The road from LOG 31 (Video)

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

Timelapse video of 3 Elises driving back from Lotus Owners Gathering 31 (LOG 31) in Vegas back to the Bay Area through Death Valley and Sonora Pass. Route chosen by Steve M and video by John Z, I just tagged along to make up the numbers :)

It was a spectacular drive with Sonora Pass (skip to the 3:10 mark in the video to see footage) with almost no traffic and excellent asphalt quality. The pass is closed for significant portions of the year due to snow so you should call ahead before you make the journey. Full route info below:

Travelling the US in an Elise

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

Doug just put up a video of Jared and his trip across the US in their Elises. They drove 8000+ miles in 25 days and met many other Lotus owners across the country, I met them for dinner when they stopped of in the Bay area. The camaraderie within the Lotus community is amazing, I cant think of another marque that has such a welcoming network of enthusiasts around the world – the legendary Lotus unreliability and the Travelers assistance network definitely helped create it :-) .

I am planning on driving to Vancouver and back in June, I hope I have as much fun – just need to convince Nithya that I need a ChaseCam to record the trip :-D . You can read more about Dougs trip on his blog or on the original EliseTalk thread.
