Emira Picture & Video Thread

[stephenwhyte]

He is a little hard work to listen to at times but his videos of car reviews don’t lack on the facts & knowledge front. 
The gaps on his car look good - in particular the gap at the bottom of the front access panel, where the rubber is. I wonder if there’s been a change to improve the gapping there?

Looks great in Yellow👍😎

I'm annoyed how much I enjoyed that video.  A lot.

Me too. However Shmee is far to Shmug for me. I put him in that irritating and annoying "Ant and Dec" category.

But the video was good so I'll forgive His Shmugness. I still much prefer Harry though 👍

[exeterjeep]

Harry a more normal person.

[Rambo]

Agreed. I probably prefer Harry as he is more my agegroup than Shmuug.

I still lust after either of their garages though 👍

Yes, the customer cars have a narrower gap and a rubber strip with a better profile that doesn't stick up out of the gap and hence doesn't bulge out slightly wider than the gap.

Shmee’s front access panel gap looks even tighter than one on the Nimbus Grey car you’ve pictured above👍

Ah, that explains a lot! 😄

[stephenwhyte]

As I was typing I knew there was a euphemism in there whatever I wrote, so just rolled with it!😉👍

Oi Shpud. Don't mock it until you try it Shmeghead 😉

On Lotus Facebook a few pics.... wrapped

They've tagged Need for Speed so I assume this is in the game.

[NedaSay]

I can confirm.

Christmas certainly came early this year as I travelled to my favourite place on earth, Hethel, Norfolk to spend the day at Classic Team Lotus, more on this to follow soon, followed by a tour of the new Lotus factory to see the Emira production line in full swing, as a huge Lotus enthusiast for the last 35+ years it is so good to see them on the up big time, the place was really buzzing, makes me very happy, thanks for the great hospitality today all at Lotus Cars and CTL 🙏

If I didn’t have my heart set on a yellow Emira this would be my next choice, looked stunning 👌

Seeing it in the flesh at last I’m definitely going to commit to the red interior for my yellow Emira, maybe not the most popular choice but I loved it.

Pretty mountains. Even prettier car... pic courtesy of that petrolhead with a garage (and a farm)

I do find black so tempting, will be a dilemma if they ever release standard edition pricing

Love this shot from @harrym_vids - puzzled look on that passer-by as Emira drives into Maranello...

PPF part 2

 

 

[simonb]

PPF looks a great idea, but at £3k plus, that is the same as a blow over with fresh paint

[Abgreenbank]

True but in 10 years how many ‘blow overs would you need’

[Rambo]

My Evora is 13 years old and my M100's over 30 years old and none of them have ever had, or needed, a blow over 🤔

I’m with you - I got my Exige PPF’d from new when it was new in ‘18. It needed done twice though, as the first guy made an arse of it first time……but the second job was much better, and the car still looks like new😎

Yes it’s an expense but when you’re spending this kind of money for a car you plan to keep, or at the very least to keep it looking it’s best……this is the way to go. Once it’s paid for, it’s paid for👍

As a side note - I had always though Magna would’ve been the colour I’d have gone for Emira, but that changed when I saw pics of your Dark Verdant First Edition with Silver wheels! Love it!😍
