Do they still offer the black pack with the black cars? Presumably there'd be a subtle effect without the fleck.

I like him in general, and find his videos interesting. That said, he does sometimes tend to hyperbole, and even conspiracy. Other videos have included recently suggesting that he is going to be banned from China for life and he's in danger (!) simply because he didn't want to go to their...

did anyone else cringe every time he downshifted the manual car?

Went hiking. Not the usual car in a national park, but big enough for hiking boots and a backpack…

I ordered some. They were great to deal with, and seemed perfectly happy to leave me a cut out so i could use the cargo net. Then they showed up with no cut out. They asked a half-dozen times for the same info: what was wrong, what did i mean etc. The amazing thing is that they replied to the...

Osmium is very blue to me -- similar to the honda blue-silver of the 1990s. It's a relatively "cold" silver too. Nimbus goes the other way -- more towards a flatter clay colour and sometimes looks like pewter. Much warmer.

Im planing to as well. Pretty sure I’ve seen you on the gw. Mine is nimbus…

Not looking to misbehave on public roads at all. I just found it interesting that some sources (including a corvette historian in a book apparently) claimed it was a design feature of the car. As an aviation fan I find the whole stealth technology / radar cross signal thing fascinating and I’m...

Came across an interesting couple of threads and videos on the C4 Corvette, and how it was in part designed to not reflect radar. Seems like this is a mix of composite body and angling of large flat metal things like radiators. Got me to wondering about the Emira, which also is composite and has...

Metro DC too, Nimbus / Tan. Concur with @Medic518. It's a great combo and the interior is lovely.

Interesting to see where the snow gathers. Says a lot about the aerodynamics.

Fair. I love that one of your watches is timeless! (I slay me)

There’s something amazing about this colour at sunrise / sunset.

Is it a noticeably different feel from the traditional LSD?

Started it (it lives in condo garage and there’s a lot of snow on the roads), let it warm up while I did some errands around the garage with trash, recycling etc. Then I put it in first and pulled into an open area. Cleaned the leather and applied leather conditioner/ protectant. Listened to a...

Can this simply be the throttle's sensitivity?

FWIW, during the Lotus Driving Academy at Hethel I hit 138 on the back stretch. That was on a former test mule touring suspension car. In touring mode, it was pretty solid. That said, there was a lot coming at me.

homelink is on the mirror so it's not that...

There was some speculation early on that the parcel shelf space in the Emira could easily house a battery pack, and that would make both a very fast car and allow to bridge to full electric. I think this is a good sign. It also sheds light on how international a company this is.

Imagine the story he's got for his buddies. Any damage?

Getting a coffee before sunrise

In terms of my own experience, it feels like a much more capable NA Miata, or my old RX8. Similar engagement and predictability and playfulness, albeit with a much larger envelope. In terms of what I tell people, I feel that the best description is that it drives like an excited terrier chasing...

@silent cilantro are we awaiting critical mass for the next round of production? Just curious re timing.

Nocturnal emira

I'm still good with the slightly older tech

And Ferrarris at least have a flattened "pinched" portion of the shaft that interacts with the gate.

Errands…

Spoke to the GM of Lotus of DC the other day, and he mentioned having several I4s coming he ordered on spec. Might be worth contacting them to see if something like this is coming.

Interesting. Perhaps we could argue it's corrosion...

I' love to get a user maual and service -- USA. LMK please.

Always great to hear. And yes, the real-world pace this car can achieve is on par with supercars. I presume it was your Emira? Title might want an edit...

Saw it at the factory. It's a lot like the fabric Audi uses on their standard cars. Pleasant enough, but not special the way Alcantara feels.
