The pod was up in Durness, not far from that lovely beach in the photo. It was brand new and really quite luxurious inside. Quite glad I wasn't camping, as although it was wall to wall blue skies it was also blowing a hoolie up there. I was amazed how booked up everything was at this time of year. There was literally nothing in Portree without paying silly money.

Great for the tourist sector though. They are probably still clawing their way back from the pandemic.

Great pods and restaurant at Sands Campsite, Gairloch and also more basic ones at Applecross (great new shower block there). Just mind your alloys on both the Bealach and the coastal access to Applecross. Pothole hell

Interesting to see that the second-hand market now has them down to the original launch price, hopefully slowed for the owners on here.

Didn't think I would be back in a Lotus again, but was offered what I thought was a great deal towards the end of last year, so picked this up last October.

Did you go V6 or I4 ?

Looks nice, probably the same colour combo I was going for before I cancelled my order

It's an i4, I originally put a deposit down the day they were announced at Goodwood, but after almost three years waiting I gave up and canceled, then I was offered this which is almost the same spec I'd originally chosen. Happy days.
