Blue with a black roof.

Of course.

I am mixed emotion about the black roof, I do love it….just not 100% sure.

Blue is my choice of colour, but my wife says I will look ridiculous getting into it with my usual all blue attire….will see

Pfft. No-one looks ridiculous getting into or out of a Lotus

Which shade though; navy blue because you are a postman, or all-over International Klein Blue, as you are in the Blue Man Group?

Very true.

Blue man group (funny she said I should join them)

I CANT wait to take delivery….never bought a new car before (on principle due to depreciation), but the second I saw it I knew I had to have one. Kidney on eBay as a type

Does she often try to take enjoyment out of things, or make snide remarks? Or did you have the audacity to spec your car in the way you wanted it...

Well being the master of the house I do exactly what I want….when and how I am told to .

I have flip flopped….spec call happening today:

V6 FE
Manual
Blue (no upper black)
Yellow callipers
Diamond cut silver / black wheels
Sports
Goodyear’s
Black / yellow stitching
Black leather steering wheel
Homelink / Tracker
Tinted glass (assuming not gangster dark)

I thought his video was great. He is always so “real world” with his reviews.

He seemed genuinely impressed.

Anyone going to the viewing events in London this week at Duke’s?

This was my final spec and additional 3k paid:

Blue, Silver wheels, yellow calipers.
Alcantera / yellow interior
Tracker
NO privacy glass


However upon seeing the paint samples in the flesh, the red seems quite a bit brighter than the configurator suggest so I am tempted to go red now, especially as the metallic in the red also seemed to really pop, whereas the metallic in the blue is rather subdued. I am really hoping Lotus will get a red car out on display before the spec and final deposit of £2800 is requested in Dec/Jan time.

Exactly how my current spec is looking. May add black pack (or wrap it black - same effect, cheaper with protection). Nimbus grey also nagging me.

One thing for certain though is that it looked epic in the flesh (in blue).
