I agree Vegas is a none sensical comparison as you put 100k down in vegas and if you loose, you LOOSE ALL YOUR MONEY... it is virtually impossible to loose all your money on the Emira, it surely CANT be that bad! Harry seems to be enjoying it, took it to Italy and although there will surely be a...

I love it, I would happily do that, if it didnt cost about 5/6k .... it looks great IMO.... live life on the edge....

yes, but you /we have been waiting a while for the call, NOT as long as some.. are u home delivery or dealer? I am 100% dealer as I am not going all the way back from Spain to find the car has issues, which i HOPE the dealer would pick up on and deal with before I ever go back to get the car or...

By the way... NImbus, Sport (for heaven sake!), Tan, hairs get everywhere, and concentrate.. To answer your questions, although I fear its way too late and you have gone DV... hope not

I believe, but I MAY be wrong, that having it delivered to a dealer may add a tiny potential delay as the transport company contacts them, via lotus of course, to ask them what dates work, and hence you miss that step in a way.... and if the dealer doesnt answer them immediatley, then a small...

are you going to continue answering your own thread, or can someone else have a moan? haha Im guessing this rate is not the highest of the car companies.... BMW higher? Porsche? If so, then can complain, but well..... could be and will no doubt be worse next year. Hope your car gets to you...

have you called to see what the delay is?jimblob says he was told a part was missing on his, probably only 1 in 10 CS people would tell you that, the rest would just say.... soon...shortly.. i may call tomorrow to ask...its friday, why not

yes about the same time as it would take to disassemble it ... sorry, but mine has been in production for 3 weeks now and no time given for delivery yet. You will be lucky or unlucky..... no good clinging to how long it should take to build as it simply isnt working like that..... its lotus, be...

I have.... but I refuse to tell you anything, its really none of your business and I think you... sorry, thought I was talking to someone else there for a minute. As a very fast (pun intended) comparison, the Evora feels quite a bit more raw and viseral. It feels faster in virtually every way...

sorry but its higher than that and quite a bit. The evora is a good bit higher, 120 at least and the emira is not far behind it.... 100 it is not I can assure u. Why not ask some of the current owners.... better to get an exact answer....

believe me, I dont find anything strange at this point.... not as a Lotus customer anyway.... I still think I will get my car before xmas, so not too worried and I am kind busy from the 10th to 25th so... Ok, Im gonna call them now and say whyyyyy did brooksy get his and get them to change it...

no, no such luck.. had my checkout email before u i think..few days week last monday... and no call yet..so yes, lucky... shows they are not 30 day deliveries ... home or dealer..?

its now... NO RESERVE.... so either it passed the reserve, ie retail price before extras of 76, or, they convinced the seller to remove the reserve, to encourage more bidding..... Still 4 days left....

I dont understand the 86 and whats more I dont understand you, as you speak with a heavy highlands accent, but most of all as you got my red car before me.. haha.. glad you are enjoying it!..... been out in the wet? which tyres.... any "moments"/?

I did the ID check yesterday also... so the race is on with a real competitor at last... software worked for me on my phone, but not the webcam, but its not belonging to Lotus of course, an external company that does it. I have not asked if my car will be december..... is it worth asking...

exactly what I have been saying all along... but then the recently departed leonard and others dared to disagree with me.... what a nerve people have, really..... haha

I would certainly like a reserve of about 85 so as not to run any risks, since if it went for 81, Id rather keep it and sell it next year for about 76... dont think they will drop too much now they are pushing waiting lists even longer>

As our friend said, you cant just decide your own reserve, if CCars dont agree with it, they wont list your car. I have had 2 cars they would not list. My bowler 90 defender I wanted at 40... they wanted 36... I sold it on autotrader for 50.... Westfield same story and my porsche currently...

I can tell you its not.....its close to MRSP.... I still maintain I am not the same Gary...but its no where near 90.. nor 85......

yes...but we dont know what road it was on...how clear...or how far his foot was to the metal as they say... but this is NOT a quick car...we have established its not a track rat....

still not reached reserve which is probably 80.81

no your not being unfair, you have a right and your dealer who makes their living off selling cars to put food on their families table, have a right also..... Its a poor show and it runs right through the globe...they do things when they want and without informing most of us when and why....

yes, as long as you bend them about 180 degrees ;) doesnt make much difference to my game, may improve it

11th Dec... 7am pickup.....

I am a bit surprised that when they launch the car, they go to great lengths to be very over the top, dancing girls and light shows and all things that look quite cheesy IMO. However, the first UK car handed over at the factory and its presented and written as if its an obituary ... What is the...

the only thing I would add here *actually not the only thing, is that I for one dont trust all those figures...and we dont know what they mean 100% Cars out, means what? out the door and shipped, off the production line and into QC and maybe have to come back again, off the line but still with...

you should contact lotus directly, but Im guessing at the moment you would have to buy it else where and import it

The first 5 odd cars sold wont have much effect on anything as even the 1st 10 can be put down to many factors, plus or minus.... Wrong time of year.... rising interest rates..... having the latest thing down the golf club.....filling a gap until they get the super car they ordered. Only when a...

yes a trade seller in nuneaton .....

dont know if dealer or customer... but is having fun regardless

now at 73000 JCB automotive? Ive not been bothered to google them, but would seem to be trade.... Also the seller says "garyslotus" but its not, well I mean, its not mine ;), I leave yellow to the slightly older, 2nd late mid life crisis buyer. Im all over the boisterous, yobbish zeneca blue...

just changed today..... For buyers, the premium has been raised to 6% globally, with VAT payable on top for UK buyers (meaning a rate of 7.2% applies). As with sellers, all buyers will become part of Club CC and be eligible for benefits that will be announced soon

well could be he lied, could be he didnt place the deposit at all, but one of his many assistants did and they dont know when..... but if this means his car has a couple of faults they "may" have sorted by the time I get mine, which will actually be at the same time, then I am all for him going...

and as I said, its what they should do..... what harm to them if they bought 5 10 cars to keep residuals high, its pocket change and could help the brand a great deal and prevent cancellations etc.... I am surprised they dont do it, but they are not that imaginative and have no control outside...

he said he placed his order 2 years ago...... I dont like him or have any interest in him or his cars... but if he did place his order 2 years ago, then he is far more entitled to his early car than uncle Harry

The last 30 minutes of these auctions are when most serious buyers come in, depending on how high it has or has not got to at that point. It would be quite normal that if it was at 90k 30 mins before, it could easily be over 100 at the end and the end keeps getting prolonged each 2 mins, if...

I think its 5% and a maximum of 5000.... What we should all do is chip in and buy these first 4 5 cars..to protect residuals ;)....

did you not see the bbc today.. UK swapping to drive on the right.. you will be fine... ;)

take that Harry..I got to drive my car in the factory....! I didnt like the look of that ORANGE elise at all...with the hard top.... not for me

well....lets see Mr Toronto... MOST paitings and MOST watches are crap.... so they dont appreciate at all and no one appreciates them.. I am talking about a select few cars and comparing them to a select few watches and paintings etc.... the collecting cars car is already at 70k..... it will...
