For those wondering about Grundy here is the acknowledgement wording which basically sums up the limitations of the policy: "In consideration of the premium charged, it is hereby understood and agreed that any vehicle insured under this policy will be used for hobby purposes and exhibition and...

So with the replacement ECUs, if you use it and swap back to stock for a service can the dealer tell?

Yeah Lotus has used 3 greens that are similar from my limited research. They had isotope, krypton, and verde. It seems they vary in metallic but in general isotope is the yellowest green and verde is the greenest green if that makes sense. Isotope and krypton are very similar Here's a pic I...

That positive side plastic piece is a pita. Its just there to stop things from accidentally contacting the terminal. If nothing is in your trunk then you should be good without the plastic or the cover. I would suggest just doing the permanent connection though and routing the cable outside...

Im tempted to go because I pick up my car from ppf on Friday so it will look as good as it ever will but on short notice Im not sure if I can peel off from my usual saturday stuff with the family.

From the Lotus release "Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will issue new shares valued at $10 per share in consideration of Geely and Etika’s transfer of Lotus UK shares. Lotus UK is valued at 1.15 multiples revenue plus cash minus debt of LGIL, based on LGIL’s audited consolidated annual...

Did anyone else get the invite for Galpin this Saturday. Seems they are doing a British C&C.

Its cool that it will no longer be Chinese owned but I think that means the financials are worse than expected and likely given the current portfolio they are still tied to Chinese manufacturing for the EV range. Its going to be rough for awhile.

Breakfast club is a Friday meetup is it not? I mean I'm down for just going to Newcomb on Sunday too if that's the plan.

chapman gets a chapman edition side badge were the FE or base badge goes. it also gets a 1 of 60 dash badge

Dodge already has claim to that. I'm not sure how old Isotope is but I know it was an Elise color back in the day. Not sure if they used it before then.

So the Chapman treatment is just the paint and badges?

Any shots of the interior. Did they use isotope stitching?

Friday morning would be tough so I voted Malibu although I work some Saturdays as well.

i got a quote for 1200 a year from Grundy.. Theres restrictions on where i can drive it but its to places i dont want to take it anyways and theres no mileage restrictions

I'm pretty sure the MSRP is in the 2.5M range which is a lot seeing as how you can pick up a 918/P1 for that right now which already has collector status.

Great color palate on that run, minus the white and black behind you in the mirror shot. Hopefully I can make the next one.

Admittedly I haven't driven mine much but the only quirks I have encountered are the alcantara needing a trim on the passenger a pillar and when I first rolled down the drivers window it rolled right back up on its own. Its never happened again so I think it may have been its calibration run...

my car is currently at the shop for paint correction ppf and tint. i wont have it back till late next week

Hmmm. Pranking Emira owners with fart sound injectors. Sounds fun.

Can you confirm if it was a different color than the 3 special colors already orderable?

I use it to initiate voice calls and navigation.

I can change the language but I would like to change my assistant voice to female if possible. Is there an option somewhere?

We're gonna need to organize some cruise nights so we all get through our break in and can start having some fun.

Rarity is only cool when the car is no longer meant to be driven. We dont want rarity for this car. We want lots of parts availability and owners right now.

the US configurator was like that for awhile but they fixed it to allow both. Although in the US the drivers pack is standard and you are just picking suspension

i made the mistake of leaving the dealer before figuring the radio out and it was stuck on npr for 20 min till i found the tuning tab.

Lotus simply made too many for the UK.

Theres probably a mix. Most cars will come in as an ordered car. Some people will take them and some will pass. Lots of people are losing lots of money in the market now so there will for sure be some orphans. I just did an autotrader check and Lotus of Woodlands put their inventory of 25s...

Still plenty of time for that ban to be rolled back.

Ugg. Wasnt this supposed to be fixed at the factory for everything past March 2024?

The counter to this is that I picked up my V6 manual on Friday and all the other cars in that delivery are now removed off the dealer site and seemingly sold already.

I would assume that the manuals are selling well. When mine came in they put it up on the site with 7 others just using stock images with descriptions. I had my sales guy pull it from the site which he did by putting a hold on it. When I picked up Friday there was a magma at the prep station...

Those have the same buttons as the Emira and seemingly the ones previously sold by GRP and Aerie. The Volvo ones 2 posts up are missing the middle buttons in the 3 button stacks.

I have an installer who specializes in paint correction so I assume he'll let me know what's wrong before he puts it on. He's installing STEK Dynoshield and I think it has a 10 year warranty but Im sure some pieces will be replaced in that time span.

How can you tell. I mean it was built a few months back. How much longer could it need. I figured I was safe now that the bubbling paint has been resolved. I also have an extended paint warranty.

Looks like Galpin has all their 2025s on at least hold now. No more 25s listed on the site. They got in 8 from the 3/17 boat. I was going to threaten to walk for a better deal but Im glad I didnt.

Gotta watch the snoot on those 2,4,6 shifts. Ive got a rescue bulldog who will get a ride eventually but not till that new car smell is gone.

They want her for 4 days. Paint correction and full ppf.
