Ceramic coatings on the windscreen can cause the wipers to be a bit grabby until they settle in. Have you had anything applied?

You can pay both instalments on the same day one after the other. I use the same bank as you and that’s what I did. It’s not a limit per day, it’s just a limit.

That’s just down the road from Lotus Silverstone. Would make it a hot spot for Emira sightings. And the Aston Martin F1 team.

Been a while since I posted anything in here. Just coming up on 1500 miles. Mostly in rubbish weather conditions. Went back to DetailyourEyeCandy last week for a check over of the PPF. In the rain. All looks good but Elliot took the opportunity to trim a few edges that he wasn’t happy with...

I went with Alcantara with red stitching. Sorry I didn’t see you post until I put the car back in the garage and it’s fleecy cover on top. There are plenty of pictures of my car in different lighting over on my journal thread “The Full Magma”.

1500 miles in and the slight roughness seems to have polished itself off.

That is my exact spec which is parked outside my house and I have just washed it. Not quite California but it is sunny today and it looks fabulous!

In my case my bank was happy to make the transfer all in one go but the receiving bank could not. To test the process I transferred a very small amount to start with (£5) and phoned LCC to confirm they had received it. Armed with this information the conversation with my bank about are you...

Could be anything. What is the source?

There was a rumour some time ago that all cars would be shipped with black badges and the yellow ones were just for FE. Maybe why the main dealers are able to order them.

Not many caves in East Anglia. If you dig a big hole it fills up with water and they call it a broad. There is plenty of room at Hethel. From those images it looks pretty much the same number of cars as when I picked up my Emira in mid Feb. There is a big soft skin building they have...

Having driven a few miles now in not great conditions I can confirm the bonnet and roof pretty much stay clean all the time, the sides pick up a good degree of road spray and the tail looks like someone has attacked it with a mud gun! Some colours do a good job of hiding grime but Magma is not...

I have seen Seneca in the flesh several times. It’s a great colour. For me as I worked through the configurer before the cars actually appeared as soon as I got to Magma I just thought that’s the one for me. And it is! But there are no bad colours, I have seen them all up close and they all...

Makes you wonder how many posts on here are written by Human beings and how many are by chat bots. Perhaps we should have a “like” button labelled ”GPT” so we can give our view on whether a post was written by a real person or some kind of robot merely repeating what it has found on the internet?

Now I worked out what it’s doing I have found it quite useful. Coming up behind something with cruise on, a quick press drops 5 mph and a second drops another 5. Assess what’s going on and then click click back up. Alternately use the pedal to get back up to speed and a single press in the...

Looks like they took the Evora one and cut and pasted stuff from Volvo. The manual even mentions Evora at one point rather than Elmira. For example there is the confusion about the wiper stalk intermittent functions which are not helped by the fact that the wiper is not working as it is...

Agreed. I posted on this in my Journal Thread. There are a number of areas where what the car does is not exactly the same as what the manual says.

For me it all really came together at invoice stage. LCC knew I wanted it and the scheduling was all done once we knew where the car was (at PDI). Those managing the hand over at Hethel then coordinated with the PPF installer and I paid for the PPF directly at the factory, independent of the...

I don’t think the Emira has matrix lights. The last car I had with those had the ability to automatically turn off parts of the main beam when cars approached and keep the near side fully illuminated. That needed to be software switched for LHD / RHD. Emira is just LED. Earlier light lenses...

Did you sell your other Evora?

If you are anywhere near Caffeine and Machine tomorrow lunchtime (Friday) you may well spot mine.

I sent through £5 and then called LCC to confirm they had received it. After that it was easier for the bank to make the big payments. I had to do it in two chunks, not because my bank had an issue but there was some limit at Lotus end.

Contact LCC and they can arrange it. Unless it’s changed since I picked mine up, you pay separately for it when you get there.

There are two what I can only describe as hockey pucks under the nose that would act as first point of contact if you were to ground the nose. I was told by someone that Evora was the same although I don’t remember mine having them. Perhaps only the later 400 series had them.

Mine doesn’t show any evidence of waking up until I press one of the buttons on the key. Doesn’t mean it hasn’t of course but I don’t see any evidence of anything happening. The only thing which wakes up with proximity is if I get near the car with my phone which is acting as a tag for the...

That looks much cooler than I would have imagined. Very GT40. Now what colour stripes go best with Magma do you think? I had twin white stripes on my orange Caterham and they worked better than a dark colour.

Just buy a Caterham.

You can either go to Cambridge and change, or Norwich and change.

That’s where we went.

Lotus Elan. Either an S4 or Sprint. (waits for 20 posts disagreeing and offering alternatives) or perhaps an S1 Elise or as a useable road car an M100 Elan (that suggestion may be seen as controversial) Point is that pretty much all Lotus are great as they share the same DNA.

Ok. So it rained today and I have been out wiper testing. Straight out the garage mine does what the one in the video does. Normal and fast work fine. If I go for a drive with it in intermittent for a while and then switch it up to normal all is ok, but if I then switch it to fast it stays in...

I guess anything you feel sat in the car when travelling along is road feedback. If it helps, to give clarity on my statement, I am not referring to feel through the steering wheel which some people might refer to as road feedback. I am talking about the overall feeling you get in a harder...
