Magma red heading North on M6 near Leyland, Lancs on Saturday (30th Sept) morning.

Not the best pic, but it was great to see one in the "wild". I was in England last week and were across the street heading back into Harrods. It was night and out of the corner of my eye, I spotted this beauty. I was so awe struck, I started screaming to my wife and girls, "that's my car, that's my car", as I watched it go by. I was so excited, I forgot to take a picture. Fortunately my daughter, although excited to see it as well, was much faster on the draw and snapped this pic. I have to say, it looked the part, and would fit in just fine next to any high end sports car, IMHO.

Saw a DV on the M6 northbound, north of Preston on Sunday 15th Oct. Looked very shiny. First DV I’ve seen outside of the factory. Actually my least favourite colour, but looked great. I was in our Golf (Emira not too good for fishing trips / farm tracks), so apologies if you thought I was a random nutter. I am.

I love shots like this where we can see the Emira contrasted against all of the "normal cars" around it:

Nimbus Emira seen on a narrow lane in the Wensum Valley, Norwich this lunchtime. I was in my wife's grey Abarth 595 and you caught me being careful as she was with me

Passed a Seneca Blue with upper black pack going the other way in Tiptree late Saturday afternoon, we were in our Seneca Blue without black pack. Anyone on here?.
We did acknowledge each other!

Another spot today, Nimbus parked up at the Galvin Green Man, Howe Street for lunch. Anyone on here? Brave being out today, due to conditions we chose an old Discovery!!
Brilliant lunch by the way! 👍

Yes, it is an excellent place to eat. We're going in mine today, Seneca without black pack.

Seneca with black pack in Leatherhead this morning. I thought I was the only Emira in town!

Gonna have to change it now! (kidding)

Is that the station car park?! I would be fretting all day at work thinking about the people parked either side and their door etiquette!

There seems to be a growing Surrey contingent here. I'm hoping to add one to the party next year representing Oxted. No one else had better get one here!

Magma on the M6 heading south, Preston area, exited onto the A59. Seen from my (very dirty) Seneca. Had a good wave at each other 😄👋 funny how big a smile it puts on the face seeing an Emira on the road, even while driving one 😁

That splitter-killing parking bay end stop makes me anxious just looking at it!

I don't know why those things are still used this day and age.

My car, but in the wild with company

I don't know why those things are still used this day and age.

To encourage people to buy SUVs...

I don't know why those things are still used this day and age.

To curb driving enthusiasm.

It might be local, I've seen a Nimbus Emira in County Durham a few weeks back leaving the same housing estate as me, think it may have been a '23 plate, possibly the same one! I'd overheard some workmen on the estate talking about a Lotus previously, so keeping my eyes out for it again.

More recently spotted a Seneca Emira heading southbound on the A1(M) just north of Ripon this last Wednesday lunchtime.

They do look so good on the road, no matter the colour, just makes the I4 wait that bit more frustrating each time I see one!
