Would you believe it! My car is ready for delivery this week and I'm in Spain playing golf! Never mind, I've arranged to take delivery within 48 hours of my return, so I can look forward to coming back even if the golf doesn't go to plan. I'll get some pictures up as soon as possible.

Thanks all for the friendly response to my inaugeration speech! Given up fighting for the use of 'our' car today and been down to Birmingham airport to hire a Volkswagon Golf. It will hopefully get me by until 15th-23rd when 'EV-day' is scheduled and allow me to keep some street cred at minimal outlay. Still feel a bit miffed that I'm shelling out due to these uncertain and unexpected delays. When I do get it, I have an appointment with my biggest customer on the 25th. They are on the South coast and so this will run up a few miles towards the 1000 mile service. I'll just have to remember to park it round the corner as you know what they say about suppliers and flash cars! Maybe I should keep the Golf a couple more days! I've also got to fit in a visit to my dear old mum in Bucks, so a few more miles to the good. She's 82 and drives a black Beemer convertible so she'll enjoy a run out in the Evora. Come on Lotus, don't mess up my plans!

Hi Ally I'm new to the site, but very impressed with your skills. I'm taking delivery of Canyon Red with Anthracite wheels in October and would like to get it off to the right start. Problem is I'm next to useless in such matters so 'hands on' is much preferred to advice. Maybe I can PM you next month to discuss? Other similar comments must be making you a man in demand?

Hi Everyone I'm a newbie to the site and also to Lotus so reading some of the posts from Lotus 'old hands' leave me feeling like my first day at school....as I remember! I've had end of July, September 7th and now 15th-23rd October as delivery dates and so the shine is beginning to disappear. I'm also getting grief at home due to my Merc CLS having departed the family home at the end of July. Sharing her beloved Santa Fe is not an easy task to plan ahead for! I am taking solice in the hope that most of the gremlins will be sorted by the time my Canyon Red/Anthracite wheels comes through the spin cycle. I'm told it is in Factory 4 at present with 4 stages to go...can't wait. I think I jumped from my Boxster to the CLS too quickly, bit like Nike Air into slippers, but hoping that the Evora doesn't frighten me to death...the reports on the Alpine comms pack already have me in a cold sweat! I'm being told that certain component suppliers are causing Lotus to resource unexpectedly and at short notice and would be interested if others are getting the same message.
