I'm more concerned over what's creating that shadow on the roof of your car..... 😁

I'm guessing this is the future we are heading for. The film Idiocracy is a comedy about a hibernating couple who wake up in the future. "Over the next several hundred years, average intelligence decreases due to societal expectations, discouraging well-educated individuals from having children as the less-educated reproduce indiscriminately; genetic engineering is forgone in favor of hair loss and erectile dysfunction treatments. As a result, infrastructure deteriorates, low comedy and explicitness defines culture, and consumerism is left unfettered." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiocracy

I bought two for the Emira, they're really good.

Hmm, according to the Lotus Ceramic Paint Protection PDF I have for the Emira they are using the CX2 Ceramic paint protection. Is it just not as good as other ceramic protection products? There are other GardX products like the GX1 paint protection which doesn't mention ceramic so maybe not quite as effective? I have no experience in this area 🤔

"I notice that since April 1st, what we call an i4 first Edition should be refered to as i4 base model." Whereabouts are you seeing this? I've just looked at the French and German configurators and apart from them only offering the i4 (and not the V6) it seems to work as it always has through my many different configurations. What I did find interesting was that the French price and the German price in Euros was different, for some reason I thought they would have been the same.

The UK configurator is still the same, presumably you are seeing this on the French Lotus website?

Indeed. I know I have significantly increased my chances lately but it does make me think.

My parents bought £6 of premium bonds for me in 1960, they have never won a thing. More recently I've bought a few more and get regular wins, this month's was £250. I read somewhere if you have a large amount bought way back when you would be better off cashing them in and buying them again to get the newer numbers.

The people in the comments sections are with you.

Would be nice if my V6 is on there somewhere although I'm not expecting it until later in the year.

Found where I read it. i4's delivered in March get the servicing, apparently. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/race-to-the-first-i4.3122/page-29#post-122611

Ask about servicing. I read someone in the UK said they were getting 3 years servicing included free. Couldn't work out if it was a dealer specific thing or Lotus being generous.

Crazy times. Ministers should hand all 30-year-olds a £10,000 “citizens inheritance” amid fears a £1.5tn wealth transfer to millennials will deepen inequalities, a Conservative peer has urged. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/mar/02/tory-peer-calls-for-10000-citizens-inheritance-for-all-30-year-olds

@electro_boy Not mine, it's on order but not due for a while yet, and it's all yellow as well. I like how that one is protectively parked on the end.

Photo or it didn't happen! 😀
