    Phone call from lotus

    I'm not sure that's completely accurate. I've had the call, placed the 2nd deposit, visited the road show at B&C, but haven't seen the October update. I control my spam filters, and the only thing from Lotus sent to my domain in October is a reply to a question I had. If I were closer to...

    Drive Modes explained and Lotus Dynamic Performance Management

    I agree, it would be nice if all settings etc can be remembered. My wife had a 3 series that used to forget the climate control settings every time we started up. That annoyed me. The sport button is only a little press, but....

    Drive Modes explained and Lotus Dynamic Performance Management

    The Evora starts up without sport mode by default. Pressing it is part of my routine!

    Which alloy wheels will you choose?

    Thinking I might change my mind to that too. Looks V good!

    Phone call from lotus

    Depends on your definition! If you can get in and out of a sports car, can drive it as it should be driven, don't look like Mr Magoo, then all is good.

    Phone call from lotus

    My Evora costs me £225 a year without a tracker. The tracker made no difference. I think the fact I'm an old fart makes all the difference. No grey hair though!!

    Phone call from lotus

    I only ask because when I looked at a tracker for my Evora, insurance companies said it would make no difference

    Phone call from lotus

    Great to hear! I too buckled on the phone call. Had every intention of the I4, then in the call said, go on then. Is the tracker worth it?

    I'm with you @TomE, Hoping for within the first couple of month, AND a factory visit would be very nice - would love to take my father! I feel a Newlands Corner vist in late spring might well be on the cards!

    Hello!

    I'm with you, I think the touring suspension is for me. I will track it, but it's predominantly a daily drive.

    I'm going to a small development of luxury houses today. I might, or might not buy one off plan. There is a new show home that's just opened, and I do expect a full 7 course meal to be served in the dining room. How else would I gauge the ability of the kitchen? Along with the other 300 people...

    Lotus Emira Launch Bahrain + pics

    Thanks for sharing @Emira Bah I saw the other one yesterday here in the UK. Lots will probably agree that the ride height is very different on the one you're seeing. Some might not like that, but I am personally quite happy about that. My drive slopes to the road and I'd have a very real...

    Sheng Yue Gui is the CEO of Geely. He would, you hope, know everything. TomE knows everything it seems. My Cluedo logic says TomE actually Sheng Yue Gui!

    I was there also. My first time seeing the car in the flesh. It is stunning. Things I have noted are, less room behind the seats than the Evora. This is a good thing for me - more room in the cabin. Easier to get in and out of the car, I feel this was because the sills are lower than the...

    Dark Verdant and.....

    I'm off to the road show tomorrow morning. I've configured the Dark Verdant, lower black, black wheels and black interior. Yellow calipers. I can't bring myself to have anything other than black interior, don't know why. Anyway, I'll report back on my visit, and whether the car there changes my...

    I'll queue, but I won't queue for that! LOL, the world is going mad. Electric car drivers are getting smug, while us lot are buying the last petrol motor from Lotus. You gotta have a balance!

    Daily Driver?

    I will be. I currently use my Evora as my daily drive, but I need to give it a rest and some TLC.

    Phone call from lotus

    That picture was on a new tablet? Yikes! Agreed, they weren't able to answer much. I'll be trying to squeeze a few answers from the Lotus reps at the road show. Would like to know how many FE's they are making.
