Good man, I think tomorrow is going to be a good day for me

I have same issue with hill start - it seems to hold too long, and a couple of times I have ended up having to apply more revs than I would like to get moving. I’m going to find quiet place to test over the weekend to see if I can improve my technique!

If you’ve ordered DV I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. 6 weeks in and everyone loves it - never had a car before that that attracts so much attention, all positive so far

Great write up, after 6 weeks with my DV I couldn’t agree more - these are special cars 😍

Still have my deposit in for a UK 911T, but after 6 weeks with the Emira I’m not sure I’d swap, and I am die hard Porsche fan. First world problem I know, but very difficult decision, and I can’t justify both!

Can I ask how long ago you checked out? Trying to gauge if home delivery takes longer than dealer/factory collection.

That’s great news, genuinely pleased for you, and glad you like it! I’m sure we’ve made the right choice to take delivery, despite everything, and hopefully mine won’t be far behind yours🤞

Did it arrive?

Will be interested to hear what the home delivery experience is like - I’m expecting flashing lights, dry ice, and gawping neighbours ….

Checked out yesterday and elected for home delivery - now wondering if this was an error. What has been the experience of those that have gone for this option, and apologies if covered elsewhere?

Apologies, my German is rusty! I went to the Lotus website and used the chat function - was connected to an agent within a couple of minutes, and Abi was able to check the status of my order there and then. Seem to get a quicker response this way than via than email

No, but I did speak to Abi in LCC yesterday who confirmed my car will be built this month and delivered next month🤞(14th July 2021 deposit)

I think when you read above that someone is considering an M4 for the same money then yes it is

Yes, appreciate now that was a little insensitive of me 😬

Should help the used values 👍

HY cars seem to be priced lower than DV/Seneca, at least from the small sample on Autotrader at present- is that fair?

I was going to use Silverstone, but this has put me off - who have you switched to?

It’s really not difficult is it, just those little touches make all the difference. When I bought my Cayman my wife was given a Jo Malone candle. She was delighted and even now jokes about me getting another Porsche so she can have another candle.

Tom, you’re such a tease 😂

I see a Seneca Blue has popped up on Collecting Cars - currently £72k with 7 days to run

I think a few of us on here have deposits down in the UK - Silverstone have told me I can expect mine in May, although I am a little sceptical that it will be that ‘soon’ 🧐

Every cloud …. Glad you’re keeping the faith 👍

Not a priority, WTF?! Having heard this, I’m not sure choosing Silverstone for collection/servicing is a priority for me.

F*ck me, if the windscreen wipers are this complicated, am I going to need to go on a course to work the seats?

I emailed last week to ask for an update - not sure when (if) I would have been told otherwise

LCC have just confirmed (on a Sunday afternoon- must be busy 😬) that as expected my Feb build/March delivery has slipped by a month. Hopefully give them a chance to iron out some of the issues the early cars are suffering ….

I’m going Nissan Micra, but it’s Tom, so he’s probably gone for the ‘S’ ; flash git

Had a few hours to kill in St Pete before heading back to the UK, and stumbled across a car show setting up. Don’t suppose this beauty belongs to anyone on here?

Great idea, I’ll kick it off 👍

Sold Cayman late August - was annoyed when Emira delayed a few days later, but looking what’s happened to prices since it may have been good move

£18 - sorted 👍

@ Tonyshepp - You want a lot for your £80k don’t you 😂

If someone does fabricate a mount to achieve this, please put me down for one, seems like a no- brainer

I’m coming from a Cayman to an Emira (and also have a 992T on order with Silverstone). My review from the test drive thread is copied below in case of interest: ‘Not a huge amount to add after my drive in Silverstone’s Magma/ice/touring car this week. The one thing I will say is that, coming...

Knew DV & tan would fetch the highest premium 😉

This is my forever car, RHD ‘67 912 (1 better than a 911 😉) that I’ve owned for 15 yrs
