Any more info or links for this event please?

I hope that helps.

If it's the same as the alpine tour, it's more of an adventure and sightseeing tour, whilst enjoying the best roads along the way, even going off track to get to them. A bit different than the Gumball or Cannonball events.

Eventhing is arranged for you and you just enjoy the roads and the scenery and have fun with the other cars. I was so disapointed when the Alpine run finished.

It would be good to have another Esprit in the pack.

Go on....do it. You won't regret it. :yes

Nick,

23rd Sept is Lotus Factory day so clash of dates sadly :crybaby:

No contest in my opinion.........Millau bridge in France.

I'm not sure what the factory day consists of but compare that to 3-4 days of driving fun abroad on roads you can't get in Blighty, with loads of other sports cars and then get see the biggest bridge in the world.

I bet the weather will be better too.

I've been to the factory a few years ago. 1 hour to look around the shop floor and then there was nothing else to see.

Also it's not just visiting the factory, it's the social with all the other members of our family that turn up. I'd have loved to do this but I'm afraid it'll have to be next time.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

[Tentenths]

And when we say 'social' what we actually mean is

Must admit the Milau Bridge Trip does sound awfully tempting though. But announcing to mission control that we're curtailing our holiday by three days so I can go hooning round France wouldn't, I suspect, be one of my more popular moves

40th Birthday? Yes, that should be a good day out and if I can't make the Millau Bridge trip, I shall make my may to Hethel.

But if I can.....I'm off to the bridge.
