4000 miles in and still loving it. I completely respect anyone dropping out but it really is a special thing once you get your hands on one.

Just came back from Le Mans in France. I was using google maps via apple car play. I don’t have a tag. When I stopped at the barrier to pay with my credit card the route disappeared and I had to restart it. Now I know why. The tag reader must be broadcasting with a strong signal to cause that.

Emira doing good service as camp transporter. Classic Le Mans is epic this year.

1) All colours look great 2) All interiors look great 3) I do regret not specifying a wine cooler then I could have put my strawberries in it.

For the avoidance of doubt, there is no official South Bucks Emira Owners club. These gatherings are in South Bucks for any Emira owners from anywhere, and anyone else that wants to come for a chat. For example, an Elise owner wandered over for a chat today to find out more about the cars. All...

About to start packing the car ahead of a trip to LeMans Classic.

As I drove out the car park I had two Emiras in the rear view mirror which must be a fairly rare sight in the wild. By the time my passenger took these photos one had turned off.

The Full Magma was at todays meeting of the South Bucks Emira Owners.

Good to see everyone this morning. 5 Emiras at this one. Hello to Mike and Clive who joined for the first time and to Andrew and Stephen who were at the last gathering. We need a Shadow gray and a DV to complete the full set. As you can see the weather was perfect.

10am it is! See you there.

On the basis it is an AGM battery I have been charging mine using the AGM mode on the charger. The manual doesn’t say anything apart from it’s an AGM battery. I am no expert but I understood AGM battery’s charge in a different manner to lead acid over longer time. It’s one of the reasons an...

Come and have a look. Maybe you will transfer to the I’m in list? Seems there are some out there if you want to get one in short time.

From the manual. So set your CTEK to AGM.

Red: means the battery charge is below 12.4 V. It’s definitely time to charge the battery. Yellow: means the battery charge is between 12.4 and 12.65 V. It’s time to start thinking about charging the battery. Green: means the battery charge is more than 12.65 V. OK! No need for charging. Source...

I was at Lotus Silverstone during the week for some additional therapy. Will be interesting to compare notes. See you on Sunday. We can talk M100s too!

I snow foam mine, rinse, gentle hand wash with Gteqnic ceramic shampoo, rinse again and then dry with a blower. Buy a dog dryer off that well know on line site. It’s the same as a car / bike dryer but half the price.

The car should be measuring fuel usage even when stationary. If you pull up one of the trip computers and look at instantaneous fuel consumption, when stationary with the engine running it reads in gallons per hour consumption. It’s only when you pull away that the computer now has some distance...

Correct. It’s not.

Oooooh, mine only has Tour, Sport and Track. You must have one of the VIP cars if you have Race mode.

Well identified. At the beginning of WW2 there were two squadrons of Blenheims and 2 of Spitfires based at Bicester. In July 1940, the second RAF Bomber Command Training Group was formed with HQ at Bicester so all sorts of stuff flew out of there.

Only one week to go. Emira owners and potential Emira owners all welcome. Anyone on the I’m Out thread welcome to come along and see what they are missing out on. ;)

Sorry, I should have been clearer. Ignoring the range number, how much of the white line / fuel gauge was showing?

I have not really thought about this much but some cars calculate the range based on current average mpg. Not sure what the Emira does. I have filled mine up and then driven more miles than the “range” says, ie the range went down less than I had actually driven. There is of course the simple...

I have gone back to the physical tag.

Today The Full Magma is at Bicester Flywheel. No other Emiras have been spotted but many classic cars and aircraft.
