looks too blue for dark verdant it could be Nautilus which they have up their sleeve for post FE cars

The top photo is a poor rendition of dark verdant in the light. it is too blue so as said before it is all in the "white balance", dark verdant is a dark sparkly green in bright light, in shadow it is almost navy blue and I imagine at night it will look black. I have ordered dark verdant and...

Under direct light Dark Verdant is a sparkly dark green, in shadow it looks almost navy blue and I imagine at night it will look black, my second favorite is Nimbus it is a really interesting colour as it looks dramatically different across the curves' and lines and so it accentuates the shape...

The rear 3/4 windows and engine bay/cabin partition are lightly smoked. The side and front windows are definitely clear. In Perth I will be looking to legally tint the front and side windows to try to keep the barstard hot sunshine out! :cool:

Nope but you also don't need a canoe!

My only key priority is that it foils relay thefts, e.g. only transmits when it is being moved jiggled and silent when motionless in your dwelling be it hanging in your trousers off back of chair or in your bedside table etc.

Yes one night next week, just seeing if Douglas Packer is in on the event, anyone else from Perth?

Best results when driving my Grand Turismo Evija ;)

With such a head of steam I would imagine opted to drop to a later car to free up your FE slot would be a formality

I am back from trip to UK and have bought extra copies of EVO, Autocar and Top Gear magazine for the other Perth based purchasers, lots to share over a pint ;):cool: I live in South Perth and work in Midland so I imagine a pub around Vic park but open to suggestions!

My connected pal at Hethel let slip that the I4 is good for 500BHP and that it has been reigned back to 400BHP for FE issues, also the I4 drive train is good for 500 BHP whereas the Toyota drive train is pretty near its limits at 400 BHP

My KEF set up is 13 channel 7-2-6 driven by Denon X8500 and Marantz MM7025 Stereo Power Amplifier. Sounds amazing! Oops wrong forum :LOL:

76 for me. :cool:

Whilst awaiting my Emira I was being chauffeured by my gender fluid service. Trans-Perth. I bought my old banger a 17 year old SAAB so I can escape public transport. I feel safer in my Emergency Department than on public transport! Another bonus is I can place my EMIRA plate on the car ahead of...

Did Lotus cancel or did the government cancel?
