reposting from the other vid thread.... Just a thought. I wonder if it was in track mode???? Difference in sound inside is quite different - can’t comment about externally as I have never heard one drive by!!!! It also sounded like it was short shifting which it will do in tour with hardly any...

Just a thought. I wonder if it was in track mode???? Difference in sound inside is quite different - can’t comment about externally as I have never heard one drive by!!!! It also sounded like it was short shifting which it will do in tour with hardly any pedal. V6 in tour will sit in 5th at...

and I have not bothered much with the stereo at all as I'm tuned in to track mode with the windows down......

I absolutely hate technology unless its complete intuitive and works. I am very pleased with it and how it works, I actually cant fault it. I thought it looked a bit mickey mouse on the test drive but have really grown to like it. If you want something to drive you completely bonkers when the...

Chaps - the sound is an individual perception. A sample of folk, if polled, might show a majority one being 'better' than the other but if YOU like it, game over. None of mine sound 'shit'. The Esprit is a 4 cyl 2 litre Turbo (it's a GT3 so not a 2.2) and that sounds like an older Audi 5 pot...

Flat refused to do it and my local guy said its not unusual, several manufacturers do it too? I checked out in April

Lotus WILL NOT send a external finance company an invoice. Been there tried that. Its a closed shop. Cash or their finance option. I was going to buy mine outright but 2 years on the world for me had changed so financed some of it. I had a guy i know sort it for me but when it came to the crunch...

because the auto is best by miles :cool:

yes but I would rather be seen getting out of a sheep than one of those things!!!

Brilliant. Tired eyes Ahem. Shifting yourself

Be interesting to see if you could do better shiting yourself rather than leaving it to the 'brain'. It might just be me but giving it the beans in my auto right to the auto shift point seems like wasting time revving it where the power is starting to drop off? I also noticed it seems to hit...

I was told at the factory the China cars are 400hp

well owning now x 4 Loti 3 manual and the Auto Emira I can say i'm chuffed to bits with the Auto V6. Each to his own. I think the I4 will be different again and will suit another group of customers. I really do want a go to compare. I suspect the long time lack of manuals over the pond puts you...

Yep that’s it

Tom shift this if its not in the best place. I got mine today. Very nice touch and defo seems to me on the coattails of the same thing Porshe do with their key box/photo frame and little marble desk ornament. I hope this doesn't spoil the surprise for anyone but its a nice positive thing to...

I'm at 1500 miles now and there's defo no issue with comfort at all. When i got the Esprit GT3 it had leather V8 Seats. If one was 24 stone with an arse the size of the moon then they might be ok but I was literally sliding side to side between the bolsters. They were so hopeless I had some...

all of this 👆. I really do think that if you want to use this car as a daily, in the salt wet and shite of winter and expect excellent service, go get something else. (My Porsche experience has been a bit rubbish for a car 1/2 as much again) ie I want the weather to be generally nicer...

Sheffield when i was dealing with them...

i'm trying to ignore my seats but defo what he 👆 said. Stinger were better than the 18 way ones in my Taycan but the Taycan seats are still better than the Emiras. I had to ride round with a rolled up towel in the Taycan until I got used to them. But its not worth cancelling the car because the...

it was me and yes Sam said thats the UK supplied number, I think built March time this year? I dropped my daughter at her Prom last night and left it idling for a while. Moving off it went into restricted revs/limp so I parked up turned off had a chat with a mate (doing same drop off) and it...

Klucking Bell !!! that gave me the willies

Emira and Taycan (full of kids and luggage) convoy on way back from a wedding in Lincoln to call in and hopefully not miss too much.

thats completely grim. There was a large 'industrial' style marquee back down to the right adjacent to the track. My memory is pants but it looked huge with maybe 2 or three ridges ie 2 or three marquees joined together.

Stupid suggestion (maybe) but is it full of fuel or have you tried adding at least a gallon? I would think you would know by now if your fuel level sensor was knackered but it could have just failed. I feared the worst and 10l fixed it........ Threw all manner of codes first time and worse...

A few iphone shots up on the Pennines this evening. I tried some zaust sound captures but the wind was not accommodating... more to follow

big time! :D Its actually Saturday but the admin of travel, kids and just general life nausea will probably knobble my chances of getting there. The last time I attended anything similar was the same event last year.................

Guys - if you are on the fence and want to have a ride along PM me and I'll see if I can sort it. I don't have a lot of spare time but its such a shame seeing a lot of pent up anxiety about 'what the car is' etc that i'm willing to help with a ride along. I contacted the factory i think just...
