Re: How beautiful is the new Lotus Emira?

no "farty" as in the noise, not the performance. I've got the p300 in our XE and love it, but the noise in the 4 potters is not as good as a supercharged 6, if noise floats your boat. And I dont like the farty noise of the AMG 4, or the 6's or 8's for that matter now that the 8's are turbo...

Re: How beautiful is the new Lotus Emira?

Yeah, I dont doubt the ability but I'd rather have a slower supercharged 6 with a manual. Listen to this engine note

Re: How beautiful is the new Lotus Emira?

manual v6 would be the way to go to my mind, not a farty AMG turbo. To that end would be an interesting drive, a few people from the XKR forum (US based) had the Evora and spoke highly of them

Re: blinking red light on speedo when car locked

I thought so, I'm used to seeing it on the top of the dash, not in the instrument cluster.

blinking red light on speedo when car locked

I've had my car for 5 wonderful years, and it has probably only been left outside overnight a handful of times. Anyway due to a plastidipping frenzy on my new toy I have had to leave the F Type on the driveway tonight. As I was walking behind it in the dark I noticed a red flashing light on the dash...

Re: Old vs Facelift, Suspension and Comfort!

It isnt just the tyres, it is the seat as well. The leather in the seats is very stiff when you get the car new. It needs a few thousand km before it softens up. Driving on a bad road you can actually feel the car jiggle but the leather holding you nice and serene. The passenger side seat stays a bi...

Re: V8s attract

yes, it does appeal to the baser instincts, and I'd hate to be psychoanalysed about why it feels better with a gearshift in my hand

Re: V8s attract

That Mach 1 looks fantastic! The Maclarens are a bit meh to me, I love the F1 but really I cant get excited over anything else. I'm kind of getting used to the Mustang, I had been a metre off target both front and rear, no front sensors doesnt help. It's not as fast as my f type nor as nimble but wi...
