Yeah, somebody spotted it in my 1st year service video. I never even looked at it. I guess I could claim it back as software updates are performed routinely each service and must be free.

13.5K miles now. Still an amazing car and I still think it is like a secret that few others understand and I smile all the time.

Yeah, I researched on all of that, the same in the UK. It was too scary and unpalatable a proposition overall. Now looking at 458/488 Spider as I want to get back into Ferrari ownership. Not cheap to run but overall less surprises than a McLaren.

AH, have been looking at 600LTs for ages. The rawness appeals to me and I believe it is the best McLaren below 1 mil actually. Love the noise with the vertical exhausts. I have recently decided against it as the scary tales of things going wrong spooked me out.

Ha. Okay, i promise to take it easy in cold conditions and not slide it. :)

Just got the originals on still. Goodyear F1. I don't care about the seasons. Just want the best tyres for grip/roadholding. Not worried about temperatures either. Common sense dictates that I get the Cup 2 tyres designed for the car.

Hi all. Not been on the forums for ages. My Emira is my daily driver and still loving it and amazed at how capable it is. I have reached 10,000 miles, it is winter and the car is sliding all over the place. I can't bring myself to check the wear but I am assuming I am almost at slicks, which I...

My brakes went to mush at Donnington - a track with long straights but were 100% brilliant at Castle Coombe which is bendy in nature. A McLaren and Lotus test driver said it was a step on from all other Lotus and only the LT McLarens were as good. I happen to believe it as I was overtaking...

Well, an ex Mclaren and current Lotus test driver I met said it was clear step above an exige, evira and most Mclarens. Micht have meant in terms of ease of going fast and handling for beginners.

The setup is lacking in power but overall I am now enjoying it enough to leave it alone. It got better from the off after a number of months seemingly to bed in.

A Knight in Stealth Armour:

My Emira got better with every drive over the last 14 months. I would say it has now peaked and it is utterly terrific. Indeed, I cannot believe it ever gets any negativism and that people are not buying them in their drives compared to other cars. The general market does not help but, wow, the...

It still amazes me how GREAT the Emira performance is. This is a very fast car. I travel a lot with 812 Comps, Speciales, Performantes. Never been close to being left behind on the road and it is a beast on the track too. I don't get all this hunt for an extra 0.2s 0-62MPH or 400 more revs...

Jeez. That is taking the piss. Almost as bad as the Ferrari stuff, though at least that is made to measure.
