Visiting my brother for the weekend. Nice little coastal town an hour south of Adelaide.

Plenty of good roads around to explore.

My son is at Coffin Bay ATM

 

Stunning .

 

One of the most beautiful places in Australia. Not to mention the oysters…

 

Steve I sighted a yellow Emira yesterday and IMO it looked fabulous. It's quite noticeably smaller than the McLaren/Ferrari/Lamborghini offerings which I found appealing.

 

That's why he's there.

 

Bruny Island Oysters are also special.

 

Probably the best I've ever has.

 

You do know we will be having them for lunch from the Oyster get chucked shack.

Derrr

Why do you think I'm coming?


BTW, that's where we got them from in May with Wes.

 

That is beautiful! Hope you’re having fun man.

 

Just as well I'm not going...can't stand 'em and I've tried several times...all the more for you mob.

 

I reckon we all buy them there ,drive to Mt Wellington and eat them in the cold and snow !

 

Completely agree - and the fact that it almost matches them for styling is a bonus given the robustness of the drivetrain.

Ok, the Emira can't match the 296, a car I'm completely in enamoured with but its a fabulously looking car.

One enigma I can't resolve its how the hell a C8 trades over a significant premium over its retail price but the Lotus doesn't.

I gave this Emira some serious thought - I love metallic green over tan.

Odd for a QLDer

 

Not a bad angle in those shots. Run in yet?

 

Yeah well I'm an odd Q/lander.

 

No, that's not true! Said nobody on here ever.

 

Silence is golden.

 

Yeah. Run in and had oil / filter change a couple of weeks ago, so can now drive it properly.

I’m genuinely thrilled with it. It’s better in every respect than I had hoped.

It looks superb, drives beautifully, is comfortable, plenty fast enough for the road and everything actually works.

Don’t get me wrong - I’d buy a 296 in a heartbeat if I could afford one, but do I really think it’d be 4 x better than the Emira (given it’s 4 x the price)?

Not a chance.

One of the best decisions I ever made was selling the 355 and getting this and a beach house in return.

 

Beach house definitley sounds the goods.

What are these Emiras worth?

 

Anyone watching the GREAT RACE today?

I will watch a little before it's night night time.

 

You going for the post whore record mate ?

 

You got an Emira AND a beach house for the price of the 355?!
