RP420

"does the standard 420 have Li battery and CF seats?" Yes

@CooperLotus Hi Neil Thanks for your note. Yes - planning to get some suggested dates up soon. Work has been a bit mental throughout 2024 so far, so I haven't had a chance to plan anything just yet, but hope to do so over the next week or two. As you suggest, Spring is due anytime - although the forecast for this weekend is anything but Spring-like... Look out for a 2024 events thread coming shortly! Ryan

@Keith B Hi Keith Many thanks for your post and the new Emira looks fantastic! Hoping to get some events organised soon now that the weather is (supposed to be) improving...! Cheers Ryan

@lil_greenie Hi Jonas Photos and a couple of videos attached as promised. Hopefully this gives you what you wanted. I have tried to show the space between the inside edge of the 295 tyre and the wheelarch. @Bibs - I have tried to compress the videos as best I can while keeping some reasonable quality, but it's not my area of expertise! Best wishes Ryan Walkaround_video.mp4 Wheelarch_video.mp4

Hi Jonas I won't have a chance to take a pic until Sunday but will do and will post on here then.

Hi @Honcho Thanks for reaching out, welcome to the NI Group and congratulations on your new Emira - looks fantastic and we have a few other Emira owners in the NI Group too. I will be organising some meet ups over the spring/summer/autumn - will likely get some dates organised and published in early March so keep an eye on this forum over the next few weeks. Look forward to meeting you and your Emira soon! Ryan

Very late notice all, but there is an RMS Cars and Coffee at PMG Autocare (www.detailingbelfast.co.uk) at Blackstaff Way (just off Kennedy Way) from 9 - 1 tomorrow (Saturday 30/12). See more at https://rmsmotoring.com/forum/threads/rms-winter-cars-coffee-at-pmg-autocare-getannhome-fundraiser-date-and-time-poll.230653/ The purpose is to help Shaun Brady, one of the RMS members, raise money towards the £70k he requires to modify his house so that his wife can come home from hospital - full story available at https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/GetAnnHome. I'm going along from 9-11 and @Cooper will be there too. I think @Chris28 will also be there. Hope to see those who can make it tomorrow. If not, Happy New Year to All!! Ryan

@Stef Cup 2s are available in 295 30 18. I fitted these back in August and all going well 1000 miles in (including a track day) Appreciate Cup 2s are far from an ideal winter tyre though 😬

Hi Richard Unfortunately I'm away this weekend so can't make it. Hopefully some of the others might make it along. Ryan

Thanks Andy!

@Cooper What's Robin Walker’s Irish weekend?

Great event this morning at Hursts Cars & Coffee, and fantastic to see plenty of interest in Lotus - as well as lots of other mouth-watering machinery there (Senna, 918,...). Brilliant to see @AndyW-VX, @Barry McFall, @blindside, @Chris28 and @KeithK there;@Cooper's Emira was also spotted, if not the man himself! As usual, I completely forgot to take any pics 🙄. If anyone else has any, please do share on this page.

I'm in and parked up by the Lotus dealership. They are wanting to group all Lotus around that area. I'm now away watching hockey but will be back around 11.30. See you later! R

@Barry McFall - see you there! @Mike150 - great you passed your MOT. Hopefully our final event of the year will be at a time that works for you (when I get round to organising it!)

Hi All Jimmy, Chris and I have booked to attend the Charles Hurst Cars & Coffee event on Saturday next week (30th). If anyone else is interested in going, please book at https://r1.dotdigital-pages.com/p/6KJI-HVG/cars-and-coffee. Cheers Ryan @RP420 Ryan @blindside Jimmy @Cooper Andy @AR13 MEO Gareth @KeithK Keith @5pence Spencer @Tris...

Sounds like good service Andy, which is very encouraging!

@MBRC150 Hi Martin Thanks very much for joining the NI Group! It's great to have you join us and I hope we get to meet soon. I do hope to organise one more NI event before the winter sets in (although this weekend's weather would suggest that ship has sailed...). That's a fantastic picture of your Elise! I think there are 8 other Elise in our group so far. Looking forward to meeting you soon. Ryan

Hi All Cup 2s in 295/30/18 are now available on BlackCircles and at KwikFit.

Hadn't heard about this - looks like a Club Lotus event. I won't be able to join as I'm already committed with kids sport all weekend.

Sorry to hear you are thinking of selling Kev. Very many thanks for all your technical advice and solutions for the Exige S3 - particularly for tall drivers! Ryan

Adding: @Barry McFall Barry @Lot333 Stephen

Thanks for the pictures Craig @R400DVA - great to see you and Ethan at the North West pits and I look forward to seeing you both at another event soon - hopefully in your own Lotus?!

Great picture Andy! I will try to get the parking and the banner organised better next year!

I will check the measurements of the banner and let you know. Many thanks as always @Bibs!

That would be a great idea @Bibs! I did make a stand for it last year, but it needs pegs in the ground and was designed for a grass field. When I got to the paddock and saw the concrete surface, I realised there might be a problem with my plan... 🤔
