Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Forgot to mention - I saw a red S3 Esprit (non-Turbo as far as I could tell in my mirrors) driving round the Stourbridge ring road on Wednesday evening. Nice to see it being driven.

Re: Test drive report
Apparently the V6 auto isn’t bad at all, Ian. At first I considered it - I completely missed the fact that there was a clutch pedal as I first started it 😂 Getting lazy, clearly. But I found if you leave it in 4th you can treat it pretty much like an auto except as you come to a stop and the gear ch...

Re: Test drive report
Pleased Lotus are still the enthusiasts choice if you want something really special. Shame that still means they don't sell quite like they should :mrgreen: Any other colours you'd consider Jobbo? There were not many colour choices initially - I’d go for the dark grey but I’m not so keen on the ver...

Re: Test drive report
No, really not interested in that version. It feels like the basis for a future hybrid version while the V6 makes a nice noise and has a lovely supercharger whine/howl when you clog it.

Re: Test drive report
I think we have a winner, despite the Emira forums doing their very best to make me think it's a clown car which everything falls off

Re: Test drive report
Today was the Emira test drive. At Lotus Birmingham, which is actually the Rybrook Rolls Royce/McLaren dealer in Hockley Heath. A nice civilised place to get to and well within my stamping ground so I know the roads around it well. I must thank those of you who suggested driving it because I really ...
Re: New Car
That's an excellent choice - should be fun for him as well as reliable and has Top Gear cred.

Re: Lotus Emira
I remember how much my Elise depreciated in 3 years. It would now be worth close to its new RRP. V6 manual Emiras must surely be desirable when all new cars are EVs? And they don’t actually make very many so surely they’ll be valuable in future? Or are they simply not special enough… I’ll find out t...

Re: Car Hire Lottery
Surely the Golf just applied the auto parking brake which you could manually release?

Re: Smartwatches
Do you wear your watch while asleep? I take mine off every night so just sticking the Apple Watch on the charger by the bed is quite natural.

Re: Amazon and Proximity
The cheekiest example of geo targeted advertising is you have location always on for an app like uber. They track your location 24/7 and sell your data to retailers, they check that location data to see if you spent any time in a store and if you have they’ll start targeting you for marketing. Ther...

Re: Car Hire Lottery
That doesn't sound too bad - I had a Mondeo from Enterprise once when my 545i was in for a service.

Re: Alfa Milano Jr.
They could have called it the MiPo (Milan-Poland) or the MiTy (Milan-Tychy).

That's rather lovely - the description he gave you does not do it justice.

Re: “Black Edition”
Definitely a good value option - I’m not sure if the facelift 957 was hobbled with silver as standard but it looked abysmal.
