In the modern era? Nothing comes close imo. But these get me going.

Keep in mind, 718 is discontinued after October.

This looks great

Good taste in kit too, I have the Mini 4 Pro and the FX30.

OP I'm happy to spend time driving your Emira 40 miles. I've put 11,000 on mine. Will respect all break-in protocol. Offer is real and stands.

Exceptional taste on display here. Really love all of the mods. What are you shooting with? Photos are lovely too.

Do you feel like your clutch pedal vibrates through the handshake?

It's definitely coming from the engine bay.

I've done the North Coast 500 in a Caterham! Amazing route. Was fun to be "one" with the elements, since the Caterham barely isn't exactly weather tight. I hit Applecross as well, but missed Skye. So I do need to go back. I've also done the Cheddar Pass, and I've been to Hethel a couple of...

Amazing. Thank you! As we get closer I’ll pick this back up and propose some specifics.

It’s weird I’m noticing if I downshift to 2nd on a straightaway it doesn’t make a noise. It’s only when downshifting while turning, like around a rotary or turning down a side street.

How about a vibration in the clutch pedal? Now of course I’m paying attention to any little thing, and the pedal does have a bit of a vibration to it at when engaging.

Hello! Starting this thread from the Ode to Roads thread at the recommendation of @virtualmacho ! This year I am traveling to a different destination around the globe each month to drive epic roads, a hobby I call Getaway Driving. I'm planning on visiting Japan in October. The reason I was...

Now that nice weather is here in the northern hemisphere, I'm reviving this old thread with some new energy. I'm going to be heading out on the trail this year and bringing a new focus to "Getaway Driving". Sharing a little preview here: Would love to meet up with anyone along the way...

So I have this noise that happens when I am downshifting from 3rd to 2nd, when the clutch begins to engage on pedal release. It’s a brief… resonance sound. It’s not a squeak, and it’s not a rattle. It could be a metal-on-metal sound of some kind but the best description I can give is maybe a...

I've done it. It's 4 sessions: Skid pad, brake avoid, and two "open" track sessions (the layout is modified to slow the track down a bit). Great fun though. They give you some scoring on your skills and try to coach you up a bit if you need it. I definitely murdered a cone or two doing a slalom...

Will cross 10k today 🙌 Car continues to be amazing. No meaningful issues.

It looks great. I think the GT4 front splitter would really help balance it out.

I've certainly been approached by a lot of curious Porsche guys out on the trail.

Brings it into “but we have a Lamborghini at home” territory for me. It’s too much.

Lost me at hybrid. Lotus isn’t making a hybrid ever. That’s a ton of R&D they haven’t done.

I like the Theory 1, but the Caterham Project V is only 2,620 lbs, vs. ~3,500 for Theory 1. That's a pretty big difference. Project V has a 55 kWh battery vs. the Lotus 70, and only 276hp vs. Lotus 900+, but I think the Caterham is a bit truer to what Lotus has traditionally been - less weight...

I think we're getting a preview of the 135. I've seen enough. Yes they delayed the 135 by a year but they also said they'd show us something this year. So I think it's a "concept" instead of the production intent, but it's clearly an EV sports car, and there is only one EV sports car still on...

I was also thinking this was the bespoke program but now I’m wondering if it’s actually Type 135. They did say Type 135 would be unveiled this year.

I think the KEF system has a really narrow band of frequency that sounds good. Every once in a while it "likes" a track that I play, in the sweet spot of its range, and sounds great. Most of the time though, it's far from great. And it feels underpowered, I'm over 3/4 volume to hear anything...

I also have this. It sounds like it’s coming from inside the dash. I sat in the car for 30 minutes today with everything off, and the car did it 3 times.

He's saying electric Elise isn't possible right now, but that's not what Type 135 is anyway. Type 135 is electric Emira. I think he's just saying the EV sports car will be heavier than people prefer, not that it's not possible.

The biggest problem I see is that people have no idea what Lotus is and think I’m driving any one of the other cars on this list.

My car is parked 5 levels deep in an urban parking garage. There is no data or satellite signal down there. If it needed a connection to start it never would.

Nimbus After Dark

Fantastic clear video! Thank you, this will be very helpful. Would have loved to see the oil change as well.

Update on this, the issue mostly went away for me. I was not a believer in the gasoline theory but starting with a tank of Mobil 93 (what I normally fill it with anyway but this was a new station) the issue stopped. It has happened only twice since (over ~3 weeks) and one of those times the car...
