British GT Championship at Donington Park, UK, 8th September 2024.

The grid walk vibe was quite exciting.

We were at the hairpin and watched this Ginetta with brake failure run straight on into the tyre barrier. It was actually quite shocking in real life seeing it and the bits flying into the air as opposed to seeing something like this on TV. The driver was ok and walked to the Ambulance for his...

How to get three people working on the engine before a race.

Here's a photo of the other Emira.......

I took a similar photo of that row as well but also this one of the fronts. Mine's the yellow one : ) Great to see so many Emiras at one event.

They're not seeing it as a predator 🦁:ROFLMAO:

I use one of these but I don't attach anything to it, it's just to protect the key. @Bancho Can you still buy them on their own and not in a presentation box? https://banc-tech.myshopify.com/products/keycover-compatible-with-lotus-emira-key-with-giftbox

According to an earlier post (July 3rd 2024) Lotus told SJones: “Modified Doors have been fitted at production since 14-06-2023. The way to identify if there are the later spec doors is to check the primer on the inside of the doors, to see if it’s Black/Blue is correct. If it’s white it’s the...

Were you driving down the A140 last Saturday (31/08/24) with another Lotus behind you? I half remember that number plate. Normally my dashcam gets the plate clearly but not this time.

There's a possibility of getting to yours about 3 to 3:30pm tomorrow afternoon, if that's any good? PM me your address + mobile if so. If not it would be sometime next week.

Whereabouts in North Essex? I'm in Ipswich, reasonably close. Also where are you thinking of getting the car from? Lotus Essex might drive one round if you were getting it from there.

Unfortunately this doesn't happen in the UK, only in the USA as far as I know.

I didn't think they were building UK V6's at that time? Did you buy one of the pre-configured cars direct from Lotus? If so it could have been built in 2023. I bought mine from Lotus in June and it's finished build date is in November 2023. It would be worth phoning up Customer Services and...

It's in the glass. Someone on here has changed a rear screen, not easy but doable.

Very nice but I will wait until they stop the First Edition production so that it can say 1 of 10 of this colour or 4 of 25 with this interior etc rather than the 25th to have this or that. Still, it had more interesting information listed than I was expecting so I might crack early!

I replaced my left rear tyre after clipping the only kerb for miles on a narrow UK country road! I can live with the wheel damage as I got a stone chip on one of the front wheels within the first week of getting it.

Ha, just realised you can use the repair kit compressor for just inflating tyres - I thought it was just for inserting the gunge! I had bought a Michelin Programmable Inflator with Quick Release Valve after borrowing someone's simple inflator with the screw on end which I found annoying to use.

I use a paintbrush, works so far on the small UK bugs in the corners and grill.

I agree. I stopped using Shell V-Power 99RON octane because of the spluttering starts (would run ok once started) and switched to BP Ultimate 97RON octane with no starting issues.

Went to the Lotus Factory at Hethel for "The Taste Of Lotus" with two 15 minute drives in one of their Emiras on the Hethel Test Track. There were two great instructors, one of which was Martin Donnelly. What an experience to drive on their track being first shown how fast you can go in these...

It is in the full manual early on:

Is that the year over already - I must have nodded off again.:ROFLMAO: All yellow - my favourite!
