Motoring entertainment for Easter April 11, 2009
Posted by richard in : Uncategorized , trackbackLIVE in Norwich? Stuck for something to do over Easter? Got a car that’s spizzy through the corners?
Then get yourself over to one of Lotus’ own test routes, and enjoy some of the best roads in the district.
I did this, a few years back, on the Elise S launch. That’s the one with the old Corolla 1.8-litre engine, by the way – proving that 134bhp is just enough. It’s a sublime car.
The routes were as good, though. Google Maps will give you an idea, but a brief overview from the company’s Wymondham base will see you heading…
• North on the A47
• North on the B1145, just past Honingham
• Swinging onto the B1354 at Aylsam
• Peeling off onto the B1149 at Saxthorpe
• Threading through Little Thornage, then sniffing out the B1156
That gets you to Burnham. It got me to a hotel just outside Burnham. And, back to the factory the next day? Well, we headed…
• South on the B1355
• South on the B1146
• Just past Dereham, south on the B1135
Top stuff, and not a motorway in sight. Hark! What’s that ticking noise? Probably Lotus’ red Elise S test car, still cooling down.
Yes, you could say I enjoyed it.
