Re: Harry’s Garage
Cracking video that.
Is there a Lotus that doesn't ride well?

Re: Harry’s Garage
Nice smooth controlled driving too
Emira looks great inside and out, hope they sell by the bucket load for Lotus.
Oui, je suis un motard.
Re: Harry’s Garage
Good video. Harry clearly excited.
So he went for the V6 - I didn’t hear him mention gearbox, but assume he correctly chose manuel (?)

Re: Harry’s Garage
Good Stuff, very nice to see Hethel with plenty of shiney new buildings.
Slightly silly to comment on ride on the very smooth Hethel track.
Intense nostalgia at 22:42 going past the old green building where the development offices used to be, I'd love popping a dirty great downshift blip during Evora 400 development and (occasionally) get some nice coments on return to my desk. Those were some happy days.
"Quite a light flywheel" yeah no-sh1t Dan
Judging by Harry's semi elegant egress looks like the door apeture is improved.
Very much looking forward to seeing how the I4DCT goes and I recon they will sell a shedload, and rightly so.

Harry has officially qualified as a yootoober - ‘here’s one I bought earlier’!
Did anyone notice the 996/986 seats in the interior styling model - very odd! I guess they had them hanging around from one of the dismantled Porsches they’ve used for benchmarking over the years…

Harry’s endorsement must be a decent advert for Lotus.
I like the blue or yellow best.
Re: Harry’s Garage
The Esprit is up for sale.
Maybe to make way for the Emira (?)

Re: Harry’s Garage
I thought he wanted to keep the Esprit as its unique to drive but maybe three Lotii in the garage was too many.
Emira will be faster and shoutier but not really a replacement for the Esprit.
Will be the quickest of his cars on track though I imagine.

Re: Harry’s Garage
Yeah it was just idle speculation - I haven’t seen anything from Harry that confirms why it’s up for sale (but I thought it was one of his “keepers” too.
Re: Harry’s Garage
One in, one out. New one does the same job but better? No need for the two of them plus the Esprit has gone up a fair chunk and covers the cost of the new car??
Re: Harry’s Garage
According to HM's reply on the PH thread the Esprit sold before it was even posted up.
Maybe the Emira will fill the comfortable cruising sportscar niche, but I can't help feel it's way less cool than the Esprit.

You’ve even captured a response from nebpor on that link.
