Lotus Service Clinic & Rally to Davenport
Posted on Fri, Jul 15, 2011 @ 06:43 PM
Lotus Los Gatos and Lotus San Francisco joined forces again last Saturday and hosted a well-received Lotus event for their Lotus clients and fellow Lotus enthusiasts. A much welcome addition to the guest list this time were members of the Golden Gate Lotus Club, including the club's President Joel Lipkin, PhD. Throughout the exciting day, there was plenty of opportunity to mingle and talk shop for all the passionate Lotus owners and the chance to test drive the new Evora S.
The Los Gatos and San Francisco groups gathered at their respective service locations where a savory bagel & lox breakfast got everyone off to a great start. In addition, the Lotus service teams at the San Francisco and Los Gatos dealerships offered multi-point inspections free of charge, including a "trackworthiness check" for anyone planning to attend the Golden Gate Lotus Club Track Day at Thunderhill Raceway on July 12. The relaxed morning clinics at the Los Gatos and San Francisco service locations were followed by an exhilarating Lotus rally, all in all 23 Lotus-brand vehicles ranging in age three decades and models including the Esprit, Elise, Exige and Evora.
The Lotus rally led the groups from the San Francisco and Los Gatos service locations up into the scenic Santa Cruz Mountains, along picturesque Skyline Boulevard and onto winding Highway 84 towards the Coast. Following a short stretch on PCH, the two convoys rolled into Davenport Roadhouse to meet up for a group lunch hosted by Lotus San Francisco and Lotus Los Gatos. An amazing range of coastal cuisine was served, and the hosts from both dealerships received plenty of praise for putting on an impeccable and highly enjoyable event.
In his feedback of the day, Golden Gate Lotus Club member Mark Z. summarized his experience with some kind words: "I had a great time and it was a nice introduction to the British Motor Exotics facility and its team [...] The whole day was outstanding." Indeed, it was a fun event, and we look forward to doing it again soon!
