Re: Lotus Emira
I saw my first Emira in the wild last week in Berwick. In the same blue as the previous page. No idea what engine it had but it looked amazing.

Re: Lotus Emira
That was excellent. Just when you think it can’t get better it does again and again.
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Lotus Emira
Dammit man - now I have to watch the schmoriginal video to fully appreciate Monkey’s efforts.
Despite removing all forks and other pointy objects from the room, I will watch with safety glasses donned - can’t be too careful.
Re: Lotus Emira
I must - perhaps shamefully - admit that I don't always appreciated Harris's delivery when he's scripted, etc but he's really good at being likeably sarcastic when he wants to beMito Man wrote: Mon Jul 31, 2023 11:08 am That was excellent.

Re: Lotus Emira
That did make me laugh. Comments on the post were suggesting it was all aimed at JWW as well as shmee.

He needs his own YouTube channel, and I don’t mean like that collectingbollocks crap. I reckon he’d genuinely be good just holding/strapping a camera inside a car and talking like Harry’s Garage.

Maybe he could call it "Chris Harris on Cars"...Mito Man wrote: Mon Jul 31, 2023 1:05 pm He needs his own YouTube channel, and I don’t mean like that collectingbollocks crap. I reckon he’d genuinely be good just holding/strapping a camera inside a car and talking like Harry’s Garage.

Re: Lotus Emira
Yes, but less of the newer stuff and more his own stuff. I think his channel was killed off when he joined Together Gear?scotta wrote: Mon Jul 31, 2023 3:15 pmMaybe he could call it "Chris Harris on Cars"...Mito Man wrote: Mon Jul 31, 2023 1:05 pm He needs his own YouTube channel, and I don’t mean like that collectingbollocks crap.

But yep, I passed one on my commute the other morning, it was waiting to pull out of a junction and the profile at a distance looked like a proper exotic, actually thought it was a McLaren until I got closer.
Cheers, Harry

Re: Lotus Emira
I saw a dark red one yesterday and thought, if they’d made it a 2+2, I’d have bought one. Everyone, even my parents, like the look of it; so why aren’t they selling!?
Cheers,

Re: Lotus Emira
To be a 2+2 the roof line would have had to be far more like that of the Evora. Which is one of the styling elements that I think some find objectionable (?). Many of the later Evora were sold as 2+0 versions only.
And even then - the Evora is a pretty marginal 2+2 - tighter in the rear than a 911 (but still fine for very young sprogs - helps that the bench is easily removed to allow car seats to sit a little lower). So you'd probably want to find a bit more space in the rear if redesigning that concept today...
