Spotted: Emiras seen in the wild

[B r I a n]

Heather yellow Emira this past Thursday (26 September) on Pacific Coast Hwy southbound in left turning lane onto Topanga Canyon blvd around 5:30pm. All I could think of was that is the perfect road for a Lotus (as I was driving my Mitsubishi rental car)

Saw an Emira at corona cars and coffee this past Saturday. It looked SO good. And I can’t wait to get my Verdant Green. I put my business card on the window as well. So if you need a detail let me know

Black Emira this evening (5 Dec) in Canberra, Australia driving on Lonsdale, street

A-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y NONE seen in my area over the past 6 months, other than mine when I pass by a reflecting glass store-front, but I don't think that counts (lol). I was the first person in my city of 1 million plus, to register one. I've heard rumours from my car friends, of there being others, but I'm unsure what to believe: the last rumour didn't pan out after I finally tracked down and spoke with the "Emira owner" only to find out he owns an Elise (sigh). I'll continue my quest for the "Emira holy grail" and hope to find another, some day, so we can joyfully drive off into the sunset together. In the meantime, I'll continue admiring glass store-fronts.

I still havent seen another one here on the road in Austin TX.

I know theres at least 3 others here based on PPF guy and dealership though.

I randomly saw this Dark Verdant Green at the Lane Motor Museum in October. Never did figure out who that was, but I absolutely had to park behind them. I created my own parking spot (and Jeff gave me subsequent permission).

Wow!, that's the most Emiras I've seen as a pack in the wild. Must have been a great fraternizing event. It's also great to see that your Aussie license plates are more discrete in size vs. our much wider ones here in the States. I'm nevertheless glad that Florida is one of the states not requiring a front plate.

Finally spotted one in the wild out here in the flyover…Seneca coming off the interstate near Columbus Indiana

 

[Inilep]

finally saw one besides mine out in tampa yesterday... on orient road near the jail of all places. Thought I was the only emira driving around there

You appear to have omitted the requisite photo of the offending item

Lotus would have to make a pickup truck for Edmonton folks to want one

Lotus would have to make a pickup truck for Edmonton folks to want one

Ouch. OK I’ll bite. I must confess to owning an old pickup truck, as one of my pre-university first vehicles when I had no money. Other than that one, my other 20+ vehicles have all been cars. Back in the day, my Ontario university friends couldn’t understand why me and many other so-called “red-neck Albertans” didn’t own trucks. Or that Edmonton actually had things like art galleries, museums, opera, a symphony, ballet, and an active theatre industry, including Canada’s oldest and largest Fringe Theatre. Combine that with what used to be North America’s second largest urban river valley, until Edmonton’s development surpassed New York’s Central Park, to now hold the number one spot. Who knew?

That said, trucks are practical vehicles for any economy strongly rooted in agriculture and oil/gas, which Alberta was fortunate enough to have, leading and fueling (pardon the pun) Canada’s economy for many past decades.

Ha, yeah I get it - I grew up in the Ottawa Valley...could be considered Edmonton-lite (arts, culture, and trucks per capita). I've got a couple of friends in Edmonton although haven't been there in years - one of them making the most of the oil and gas boom for sure.

My wife bought a Moto Guzzi V7 from Edmonton a couple of years ago..I was surprised to see such classy vehicles there

Watch out for those stone chips!

Met up with another owner this am in the RDU area. You could say these two were 'spotted' in the wild.

First time I’m seen one in the wild (not at car shows). Tonight in Brickell neighborhood of Miami. Nimbus. Anyone here?

 

[Enut]

Also spotted a Nimbus on the A21 (well waiting to pull onto the A21) about 5 miles south of Tunbridge Wells, about 11.30 this morning. Highly unlikley to be the same one that was in Miami though!
