Hi All
I’m down in sunny
/) Cornwall and have been completely hooked on the Lotus Emira for the last 18 months, but have not been in the position to purchase one. I come from 8 years in the Mini scene (classic and BMW) and 25 years driving various other mild hatches. I’ve always been drawn to cars that put the driver first and, after a test drive at a Thruxton track event, the Emira just hits that sweet spot of feel, balance, and that V6 noise. The Mini will always have a place especially with the narrow roads here, but I’ve just reserved a ‘24 plate Magma Red V6 manual Emira. The wait is excruciating as it’s having some osmosis on the doors rectified before I take delivery at the end of the month. It’s going to be a long three weeks 
Apart from B road blasts, I try to get out on the odd track day when time and tyres allow — nothing too hardcore, just chasing smoother laps and a bigger grin. When I’m not out driving, I’m usually gaming, keeping up with the latest tech and gadgets, or finding new excuses for another mod or detailing session.
Looking forward to chatting builds, mods, and road-trip ideas with fellow Emira addicts!
