Interesting Loan Car

[Hedgerley]

Finally got some time for a long weekend, celebrate our wedding anniversary. And the Esprit springs a radiator leak. Time to borrow something interesting for a few days.

What can I say - it's all true. An awesome bit of kit. The way it dealt with the Highland roads was uncanny. Performance, noise, presence, it has it in spades. Only downside - I had to return it last night.

No, but I was at Sainsbury on Friday evening.....where were you?

Should have mentioned we were at Cameron House Hotel, Loch Lomond where the Evora was launched. Who'd have thought that 6 years later I'd be rocking up in one.

And here it is parked on my drive. Some folks didn't quite believe me when I said I'd borrowed it for a few days....

Heresy I know, but as wonderful as it is it doesn't quite fit our motoring needs. Its probably an age thing but we err towards the GT side and the Esprit, with a bigger boot(s) and much more room inside (Evora +2 notwithstanding) suits us better. So we need Lotus to get on with the new Esprit or even a new (Bahar-type) Elite. Or something.

One other observation - its a magnet for tailgaters, dangerously so, especially the utter twonk in the BMW 1 Series on the hill above Abderfeldy - so close I couldn't see his headlights in the mirror at one point. At 60mph (ahem). Things like that can ruin your day.
