Collecting my New Lotus Emira and Riding Phoenix Cycleworks Bike Park!

Спорт

18 long months after putting down a deposit at goodwood festival of speed today is finally the day I get to collect my new lotus emira first edition from the lotus factory in Hethel! After a factory tour and a few laps with Gavin Kershaw on the famous Lotus test track it's time to peel back the covers and see my car for the first time! Then the bike goes on the roof and we drive to Phoenix Cycleworks bike park to ride for the first time, but with only an hour until it closes we try to ride every track as fast as we can!

Thanks to everyone at Lotus Cars for an amazing handover experience!

    I'd forgotten about the Goodwood deposit! Love Lotus and not just cause they're local. Seen a Porsche bomb about the bypass next to where I walk the dogs recently in a similar shade of blue and looking mighty fine. Nice to see a factory tour & laps of the test track - it looked like your drone skills were struggling to keep up with it's acceleration at times! Glad you managed to nip down the A11 and squeeze in a quick trip to Phoenix Cycleworks before closing, as in the few videos Sam Pilgrim's done down there it's come on in leaps & bounds in recent months. Handy link to it in your 'mentioned places' section of your description and from the satellite map that opens up, it's clear they've got a lot more space to play with on both sides of the A14. Looking forward to your return there for a fuller session...

    I considered a corvette, but to me the Lotus is far nicer looking and available with a manual, and priced competitively. Also, I’ve owned a Z06 Corvette and was not impressed with build quality. Also I’ve always wanted a Lotus…but found the Elise’s to cramped for my build.
