I might very well write them off for saying ‘innit’ 🤣 Joking aside, I expect most of us love to hear someone else tell us that we made a good choice. We are fragile souls. That said, I know what pleasure I get from my ‘plastic’ toy car and while it’s lovely to hear others agree, I really don’t need their agreement. I may doubt many decisions in life, but I’ve never doubted this one. It’s sublime. Sincerely hope all Emira buyers feel the same way. It’s a nice feeling. Peace. 🕊 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Evotion Posted December 2, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Ha - nothing new to say and. more importantly, anything I do say might not be true in a month or two. I think January is the time we will know anything of any real substance. Quote If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it. My Emira Videos | Into Motorcycles?

Gold FFM TomE Posted December 2, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Imran at Evolve Automotive is buying a V6 FE, and Litchfield have ordered an i4 FE to work out tuning packages. Obviously these are for business purposes but it’s a decent endorsement that they are getting early cars. On the Chris Harris point, I think he voted for the Evora for ECOTY when it was launched, ahead of that year’s Porsche. Someone with a copy of the awards or a better memory will correct me. He also posted about looking for an Elise when Lotus announced the end of production. So although he might award Porsche top spot for an award he’s going to give a decent review and a fair chance to the Emira. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Evotion Posted December 3, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Cool, good news there then. I expect an absolute stampede of interest once the car is running out there. Might be unprecedented actually. Quote If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it. My Emira Videos | Into Motorcycles?

Del Lardo Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Pretty standard I'd imagine. I was recording some videos for our website last week, it was roughly 1 hour of footage for a 5 minute video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Evotion Posted December 3, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Yeah, I think the point is: 1 hour footage > 5 minute video = 12 hours of work.

Bibs Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 I'm in the middle of an edit of a 1 hour 20 min video of a conference I filmed on Wednesday. 2 days of editing and as I said, I'm in the middle and that's only 2 cameras and graphics going on. The biggest job we did was over 20 cameras of a 2 hour long concert at the Palladium with over 120 sound sources going into Logic Pro. That's over 40 hours of footage and a lot of sound to balance, it took a while to come together!

Gold FFM Evotion Posted December 4, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Nice, My videos are poor quality wise. Just don't have the time or skills. When I look at Carfection, Triple F, etc, I weep 🙈 Looking forward to a video of the Emora being ragged on country roads. Oh yes. Quote If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it.

Does it have the V7 engine or the i9? Is the suspension Road/Street/Tour/Track/Race? How many cupholders/suitcase/phoneslots/newspaper racks does it have? Is the configurator online?

Gold FFM TomE Posted December 15, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Good to see (and hear). Useful for Gav to explain the driving modes - we beat him to it on that He’s side-stepped talking about Sports vs Touring suspension - a missed opportunity (and yes I know it was covered in the Smoking Tire podcast but that was about 60 mins into a 70 min interview) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The track orientated reviewers are going to love that you can switch all the aids off, apart from ABS. I don't think I will go any higher than Race myself. The main problem with this video is that it further cements how bloody brilliant this car will be dynamically and we have to wait even longer to now get the thing. 😩 Quote If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it.

Gold FFM TomE Posted December 15, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Race mode is witchcraft. Not recommended for road use and you do need to "set" it before first use in anger, but amazing in operation. Sport (mode not suspension!) will be great for majority of the time. I know I and most other Evora drivers hit the Sport button every time we start the car. There's a useful write up on DPM and videos of an Exige going round Hethel in each mode here: https://www.thelotusforums.com/latest-news/lotus-cars-news/tlf-on-dpm/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
