Good write up Scott
Not many Manufacturers would devote that amount of time and effort to win the hearts and minds of current Lotus enthusiasts about their strategy for the future

Congrats on the excellent write up Scott, and also for the number and quality of the pictures you took. Apart from the cars, the size of their computer was something else.
Glad now that I did not win it, no way could I have matched photos like that, even if I had remembered to take Verian's camera to take any. I wonder if I had lent you my video sunglasses whether they would have spotted them.

Grand writeup, Scott, don't see that you could add much to that and the pics do indeed tell quite a story.
Matt black Club Racer, eh...destined for abroad I think, judging by positioning of the wheel. Nice package those, for sure. Now a wee supercharger just to bring power to weight up a touch...hmm. Mr Bahar, are you listening...

Great write up Scott!
I was excited (and very jealous) just reading it - must have been truly awesome to be there - loved seeing every one of your photos; from the factory, the classic team lotus, and the F1 stuff.

Really good to read this, it's now routine to come in here every day for work but it looks and sounds lots more exciting through the eyes of a third party! Glad you enjoyed it Scott, sorry I wasn't here to say hello. I have to help host 22 US customers on a similar event on Thursday/Friday...including a speech

Tour was epic, really enjoyed myself. Hope your hosting goes well, I'll be down near you tomorrow, heading down to Stevenage for a random road trip with my mate in Kennys old diesel pug with 140k on the clock, should be interesting!
