How many Emira owners in SoCal?

[SONOFEMERY]

For you SoCal guys, recommending A1 Automotive in San Gabriel Valley for Lotus work, ask for Harry.

I just got the 3rd cat delete, K&N filter and break in oil change done. He is widely recommended on LotusTalk, owns an Elise and Exige and has worked on a lot of lotuses including the evora. It was fun to talk cars and tracking with him. Surprisingly, my emira was the first he has serviced.

He was knowledgeable, cared for the car and solid prices. It was worth the 1 hour drive for me. Glad I found him!

Funny thing is he’s running an ordinary mechanic/smog shop. They are not specialists but he happens to be very experienced with the Lotus platforms. I think that’s why his cost is better than dealers or specialist enthusiast oriented shops.

Great recommendation, will be contacting him for sure!

Good to know and have options. I went to Project Dream last week for my lowering sleeve install. They work on lotuses as you will see on their IG. It was recommended to me by a buddy that has an evora that threw a clutch and required the entire engine to be pulled out. They did all the work for him.

I actually got it from Galpin, ordered in Jan of 2021! There were actually times I sort of forgot I ordered it

Needed to get out and stretch my heel and toes a bit with a late Sunday afternoon ACH spin up the mountain and back.

@grezex Did you secure an allocation from the Lotus of San Diego Team? I did and am still in hold mode - ETA -> Oct per my latest convo. I'm looking forward to being part of the SoCal Lotus Club!!!

Yes, I will probably swing by also

Ditto (locked in June). Pinged for update last week and still said expected to arrive in Oct, but couldn't confirm if it entered production or not. I've not received any email directly from Lotus, so no in production e-mail nor VIN notification I've seen from other posts here. I only have the order confirmation email forwarded by the dealer at the time of lock-in.

I personally don't think we'll see our cars until December/January at the earliest

My sons football game changed to Saturday morning so turns out I won’t be able to make it. Take pics if you go!

Same for me on all accounts. Jan is when I'm estimating. At least there's a few of us in the same boat!
