Anyone else headed to C&C Morrisville tomorrow morning? I'll be there and likely parked at ore near the Lotus of Raleigh VIP tent. Just got her all cleaned up tonight!

I keep meaning to, but yard work is calling this morning. Would love to see a few pics of the Lotus area if you get a chance. Is that at every C&C now or was today something special again?

They have been there a few times but this is the first time they were a "featured sponsor" I believe. Got to park in the VIP section right in the middle of the action:

Nice and I see you brought your cute copilot along. I'll be OOT for the August one, but maybe in the Fall...

I have a few friends going to VIR Grand Course Oct 31 (Thursday/ Halloween)with TrackDaze. $395 for one day (solo only - no Instruction on Thursday). But I think they have instruction available Friday for the Full Course.

Question for those that are tinting below the limit. Where is a good spot to pass inspection?

No one will likely post that info. Very few places are passing cars with tint darker than legal anymore. I moved here from another state where my dark tint was legal and I got so sick of trying to find a place in Nc that I swore I’d never have “illegal” tint again

Yeah it’s not even for my Emira. But my truck had matched from factory in the front and it looks great and not dark at all but darker than “legal”. I’m not tinting my Emira at all.

Yea my car with tint I sold out of state just so I didn’t have to deal with it haha. The emira will never get tint and tbh I think it looks better without, I miss the privacy though

Raleigh here although ordered my Emira through Cape Fear Lotus. I am in the same boat. Was told I am in the first batch arriving in the States and potential delivery in November sometime. That was the latest from my dealer on September 3. I haven't called for updates on delivery dates. I am afraid I will get bad news. Anyone receive updates on the US bound i4 (Emira 2.0T)

VIN 4068….. dealer stated end of October, so likely November delivery. However he did not have any updates from late last week.

Pittsburgh….. they have been awesome. Great updates. I have since moved from that area to Myrtle Beach. But I hear Cape Fear is also very good.

A few 12' packs of Mtn Dew and Diet sodas to stock their work fridge. A box of potato chips helps as well. The next year you bring beer. And I am being serious.

Congrats on joining the forum. You're one of the few or only others from the Carolina's and on this forum stream I have seen from Myrtle Beach...I am also. I placed the first order deposit / allocation at Lotus Cape Fear for the I4 2.0 model a long time ago, still waiting on delivery like the rest of us. Been checking with the dealer regularly with no updates still...wish Lotus's communication efforts and performance was as great as its cars.

Delivery at C&C on 11/2 was pretty cool, Keep me in the loop for any Raleigh / NC meet ups!
Cheers,
Dan

Thanks! I hear Cape Fear Lotus is great…. that’s where I will be taking it. I placed my order years ago in another state where I lived then. Moved to Myrtle this year.
With my Evora S, I don’t think I ever saw another Evora in the 6 years I owned it. Lotus’s are definitely rare in the wild.

Certainly agree that the team at CF Lotus treated me exceptionally well!! They should be getting a Raleigh location in the near future, however the first location fell through due to lease terms with battery based cars, if I understood correctly.
