He's already on his way to confession! 😄

Seatbelts are sensitive to their orientation, so they can correctly sense the forces of stopping quickly. If they are in the wrong side of a car, or turned at a different angle, it would make them not function properly. But seriously, these people have been making cars for decades, how are...

What concerns me is that normally a manual transmission does not have an external cooler and a pump and lines. They are normally just a self-contained unit, but perhaps they are different on this car? I'm just wondering how you could suddenly lose transmission fluid like that...

Drive it home??!!

Read it a while ago, only known failure of that engine in any vehicle it was used in. I guess I don't know of everyone on here with an Emira, but I know of quite a few, and I think they all have had issues, some big, some small. Wipers, engine codes, seatbelts, list goes on. Not like we are...

Just because I am no longer buying doesn't mean I am not interested. I don't think you get to play gate-keeper on the forums, so just ignore my posts and you won't get your (overly sensitive) feelings hurt. I just feel that almost every member on here with a delivered car is having problems...

#bulletdodged Hate this for you guys, what a disappointment after all of this. I would be absolutely livid if that happened to me.

Was my guess.

Groundhog's day around here when it comes to waiting for updates

Mine will be black on black, black wheels, red caliper carbon ceramic brakes, red seatbelts. Hoping to add CF splitter and wing later since they are on constraint right now. Looking forward to it.

5VBW Nick I think? 😆

Haha, I didn't last long with the R8 😄 I miss the manual transmission too much, even though reviews said I wouldn't since the gearbox is so amazing. It is, and the car is a blast, but I want to shift my own gears and need something where my head isn't touching the ceiling. Let's just say...

Crazy the plaid is now $115k. 0-60 under 2 seconds, low 9's in 1/4 mile. Too bad they aren't fun to drive other than the party trick of launching insanely fast

Whatever forum I migrate to next, I'm bringing you for entertainment.

Doesn't match up with the numbering system on this one from a previous thread on Lotus Talk...

My bad, it is normally in the top 5-10 threads, and it somehow ended on the 2nd page, so I figured I was blocked from it to keep everyone happy. Either way, I gotta move on to other things anyway. I like to keep up with the folks on here to see the end of their car journey, whether it be with...

I think mods blocked me from the I'm in thread. 😄 First time in 25 years of forums I've been blocked from anything. Guess it's time to be "out out" from everything Lotus. Sad because this has been my best forum experience so far. Too bad the car wasn't as good.

What were you expecting? It's yellow and red

My new Ford F350 just messaged me yesterday to let me know that it will be updating (OTA) in the next week or so, and my truck will have "Alexa" built-in as a free option. That way, when I pull into my driveway, I can say "I'm home" and it will turn on the driveway lights, kitchen lights, etc...

New 75th (and final) edition coming out this year at some point, might be worth something down the line?

Mine was paid with check and returned with a check, no fees.

Plus the RS models will be PDK only from what I've read, though not set it stone I guess.

Clarifying: the Emira feels like your Hellcat or whatever your car is when revving out? Seems like a very, very different animal.

Does Deman void the warranty? Guessing probably so, just don't tell the dealer? 😆

Always looking out for me 😘

I like hearing from someone with experience and the budget to choose as he wants. I'm currently looking at a 718 Spyder with a 6 speed manual. Yes, it's slower than my R8 by a lot, but everyone who's driven or owned the Spyder says they are a car to keep.

Check back in 6-8 months 👍🏻

That is actually a cordless electric ratchet, 3/8" drive from the looks of it. Not a drill, just for removing bolts & nuts.

Bit of an upgrade over the Emira, not really in the same class I guess? Enjoy that, but I think you will miss the GT3!

I am flying to Florida for a 4 day trip with my brother in March. I have a '19 F-Type SVR convertible rented on Turo. We will be laughing non-stop at the crackling exhaust the whole time, I can just see it.

Currently 1st on a list for a new GT4, but supposedly Porsche is no longer letting people order the current one. Was offered a Spyder allocation they had, but hesitantly passed. I am waiting for my M4 allocation and already have over $5k in parts on order for it 😆 Unfortunately the Porsche...

It's all a big conspiracy! We're actually here from RennList to save the Cayman! 🥸

I wouldn't be that worried, not at this point. My concern would be getting parts for my car in 3 years.

... This is why I have a new manual M4 on order, for less, with more power and I'll be able to track the order from day 1. Lotus really hit a home run with the Emira, but it seems that don't care if they round the bases and actually score any points. @TomE has been treated poorly for a while...

How so? He was ready to get his car last July before the crazy delays started.

Very early deposit, earlier than others who have received their cars. Also would not allow him to change his spec. He also has been an owner of Lotus for years, knows Matt Windle on a first-name basis, did a factory tour before that was even a thing and is a huge part of this community. He's...

...and still @TomE can't get his car. This is what blows my mind the most. Feeling better each day about my decision.

Yes, I am over 4 hours from the dealer. If I was closer it would not have been much of a concern.

... But illegal
