I quite fancy the book, but I expect I’ll get the journal. Does anyone want to swap their book for the journal and another key chain?

 

[Zardoz]

By the time I get my gift it will down to some green & yellow paperclips, a ream of Lotus letterhead paper & XXS tee shirt

 

[KAR120C]

I got mine today. It had an ink pen and journal. Somehow they know us old guys. Young guys got a nice coffee table book with history of lotus. I got a diary. Because really old people used to keep diaries.

Dear Diary: I received a nice ink pen today. I shall use it to write in you every day.

 

[dgrace]

The diary is to mark the days until your Emira arrives, like scratches on the wall of a prison cell.

Dear Diary: After what feels like an eternity, our many days of trudging are coming toward the end. Along the way we lost some of our fellow travelers and picked up some new ones. It looks like we have finally reached Fort Delivery. I for one, will be trading in the old Conestoga for a newer model.

 

[robrmon]

Arrived, I really like the key ring, the hat and the pen seems a very high-quality.

The book I was pining for, I managed to find it online, so hopefully that’s on its way.

 

[MIGZ]

Yeah I hope I get the book , don’t need another note book

 

[robrmon]

While I hope you get it, I bet they ran out, which is why they changed it

 

[Zardoz]

Received mine today as well. Notebook that will never use. Everything else is nice

I think they are prioritizing who gets the cars first. They want the gift to arrive before the car. Most (all?) Carb state dealer customers have not gotten the gift.

I'm a CARB state and just got my gift FedEx tracking... hope that's a good indication my car is near?

I have no idea, to be honest. Based on what others have posted after my comment, this may not be a good indicator.

Regardless, I do think our cars are on their way. Let's pray for calm seas and clear skies for the sailors.

 

[Davebeats]

My package is scheduled to come this Friday

 

[EZcheezy]

If you are getting a gift, you should have already received an email from Lotus directly that it will be coming "soon"

Nope. I never received an email from Lotus. I randomly received a tracking one day.

 

[Medic518]

Nope - got the email from Lotus promising a gift "soon", but opposite of @idleuser I have never received the tracking email.. or gift.

 

[seriously]

Lotus likes variety, they include…

email, tracking number, gift received (some of you lucky bastards)
email, tracking number, gift soon
email, no tracking, gift received
email, no tracking, gift soon (me)
no email, tracking, gift received
no email, tracking, gift soon
no email, no tracking, gift received
no email, no tracking, wondering if you even exist anymore

Oh and then there’s the variation in the actual gift itself! Well, we don’t know all the options yet. What happens after they run out of pens? They can’t possibly order more pens. It may be a pencil at that point.

You may or may not receive your car before your gift, but thank you for waiting!

Thank you Lotus!

no gift or car, "who are you?"
