    New Lotus Flagship Store in London…( Coming Soon!) /s

    Having a showroom in that location is not about Merch, or factory visits, or the little people; nor even, I would suggest, the number of actual sales orders they take. It's about the image, the big picture, moving into a space that positions Lotus against the established luxury brands - that's...

    Puncture!! Where do I get a tyre

    Asda?! https://www.asdatyres.co.uk/goodyear/eagle-f1-supersport/245-35-20-95-y-xl-eagle-f1-supersport (Not a necessarily a recommendation; this just surprised me!)

    Hill start delayed release - now resolved by software update

    I don't think it can be disabled, but under normal circumstances this isn't an issue. Hill start assist only engages when stationary, uphill, the brake is depressed, clutch depressed and you engage 1st gear. If in neutral it doesn't engage. (I haven't tried in reverse - needs to be tested!) It...

    Hello - I actually have one!

    It looks like you did. Must be the stealth. DV in my original post = Dark Verdant. The very very dark green. Not for everyone, but I love it.

    Hello - I actually have one!

    I had a random and fairly prolonged chat with a chap in the centre of Nottingham who had been following Harry's Garage and came for a closer look when he saw me. He seemed to increasingly like the DV in the flesh!

    Hello - I actually have one!

    Hi Roland. I decided to go for a very stealthy blackpack, with privacy glass; alcantara with red stitching inside to match the red calipers; sports suspension to enjoy the road very directly! Absolutely magnificent! It's super subtle, but those who know; they know. Amazing responses.

    Hello - I actually have one!

    I've mostly lurked, and posted a couple of times, over the past few months, but as I have now picked up my DV from Hethel I guess I should properly say hello. I'm absolutely loving it - the best car I've ever owned, by a country mile. The handover and factory tour with Scott and Sam was great...

    Hill start delayed release - now resolved by software update

    Ah, I've had this (on two occasions) and didn't understand what was going on - the parking break wouldn't release when I tried to pull away (it normally auto-deactivates). I think I must have been on an incline both times. Good to see that it's not just me, and the there's an explanation - and...

    Prices increase update from Lotus - and stopping of reservations for V6 FE

    Long time lurker. First time poster. I got the email notifcation. V6. Deposit placed October '21. Not protected. Build in June. Utter kick in the teeth. I was twice offered alternative cars that were similar, but not exactly the same, as my spec for earlier delivery but having been reassured by...
