Factory Visit.

Recommended Posts

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 :blush: 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 :rolleyes::D

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 :rolleyes:

That's it.

 

That's all you've got.

 

What about the Exige?

 

What about a supercharger?

 

What about the future Esprit?

Mum says how do you go about doing the factory visits re: times etc, we only normally go at weekends but could maybe extend a visit into a weekday, also how much does it cost? :unsure:

Martin, make him clean the Elise a few times for his cheek, but do take him if you get the chance :lol: 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 :D
