Another beautiful outing yesterday; around 600-700 cars. I'm told that there were 1,150 cars the previous weekend which is a record. Will, the C&C manager, maintains order and keeps tabs on the cars. VL3X, you should drop by sometime and say hi to our Lotus DC chapter folks whom are there...

Okay, appreciate the feedback. I'll keep the DC Lotus service in mind. Could use the name of the young service tech for relationship building purposes. A little concerned about the DC dealership's longevity if they're not willing to complete the showroom - implies that they're concerned as...

I'm avoiding Philly and DC dealers based on reviews and word of mouth stories from a few folks in Lotus club, DC Chapter. I'm sure there are good experiences as well but I'm exploring other options. I like Lotus of North Jersey and bought my car there - it's just farther than I like. I only...

Anyone know of any reputable Lotus mechanics in the area? I'm in northern MD and would love to avoid a 350-400 mile round trip drive to the dealership in the future for work that I'm not willing to take on.

Power steering issue resolved on its own. Lotus checked it out (at 1k mile break-in oil change) and said I shouldn't have any more issues (no clear root cause) but if I had the issue again, to bring it back and they'd fix without charge.

Went to Hunt Valley at the end of March and was surprised to see 600-700 cars there. Apparently, when the weather is nice, the large parking lot fills up. Planning to go again next weekend, May 10th.

Count me in

Impressive - that's the highest mileage I've seen Stateside. We probably took delivery around the same time (May 18, exactly 11 months for me) and I just crossed 3,000 miles. Only issue was TPMS replacement (all 4).

Congrats and enjoy it!

My experiences with North Jersey Lotus were great, so it's a bit surprising to hear that Ray would let the customer service quality falter. Billie Stanton is the service manager - my break-in oil service and check on my power steering (failed at one point) went smoothly. They're the reason why...

Another audiophile here and I do enjoy the KEF system in my Emira. Cant talk to the Base speaker system. I have music on around 50% of the time and if I were to describe the KEF output, I'd say it's balanced, on the warmer side which is common in British speakers.. Hard to get quality sound...

I've only been to MD car meets and never seen another Emira in the wild. None have had grey interiors. Color transfer can happen pretty easily - my 2 cents.

Seeing the Artura in person, my first thought was that it looks good and has a few similar design cues as the Emira. My second thought was that the Emira looks better overall - better proportions and more alluring curves from the profile angles. I spoke to the McLaren reps for a hour and...

I can join y'all in DE or we can find a meet point somewhere in PA. I'm planning to go for 2 out of the 3 days. LA Dodgers are playing at Camden Yards and I'm planning to catch a game.

Yea, so...

Congrats and well deserved, KitKat! Glad to see a beautiful Magma Red photo taking a win.

Welcome, and congrats on your new acquisition. Was wondering if you got an FE2.0 Emira. Mine has TPMS replaced on all tires but no issues aside from that. Great car.

Picked up these Pilotis due to the narrow pedal box on the Emira and they've been worth every penny. Well made, very contouring to your foot, and great for driving.

Will be away this weekend. Have fun.

Recommend Lotus of North Jersey as one of your considerations. During the waiting phase, I switched from Victory Lotus to Lotus of North Jersey in Summit. Night and day difference: Ray, Adelson, and the guys are excellent. I mainly deal with Billie now, their service manager (very...

No mods yet - I have some plans after warranty expires. I turned the car on tonight and everything was back to normal... No idea what the temporary glitch was all about but I hope it doesn't happen again.

I turned my car on yesterday. It started in Touring mode like normal, but when I went to switch modes, the only mode on the screen was Track. No Touring nor Sport modes to be found (like they dont exist). And once I switched into Track mode, I was stuck in that mode. Restarting the car hasn't...

Another beautiful day yesterday for a drive over to Hunt Valley, MD. Alongside the Emiras, some notables were an S1 Elise, a 1950s Elite, a 1971 Elan, and a 1993 Espirit in red. All in all, around 300-350 cars, a few dozen bikes, and some "others," i.e., military vehicles with turrets.

Congrats - well deserved. If future months produce competition like this, we all win...

I'll be at Hunt Valley C&C tomorrow morning 7:45-10:00am if y'all are interested. Weather looks pretty good. Others from the Lotus DC chapter will be there. Hope to see you there.

4 months, 1,800 miles, all smiles. Every penny spent was worth it and it feels like I'm dating a first love all over again. With the exception of early TPMS replacement, car has been flawless. My daughter and I share a twice/week joyride to the local ice cream shop and my 7 y.o. son is trying...

I'll put a good word in for Piloti driving shoes like the other forum member. I wear size 11.5 Icona model and have no issues because the shoes are very contoured to your feet with a smaller sole than a walking shoe. That should help you.

That's what happens when you forget to detach your red lasso from the sky

If that's true then Russell's team did the front and Ben's team did the rest, because the most aesthetically pleasing section with the most derivative DNA from the Evija/Emira is the front "hood" area.

Lotus Philly and Lotus DC are the same drive time for me (1 hr+). Is there anyone with experience at both dealerships that would recommend one over the other? Seems like VL3X vouches for Philly/RDS. My go-to is Lotus of North Jersey and, while they're great, they're also far (2.5hrs).

Meant to post sooner - I'm in Havre de Grace, MD, a little port town in Northern MD. I'm 20 min from both Delaware and Pennsylvania borders and 70 min from DC. I attend 2-3 cars and coffee events/month, usually the Bel Air, MD with 100-150 cars and the Hunt Valley, MD C&C a few days ago which...

Glad I was able to make it today. Threat of rain reduced the turnout but there were still 4 Emiras (Osmium Silver, Nimbus Grey, Black, and my Magma Red) alongside a S1 Elise, a right-side drive 1970 Elan S4, 1984 Espirit Turbo in Essex Blue, red Evora, and a more recent, dark blue Elise (see...

Assuming the weather looks good, I'm thinking about going for the first time next Saturday, Sep 7th. Anyone interested to meet up? Date & Time - Every Saturday from 8:00-10:00am. Some choose to arrive 7:00am or earlier. Location - Hunt Valley Towne Centre (50 Shawan Road, Hunt Valley, MD...

Lotus of North Jersey: $349 labor for ~2 hours work, this is on the high side. Mobil1 oil cost is the same if you buy from Walmart (Euro car formula), no issues there.
