Martin R Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Liz and i have just returned from a week in Norfolk. We did the factory visit last Wednesday. It,s well worth the effort if you are ever down that way. There was 3 people from Australia and 2 from Canada and a couple of Americans and i thought it was a long way for us Apparently last week saw the end of VX 220 production at Hethel as the 3 year contract has run out. Lotus seem well pleased with the deal the recieved for producing them from Vauxhall. I bought a baseball cap from the Lotus shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin R Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 Darren, it,s well worth a visit. I enjoyed it. It was laid back compared to other car manufacteurers. That is probably due to the relativly low volume i should imagine. Get dad to take you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the Exige? What about a supercharger? What about the future Esprit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin R Posted July 4, 2005 Author Share Posted July 4, 2005 Helping myself to a 240R did cross my mind i must admit. I think they may have noticed though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin R Posted July 4, 2005 Author Share Posted July 4, 2005 Martin, make him clean the Elise a few times for his cheek, but do take him if you get the chance Oh i forgot to mention Liz,s Lotus t shirt cost me 18 quid as well. On the bright side the 42 pound top did not have her size. Keep out of the shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
