I absolutely love my Vandels. Unfortunately they seem to have gone out of business: the website has been in the state you describe for over a year now 😢.

☝🏻 Me, unfortunately 🙄

On “The Importance of Loving the Daily Driver”. From 2013 - 2017 I had a Cadillac ATS. During that time there was not a trip I wasn’t excited to take nor an errand I did not want to run: the car was engaging and brilliant to drive. I didn’t own it: it was on a 4 year lease. When 2017 rolled...

I went around the track with an unofficial lap time (timed by a spectator) of 1:53.83 if that helps. In my defence, they built in an extra chicane at Chapman to prevent speeds getting too high on entry into Windsock Corner, so that probably accounts for any differences between my time and what...

I’ll add my vote for Snap Shades. Not cheap, but they’re Emira specific and they fit like they’re supposed to.

For what it’s worth, I was speaking with a colleague yesterday who ordered a 911 T back in January. It sat in port in Germany for 2 months before it got on a boat, and is currently “somewhere between Halifax and the dealership”. Apparently shipping hassles aren’t just a Lotus issue 🤷‍♂️.

It’s right up there with ‘shortly’.

Illuminati.

Knowing your name, this is more deeply disturbing than most people realize… way too many Beelzebub jokes could be made here. I’ll refrain. 😈

Fine. I had my heart set on religion, but since I’ve already unwittingly got myself into hot water in this thread I’ll defer.

🤣🤣 You know what they say: “Buy things you don’t need with money you don’t have to impress people you don’t like.” 😜 Hopefully that’s light enough 😁

Generally speaking, if you don’t have the cash, and are willing give up ‘x’ dollars per month in interest at anything over 4% to finance the majority of a (here in Canada) $150,000 purchase, you probably don’t have the mindset to become wealthy. Lots of people make lots of money they just...

Probably by this point the OP has left the building… My interpretation of most of the answers here probably makes me seem like a pedantic dick (“Let’s break it down for you” would be the phrase these days in popular media), but it seems to me that generally speaking, the advice from folks such...

The funny thing about these twisted seat belts is that although I agree that they look aggravating and twisted when they are at rest, when I go to put mine on it always falls easily to hand and is never twisted or seeming to have the tendency to twist once I’m wearing it. It’s almost like...

I honestly don’t know. But if I were to choose the lesser of two evils, a few millimetres of window above the frame is comparatively meaningless to me. I learned far too late in life that expecting perfection in minutiae more often than not ruined the overall joy of my hard won (material)...

I would propose that my post could be considered to contain the empirical evidence that supports the supposition in your post 🙂🙃

I’ll jump in and let y’all draw your own conclusions. When I received my car the driver’s side window (when fully closed) had the dreaded window whistle at speeds above 50mph. When the window was fully open, the top of the window did not peak above the top of the door. The dealership adjusted...

Nope. Sport suspension with Goodyears has a lovely ride 🤙🏼

You may also find these dimensions useful: the part of the door at 23” from the ground is that which contacts the wall as the limiting protrusion.

I paid an installed price here in Canada. I believe a raw, undelivered USD cost is around $6,000. As far as backing your cars in, the limiting factor is the vertical post. My cars need to be driven in front ways because the post needs to be on the opposite side of the driver’s door. My lift...

I have a small garage (single car, 10’x20’) and the only viable solution was a single post. So I have information (or at least experience) with that option if anybody is looking in that direction.

I‘m thinking of buying an Europa S and wedging it in between them 🤔…

Yeah… cuz we’re awesome (assuming you also got Sport suspension with Goodyear tires) 😎. If only yours were to be delivered with the production error mine had, you’d be even more thrilled 😁!

As @Time2Fly said, I had this on my car from the factory (thread here: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/anybody-else-have-two-different-seat-badges.4440/) Frankly the differing fonts were like nails on a chalkboard for me, and the correct badge “Lotus” badge was installed under warranty. That...

Is that Bigfoot or a UFO 🤔😉😁?

Lots Of Thrills, Usually Spectacular

This thing here: NOT a “throttle linkage”. IS a “Supercharger Bypass Valve Actuator” That is all 😬.

Hope springs eternal, however recent “data“ suggests nobody is getting the message 🙄

Lousy background, but here’s a good representation of the colour (to my eye, anyway):

Imma contact Andy Graham and get the supporting paperwork 🤣

Thanks for the info folks. @Superman it looks like Bell & Colville have the Emira badges… £47.95 on eBay 😋

Didn’t notice until I got it home. No doubt they’ll rectify it no problem: the emblems are stand-alone and can be swapped out quite easily by the looks of things.
