Me too… deposit morning 8th… now Jan delivery and they seem ok with me being out of the country for most of the month, which was worrying me. They will call me end Nov re checkout process. Still no idea on demo car dates

Didn’t the video last week also say they were honouring pricing?

my benchmark is also now a Macan GTS, so I imagine any old £$%£$ is likely to be more exciting to drive!! not keen on paying north of 100k for such a common car though...

philistine!

A gt3 is nothing like a gts though! I’ve had a palmer sport jp3 on a track a few times and it was amazing The gts was refined, relatively fast and comfortable… but a detached and uninvolving drive… the interior a little staid. Got back in my old model vantage and grinned from ear to ear on the...

I really hope the porsche isn't another level, as I found the 991 GTS incredibly dull!! If the emira doesn't float my boat after the test drive, I'll probably go 18 plate vantage

actually it was a blessing in disguise - I immediately [well perhaps after a few days of seething at myself for being such a dumb ass!] lost all the prissy inhibition that can come with a new car and just enjoyed it!

Yeah good call… not sure I want a drive back from hethel in Jan anyway as my first go in the car! Too much opportunity for unwanted mischief. Picked up my new M3 and immediately got lost in Newcastle… ended up in one of those horrid corkscrew ramps into a car park. Kerbed the alloys within 20...

I can see this is heading right into my car delivery window is whilst I’m in Oz for a month and oh sorry sir that’ll be Q2 23 if you can’t fly back to accept handover. Heaven forbid I might have to let a friend pick it up 🥺

I was early on the first day of goodwood, which I think could have been the 8th

Just got the protect email! Hopefully that means something is moving I imagine it will be followed by an email at the end of the day saying I’m delayed til Q1…

When was your deposit?

Depends what floats your particular boat I guess. I did my old vantage back to back with 991 gts on some country roads…. which is where I like to drive… found the gts dull - although most people seem to rate it higher - and kept the vantage I did find the v8 howl vs the comparably boring...

Well surely you’re going to want to compare your likely future car against your current, regardless of how fruity they are?!

…. Whilst snowboarding!! I will confess at this point I may have had a decent glass of 🍷 already!

Benchmarking kind of means comparing to something… well… comparable you know… like another car!?… Any way it’s gonna knock yer feckin# socks off I reckon r8 or no r8!!

Kind of agree but I’m sure this doesn’t make any sense… what should I be benchmarking my feelings against if not those that come from driving another car? Dancing? Being drunk? Snowboarding maybe is vaguely in the same ballpark…

More like a Special FU!

That’s almost too weird to respond to… my mate from when we were both 15!

I’ll believe it when I’m sat in the f&£&/ and not before….

Whilst I’m feeling similar, I think the new Vantage is a total hash inside. I was horrified at the launch compared to the beauty of the older car… which to be fair the older car had a shit sat nav and the gear stick got in the way of some of the controls…. 😉 The way it looked on my drive though! 😍

I won’t believe it when I see it!

I think they are for another forum!!

This feels a bit like the story my 15 yr old school friend used to tell about when he got laid. No one believed a word 🤣

I reckon they should call it the Esla given the photos…

Beautiful spec. Properly jealous. Enjoy!!

Wow! I had an e92 m3 for 3 years and got back 60%… the E92 was a cracker though 😃

In deposit order = whichever order China / or a roll of the dice depending on how we’re felling today - tells us

Seems lotus need to publish a lotus speak dictionary! Soon = not the foggiest when Very soon = we have a vague idea when, but it’s going to change Today = soon

Sounds like an embarrassing visit to accident & emergency! “Tell me again how you got the Millennium Falcon stuck?”

We’re finding it hard to get decent web developers at the mo!

Keep calm and carry on!…. Waiting…

That is ugly tho! Worse even than the cayman….

Porsche just asked me if I’d like to go back on the cayman gts list given ongoing emira delivery woes “How long is it likely to take?” “We’ve had two cars since June…. Perhaps Next June” Seems most manufacturers are in the same boat

Depends if you hang around with macho dickheads or not I suppose!

Jumps all over the place on my iPhone… what a confusing mess!

Gov website seems to indicate legislation passed late 2020, process changed sep 2021, and “full legislation” due Jan next year I read this as lotus have walked face first into a double sided sticky tape temporary approvals process through which they are one of the first participants and found...

Are you jacob Rees Mogg in disguise??!

Given the government demonstrably have no idea what they are doing and loads of brexit legislation and controls are yet to be implemented… and Matt specifically mentioned brexit, my money is on this.

I suppose it depends what our dickhead government has done with the type approvals process now we’ve left the EU! Is it sat in a to do pile somewhere along with being competent and a number of other items? Take back control baby!!!
