It's good to know that it can be done with patience. My dad bought 350z new in 2003. We tried and failed to put some sort of PPF on the front bumper. That was my last experience with any kind of protective film.

The mechanical watch market is even more "interesting".

(1) The customer base has a lot of discretionary income to spend on an unnecessary luxury good for what is basically a toy car. (2) Installers that have a good reputation charge what they want as long as the market is willing to bear it. Looks like a lot of us are willing to spend...

I remember those days. We had 2 under 2. Whenever we look back at family photos from that time, my wife likes to observe that I look older and more worn out then than I do now.

Man those seats look good.

All kidding aside, and if you really only planned on using them for driving, "minimalist shoes", specifically some of the ones from Xero, would probably fit your bill. Different models have different levels of support. Some are more minimal than others. I won't tell your patients. I'm a...

Looks like someone's on the payroll of Big Shoe!

Thank you!

I think the best way to answer your larger question is to look back at your experience with your Elan and ask whether or not you’d have done it again. If yes, get the Emira. I can’t answer your questions specifically, and honestly, I think it will be hard for anyone else to either. These cars...

LHD Emira here. The clutch pedal is, to me, noticeably offset to the right. However, it’s no problem for me in driving. The accelerator and brake pedals are close, but appropriately so for heel and toe driving. They are where I want them to be in relation to one another. I wear size 14 shoes...

I dropped my car off for PPF this morning, and realized that the installer might want to open the bonnet to better wrap the film. Does anyone have access to the shop manual page with instructions on how to open it! I would like to forward this to my installer. Thank you.

Also, completely unrelated, I think y'all could do a fantastic job on custom steering wheels.

I feel like I already know the answer to my question, but it never hurts to ask! Is there any feasible way to incorporate the OEM side airbag into a custom enclosure or pod on the Tillett seat? Thanks!

I have nothing to help but that’s funny.

Thank you for your hard work, I am happy to pay upfront and have no expectation for you to front your personal money. Tell me where to send the money and I will!

You will be thrilled when you get yours. I get more and more excited about this car every time I drive it. It truly feels that special to me.

I would like to purchase the USA versions of the workshop/service manuals as well. Thank you for doing this!

Oh yeah it’s probably rarer too.

It’s far prettier than the McLaren, and the Porsches aren’t even in the same league.

The biggest challenge I have had so far is finding suitably windy and curving roads to enjoy. There aren't too many in the Waco area. Plenty of straight farm to market roads, just not many twisty roads to bomb down! I have thought about a trip to the Twisted Sisters once my break-in is finished.

I've had mine for a week now, and am very happy with my purchase. I'm just ready for the break in period to be over so I can really stretch it's legs! I have been most surprised by the public's reaction to the car. Many people pulling out cell phones and pointing as I drive by. The car...

I took my car to a detail shop yesterday to get a quote on PPF. The lead installer, who was working on a new Z06, and did an MC20 recently, said he wanted an exotic but didn’t necessarily have the budget for one. He then said, “how much was that, about $200k”? He looked very surprised when I...

I fell in love with Lotus after my wife and I rented a 2020 Evora GT during an anniversary trip. I resolved to get one after that trip. When Lotus announced the Emira, it was like an opportunity to get an Evora in an even better looking package. That trip turned out to be very expensive!

I think that overtime a lot of purity of design has been lost in the automotive world. The Emira is elegant in the same way that a Miura or Dino is. Unadorned design. Many of the newer super cars remind me of later year Countaches. Lots of strakes and louvers and wings that do nothing but...

Haven’t had the chance to wash it properly yet, but it was the first sunny day since I bought it and I wanted to drive rather than wash. Enough excuses, here’s some pics:

For me, the last pretty Ferrari was the F355. I would have very seriously considered one of those if (1) time market for those hadn’t gone crazy in the last 5 years and (2) the required maintenance was less silly. Engine out service at less than 15k miles? No thank you.

I’ve never driven a supercar, so I can’t say I know first hand. My Emira represents the perfect balance of usability, fun, and engagement. The car is very unique without being “over the top”. A lot of what I consider as supercars are not, to my eye anyway, actually very pretty. They are low...

Those seats look incredible.

Awesome! I wasn’t a fan of darker colors on the Emira until I saw yours in the shop. It looks great!

I really wanted a true “color” when I ordered. There are so many white/grey/silver/black cars on the road now. Originally, I thought I was going to order a hethel yellow with lower black pack only, just to get a pop of color. I regretted ordering the osmium until I saw it in person and took...

What color do you have ordered right now?
