Hi Darryl, really looking forward to the tour and mum + dad have asked if they can tag along. So me + 3 if there is spaces available.

Cheers Dan

[DarrylV8]

Hi Dan,

places are on a first come basis; so yes your mum and dad are very welcome and are on the list, may be you need to get them over to Central Lotus so they can get their own Lotus?

[Dan MM]

Ok thanks Darryl that's great! I was hoping they might be feeling generous it being my birthday!

Hi Andy & Dan,

we will be leaving macdonalds car park (NG24 2DB) A1/A46 at 7.15 if you want to drive to factory together?

[Dan MM]

Hi Darryl,

I might be heading down the night before (to avoid waking the parents up too early) so will meet you at the factory, if anything changes I will drop you a txt. I'm unsure how long the tours usually take but maybe we could meet for a pub lunch before heading back? 

 

Dan

[DarrylV8]

Hi Dan,

lunch sounds good for us

[Dan MM]

Good stuff, What are you planning in driving down in? And do you know how long the tour will be ?

[DarrylV8]

Hi Dan,

we are in the Evora with us having Cory with us.

tour should be about two hours, hopefully about 20 - 30 minutes in the factory shop.

[Rancid]

From where I live it's easier for me to go through Melton to the A1, so will probably go that way.

Undecided on which car to go in - depends on the weather really, but not sure I can do 2.5hrs in the Exige so may have to be the M3.

[DarrylV8]

Hi Andy,

we have been up Scotland twice in the roadster about 7 hours each way each time and we both get out feeling good, we have done a track day at Hethal and then driven home no issues

[Rancid]

Hi Darryl

It's not the car that could be a problem, but my back and dodgy shoulder!

I suppose it'd be a shame not to take the car back to its roots though...

[DarrylV8]

I need to confirm final numbers to Lotus this Friday morning and make payment, there are a few places left for anyone who is interested

[DarrylV8]

Dan you need to get your parents to take their credit card, factory shop is going to be open
