yes you have to start somewhere, but WBAC at this juncture is 100% irrelevant as no one will be taking their car to them or buying a car from them. Its clear there is 0% depreciation as of now and until we have an actual add of a car for sale, we cannot realistically report any rise or fall in...

Haha. I may be born in the 70s but not quite stuck there. If we look at all porsche cars then most are macans and larger brother. So yes autos for an SUV Lost 718s are bought by old men and women so again same logic But go for sports cars and no it’s no where near 95%. We will agree to...

Hence 3 day replacement. That’s good although not good and surprising it failed ….

in this case for sure its not a specific "Emira" part..... its a Geely type part.... as they swapped many Toyota type parts for cheaper, lower quality (according to Toyota employee) Geely parts. WE need to wait and see when a head light needs replacing... or something more specific to the...

Moderator edit: copied from other thread and edited Servo steering pump added to mental list for the moment, and while you may think not a big deal, it is a very big deal if you have to drive 6/8 hours each way to get it fixed and also stay over night. Estimated cost to you, about 3/400 euros...

wow.... i wont be going for dealer collection unless I get an awful lot more than that. We are giving them money for nothing if order placed direct with Lotus... thats awful....a keyring... maybe a % off 1st service.... CS is dead

interesting...especially the back ache? I used to get this in the 235 way porsche seats, which were meant to be great, but never worked well for me, especially in the paddle shift, hence not using my left leg. Worrying build quality, shame you have no fotos, but its something people need to...

so they make their own blocks? If they do, I accept I am wrong.... but I want to see the foundry haha

Understood and all valid, I just imagine the upgrade would not have been quite as severe had you just stepped out of a 410/430. Im not trying to defend the Evora at all, just being fair.... something, to be fair, I dont generally do :). Great colour And why do you have a hose pipe wrapped around...

SO much better?? Which Evora did you have and bearing in mine this car is now 200 kilos heavier and a bit less powerful, how do you find it better apart from fit and finish? Glad you are happy with it, thats the main thing....

hes already paid now... so... haha invoice no. 12.... just a substitute for the first 11.. haha I will maybe be about 60....one off the 59ers

I thought'd I entered the wrong forum there for a moment..... went to hide the screen in case anyone came into the room. Unlikely as I live alone, but you never can tell

Yes thats right and, I dont know, and I am not going to find out, but quite possibly Ricardo's engine comes from someone else ultimately..... I mean, the most popular "Rover" "Jaguar" and I dont know what else they were put in engine, came from a US block... cant even remember if it was...

You will probably find the cost to develop an engine runs into 100's of milliones and even a billion as crazy as it sounds. One that is efficient enough to comply with regulations etc. This is why there is so much sharing of costs even with the big car companies, Mazda, ford, Renault...

yes about 250,000 euros high ;)

ok sure... if you want a porsche.. unlike in the UK, you can generally get a discount in Spain, hence shop around.. or if you actually get serious and can afford to wait, let me know and I will put you in touch with the "right" dealer.. but if you want something now.. or soon.... well best of...

Porsche Spain are having their best year ever and no cars to be had at all. Certainly not cancelled orders. No lotus dealer in madrid and no new cars to be ordered from barcelona either. If no interest in the emira in Spain then I clearly misunderstood why you would want to import one there

Well yes in theory... but if it was in your thoughts really to get an emira for here.... I still think I would order in Spain and pay 120 odd k for a new one .... you can also use it in the UK... not a big deal ..... im still not 100% sure I will keep my spanish car due next month...ish...

I dont know much but I do know that...yes.... depends which part of spain, but the registration tax is about 16% on top of the imported value. The imported value is set by tables or the invoice. Add to this the paperwork, other smaller taxes, plates etc... probably another 1-1200 euros. So buy...

doesnt look like the coupe...do they still do the coupe? was it called the coupe, that weird shape they did.... maybe this ..ie yours is now the coupe..even though its not a coupe...... anyway, what a coupe you have managed to get ..... I used to love the mini.... now after many years of...

IF the car has been registered in Germany, which you assume it has, the exporting to ANY other EU country does not just imply a registration tax, very high in NL and 16% in Spain, but it ALSO implies paying sales tax on top!!! 21% in Spain and possibly as high or higher in NL? Until the car has...

Lotus and Caterham together........hmm This is like ..mustn't say anything sexual...must not say anything sexual... nothing to say....

ive no idea....id think with the solid engine right behind there and solid floor right in front.... cant see how that area needs to flex, but I could be wrong. Seeing how lotus have been so far, I would not give them much benefit of the doubt :)

Initially I thought it was a design effect..... I would be covering that with gaffer tape once I remember how to count to 1 2 3 4 5 ... or maybe a little wrapping on top. Im not a fan of the gear lever actually. Had it in the Elise and its not bad, but I'd prefer wood or maybe even more...

probably a thin light grade aluminium .... saving potentially 3/4 of a kilo at best.... it all helps, but this is plain stupid

and what if I want some sexy time back there with the Mrs? haha...shes slim but not that slim

Thanks mr L. ok so maybe i saw it before (I haven't) and turned it off after he said "for the drivers" more than once.. and used the word cacophony, which I dont think I have ever brought into a sentence in my life, but then again I am tone deaf so makes sense. Realise this is the wrong place...

as I only use carry on, it can easilly get to 15 kilos, yes above the 10 kilo limit, but they generally dont weigh it. Ive been a few times around the world and only ever take carry on... the last thing you want is to have your case lost and trying to catch up with you.... it is a problem that...

that or a baseball bat......

wait wait wait wait... did i fall asleep? I thought he never ever released his video of test driving the car???? Cant believe I missed it.... are you sure? am I that slow.... driving maybe, but the rest, I thought not... I am with Leonard, this has to come down to attention to details, interest...

you clearly haven't met my g/f

thats great... Im all for direct selling IF they get decent people in their and an excellent system... They have not done either of these things and so many people, like yourself have to rely on the CS of the dealer and I am glad you have a good one, well done to those guys, looks like they will...

interesting question... but I think, unless I am mistaken, even if you go for factory delivery, you still choose a dealer for servicing etc so I think that may answer your question. If the dealer is willing to come get your car, then great.... if not, as they also view it as too far.....then...

well its certainly good to get a return on your investments!! excess investment in alcohol... = excess return in stomach mass I on the other hand should have abs like jean claude van damnit as I dont drink..... but for some reason, I dont have the abs either.... go figure

can we have an insight to the questions? Would be interesting to know.. remember your dealer model is very different to the UK one, they make more money and have more responsibility for sales and after sales. Im glad you got a survey, thats one step, but its a 10 step process and we would...

also maybe better traction ..... like having another 90 kilos of downforce without a spoiler

IMO the silver wheels on red..... dont work...... Black look great... ive got DC which look ok... but the plain silver.... not for me.....

yes they do..... or my grandma even... anyone could do it better... and she's dead....

Lotus...the Joke that keeps on giving..... except its not funny... I would be firing so many people .... its unreal... and I would start with @Leonard haha

Never mind the none professional ..... 91 kilos!!!.. Im not going on a road trip with you in a Caterham... I expect those 91 to be max 81 soon enough.... Never mind the good life... time for the hard truth.... If my wife got to even 55 kilos... she's be gone before the Emira.... It does look...
