Seriously, WTF lotus? Clearly no one wore sunglasses during any of the UAT on the cars. Polarised sunglasses are known to do that to LCD screens (which is why pilots aren't allowed to wear them). That is hardly Lotus's fault, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is hardly Lotus's fault, is it? Depends on which direction the polarising filter works Tilt you head 45 degrees and it's clear, so yes it is Lotus fault to select LCDs that are polarised in the same plane as sunglasses.

I sat in the 410 at Bealieu this weekend.... fuck me those seats are not for "big boned" people. I have two bruises in my thighs from the seat corners by the lapbelt cut outs.

That's the very reason why pilots can't use polarised sunglasses in glass cockpits. The same applies to cars. It's not Lotus's fault. Use non-polarised sunglasses.

Assuming it's the same as my S1, there is indeed. It's not obvious. Indeed I didn't find it myself. A nice Italian petrol station attendant showed me when I'd already owned the car for almost a year! It's hard to explain, but I'll try: It clips onto the filler flap. Turn the cap so the top (outside) of the cap is pointing away from you, towards the centre line of the car, and it clips onto the inboard side of the flap. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAR Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Love that one, I have the same problem on the 400 and I am SO excited to try this on the car tonight! I think I will start a thread on tips to use a car so people can give me more of such wisdom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially like the way that you captured the little graphic that tells people how to do this. The same one that we all missed up to this point. I'm thinking of tracking down that Italian petrol station attendant and shaking him by the hand. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell him I said "Hi" ? https://goo.gl/maps/rYqpQYbex6m It's a lovely area to visit. Quite close to the Mugello circuit, and there were 5 Lamborghinis filling up last time I was there. Of course the petrol cap tip was the best part of the trip. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian73 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 410's have started arriving at US dealers. I know of one that has gone home in Austin TX where owner lives close to the dealer. My trip to pick up my GP Edition has been delayed until next week so as to avoid Hurricane Harvey flooding. Two GP Editions at a midwest dealership are destined to an owner in California. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
