I'm getting itchy feet with the delays and summer passing me by.
Slightly fueled by visiting Lotus in the Peak last weekend 😍
I should be happy as I have my Yaris, but it's more all season than ☀️ vibes.
I probably won't buy anything now as it makes no sense for 3 months or less.
Interested to know what everyone has SPECIFICALLY purchased as a stop gap though. Not your existing cars but something that you have gone out and bought to 'fill the gap' between your old car going and the new Emira purchase arriving
Photo for attention and because i may get my Rado back from resto now before the Emira and its a v cool pic ( not mine) 😁🥰View attachment 7394

Carlisle airport?

Oooo good choice. Zero depreciation, maximum fun.
Never had one always wanted one. Good???

Great fun, sold the m2c in readiness for the Emira, didn't know the wait would be so long! In all honesty more fun and sense of speed than the m2c! Highly recommended 👍👍

Nice! I'm probably only person on the planet that didn't rate his M2 Comp so good to hear 😅 I will get a Z4 with CSL wheels at some point...

I haven’t had a car for a year now it pains me every day - this Emira has better be worth the wait. In the meantime I’m clocking the miles up on this Beauty and she is FUN, upgraded some nice carbon bits lol, plenty of miles before she’s running on empty, wireless shifting of course, she’s not a V6 but her motor does purr nicely lol 😝

Couldn't stand the wait, too itchy and got this one back in March. Glad I did and enjoying it so much that I will keep it whenever Emira arrives.
Same here. Purchased the Evora GT last fall, and it shall live next to the Seneca Blue Emira whenever it arrives.

Always wanted an Elise and finally found the right one. Got this 2011 Elise SC about 3 weeks ago. It's an amazing car and I'll be keeping both the Elise and Emira. My only fear is that I might enjoy the Elise more...

Nice. How rare is the Elise in the USA 🇺🇸?
