Show us your stable!

New to Lotus ownership, but I thought I would share my Meridian Blue Emira after ppf, eclipsing the M3P daily runabout.

"After buying the MX5 I would drive it quite a bit even with the Evora sitting in the garage."

Interesting to hear this. I feel that daily driving my supercharged BRZ is not that much of a negative thing compared to driving the Emira.
Just proves you do not have to spend $100,000 to have a fun car
 
Lotus Emira, MK VIII Golf R, Gen 3 802a Raptor. Bases are covered. Wife drives the Golf most days…it has some mods and is tuned, it’s the fastest thing here. But it’s a total puppy dog when you stay out of boost.

A year ago this July I took delivery of the Emira and this week picked up a 1995 Esprit S4s. Needless to say, I will spend more time making sure the Esprit continues to run.

More photos and details about the Esprit please! How’s it compare to the Emira?

I’d say the same about our two Fiesta STs. Ones a MK7 ST200 (I’m not sure if you got those in the US?) and the other is a very late MK8 3dr. They’re a lot of fun to drive and actually quite capable if you drive them seriously (as opposed to throwing them around!).
 
This is a cool comparison of two cars that spent time in my stable - the Emira and Alfa 4C.

If you bought the Emira with a manual transmission like I did, you might dismiss a car like the 4C which was never offered with that option. But I learned to appreciate some things about the 4C having owned one for two years and now having owned my Emira for over a year.

Perhaps not coincidentally, enough folks are interested in this comparison that this has become my most popular car video.

Have a great day!

Following my previous post, and seeing as this is a photo thread….
