A trip to Hethel…
Monday, September 24th, 2007Went to Hethel in Norfolk yesterday to visit the Lotus factory. The reason for this was that it was their 40th anniversary of being there. After a long drive down camera infested roads (and a Sat Nav that took me to a closed road) we made it there and were quite impressed with everything Lotus had laid on.

We could pretty much wander anywhere in the factory and see displays on the design, manufacture & testing of the cars. A lot of stalls and cars on display, as well as a chance to be driven around the test track in one of the meaty Exiges by a professional driver. Lots of tyre smoke, and a very long queue.
Had a good time and added some more pictures to the gallery.
