    I would have automatically defaulted to a red interior but the tan looks the absolute bollox 👍 Very smart indeed

    Elan Sprint

    As Tom mentioned the word Elan I thought I would post a few photos of mine in build. I am waiting for the seats to be completed but otherwise its about done. My garage extension is not yet complete so I'm not pushing for completion just yet. It has cost a small fortune and its not 'standard' if...

    A unicorn joins the stable

    I might be wrong, i often am but im sure Hendy’s had a military green 430 auto in stock just as i put the dipper on the unseen emira. That auto must be a rare beast indeed. I looked at it more times than is healthy for a ‘sensible’ chap my age 🤡

    V6 auto gear box

    I don't see that happening chap. Thankfully 🤔 I specced and locked mine before I found this forum It would be nice to have a test drive but if its like the Evora i'm sure it will be mega. I have reservations about the rev limit and the exhaust sound but in time those can be resolved after market...

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    Absolutely this ☝️ there must be thousands worldwide. And If anyone missed my post in another thread they have stopped production to sort it out. Sound familiar... I saw a post suggesting the price of the Taycan being inflated. New no but used maybe but probably not in the UK. I maintain that my...

    V6 auto gear box

    it has been nearly 3 weeks since the email from CS promising to be in touch in 2 weeks re build/delivery/next stage in the process. As there has been no such contact I emailed Friday for an update. Anyone else had that email over two weeks ago and got the same 'Fanny Adams'????

    Depreciation/Appreciation on New Lotus Emiras

    I have not 'lost' it until I sell it or roll it in for another. Just saying that was what I faced had i traded now. When I say lost I mean the scum bags in westminster lost it so not so bad really....

    My early Lotus Emira impressions -Dislikes, surprises and some myth busting.

    and the shift sound, the shift speed, no clutch replacement bill to worry about, the blip on downshift, the rarity, annoying manual owners who think they are right about choosing a manual, chuckles then rolls eyes. I remember as a kid giving my uncle some sh!t about adding water to his whiskey...

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    It seems I am 'lucky' not to have had heater problems with my Taycan. I have it on good authority that my dealer has about 50 in a compound all dead until parts arrive. Production has now stopped in an attempt to fix issues rather than build them in. Grim. I just looked at trading mine for a new...

    earlier delivery due to cancelations

    steering wheel might just be on the 'wrong' side......

    Type 133

    Just be mindful of the number of Taycans that are out of action at the moment. Hundreds world wide (maybe more) with failed heaters. Mines lunched a set of tyres in no time at all with no real explanation and the Dealer not giving two shits about it, something is affecting the charging, the...

    Is there a Magma Red V6 1st Edition for Sale - UK?

    Ahh ok if you are coping post 720 then i can stop panicking for you 😂👍

    Actual 0-60 Times?

    I feel 0-60 times are a bit 'top trumps' or 'pub talk' and its a shame a car might be judged by such. I recognise that to some its important, each to his own. The slowest car I have is the Elan Sprint and is by far the most fun to drive and very comfortable on long runs. Next is the Exige as its...

    Is there a Magma Red V6 1st Edition for Sale - UK?

    Are you really sure????? Have you had a test drive in the Emira??? Probably a bit underwhelming coming out of that humdinger

    V6 auto gear box

    Upshifts on a DCT will be 'better' as the technology is bonkers in comparison but with complexity usually comes the issue of cost to fix if it goes tits up. I know a guy with an S5 V8 thing just out of warranty. Auto box problem. It worked fine just got the error. Main dealer estimate £7k. His...

    V6 auto gear box

    Also I forgot to mention some of the cockwombles making comments on the vids regarding the shift speed/delay from paddle to shift. Probably makes hardly any difference for road driving and still is faster than a manual cog swap. I mentioned this ages ago on another thread but I spoke with a...

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    This is the drum I have been banging for a while admittedly not so well and concisely put! We only have to look at the mountain biking chap* who collected from the factory. Lotus must have been wetting themselves at last finding their holy grail customer who obviously knew so little about the...

    V6 auto gear box

    Heres quite a long vid of auto blip on downshifts I would have preferred a longer spell of giving it the beans all the way up the box. Stick with it and he does open it up a couple of times
