It’s mid engine which makes quite a difference compared to conventional front engined cars. Many a new Elise owner found lifting in a bend resulted in the rear going for a walk. The Emira is no different.

Agreed. I just push the button and it’s all good.

I can guarantee you that my manual v6 Emira does not park itself. My Jaguar can do that so I know how it works. The current online owners handbook does cover a bunch of features that are not on my car (like adaptive cruise control and rear cross traffic alert) as it now seems to include the...

Interesting. On my car that button is the tailgate release. Button 12 in the image below which I took from the manual. So not sure what button you have there. According to the manual (p102 in the current online version), Lotus use the expression Parking Assist to describe the operation of...

I don’t think my Emira has any active form of parking assist. It has the guidance lines that come up in the camera view and the beeping noise of course but thats it. Which button did you press?

Will be good to meet you. Hope you can make it.

For the avoidance of doubt, meeting still on Sunday as per the information in the first post on here.

Sorry, I am busy on Saturday.

It’s this Sunday! My Emira FE 2.0 (!) will be making its first appearance. There has been a suggestion we should discuss Emira drive outs for the coming year. Come for a natter and a coffee (and brunch). Even the weather forecast looks good :cool:

Here it is in situ with the cover removed.

Go on, get an Elise. You know you want to! Now they are over 25 years old I think you can import an S1 to the US.

In the UK I don’t think any new Emira comes with a full printed handbook any more but they are easy to download.

Thanks Andrew. See you on the 28th at the South Bucks Emira Owners gathering. We can compare alcantara steering wheels!

I picked up my first Emira in Feb 2023. My journal thread is 10 pages long so you can see how much I used the car. I did have the three recall letters that most early owners received and some issues reported by others on other threads. I did over 4000 miles in my first Emira.

New Year, New Emira! I thought I would go for gloss black wheels this time instead of DC, and I now have an alcantara steering wheel which is great in this cold weather we are having in the UK as it doesnt seem to get cold like the leather one did. It also came with a small luggage net in the...

A few of us just got together through the forum and started this up. Perhaps start a thread to see if you can get a few people together in South West? Or early start and come and join us?

The next gathering of Emira in South Bucks will be Sunday Jan 28th 2024 at 10am. The new venue, the Polecat Inn, is very close to the old venue, near Great Missenden in leafy Bucks. The garden centre was getting more and more popular and difficult to get a table inside for coffee. Last time...

It seems I can’t go back and edit the first post to change the date even though I created the thread. Ability to edit must time out after a while. So I will start a new thread instead to avoid confusion.

Where does the dog go?

I think UK cars have N for region. On the basis of a sample of 2 UK cars..

A frosty start to the day. @Emirahep, @Blacksheep and I met for a good Emira oriented chat. The Polecat passed the test as alternative venue and may be used in the future.

I have booked a table indoors at the Polecat which is just around the corner from Peterley Farm. https://www.thepolecatinn.co.uk/contact 170 WYCOMBE ROAD PRESTWOOD, HP16 0HJ I will go to Peterley farm for 10 as planned in case anyone has not read this post and then we can head around the...

Just tried and nothing available until 11.45! Maybe @Andrew P has booked something? Otherwise bring a warm scarf!

Is that an expanded version of those bra things that were popular in the US for a while?

Forecast cold and misty with sun coming out about 10. Drive carefully, especially those of you on Cup tyres! Emira not with me at the moment so the green Elise should be making an appearance.

DATE OF NEXT MEETING - SATURDAY 2nd DEC - The Pre Xmas meeting! The date of the next meeting is Saturday 2nd Dec. I know these are usually on a Sunday but variety is the spice of life! Location is Peterley Manor Farm cafe near Great Missenden in leafy Buckinghamshire. Time is 10am...

I think it’s C.

Looks like it. Toomanyloti posted a picture earlier in the thread which shows one side on.

Good to see everyone this morning and welcome to Simon in his Shadow Grey Emira. We were surrounded by about a thousand people all there to pick up pumpkins! Also joined by a Lotus Esprit Turbo and a very tidy 70s Alfa. Date of next meeting is Saturday Dec 2nd at 10am. Same location. Yes...

It’s not raining so that’s ok. At least I won’t have to wash the Emiras when I get home.

Won’t be in the Emira tomorrow. Look for a big Seneca blue Jaguar. I will have four other Emiras with me though tucked away in the boot of the Jaguar.

DATE OF NEXT MEETING - SATURDAY 2nd DEC. Since we can’t edit the title I thought I would start one thread to cover all these get togethers. As suggested by @Andrew P ,the date of the next meeting is Sunday October 22nd. Location is Peterley Manor Farm cafe near Great Missenden in leafy...
