Previously , Dave, owner of Seriously Lotus arranged a factory tour and presentation with Nitron CEO, Guy Evans.

 

I have been an enthusiast of Nitrons since 2007 and so it was a great day out to learn a lot more about what makes their product special.

 

Just some details about the last visit, shared with the Seloc forum, here - http://www.seloc.org...n-factory-tour/

 

 

I have emailed Dave enquiring about another visit and he has just got back to me and spoken to Nitron and they are happy to organise another visit.

 

If people can give some feedback I can pass this to Dave  , I would suggest we ask for date fairly soon as the factory will already be busy for the upcoming season.

 

I would suggest that it be a Saturday , start 10am , same as last time. Location is Oxford, plenty of parking.

Sounds like a great idea but I wouldn't want to sign up now and droop out at the last minute.

 

 

Make sure your calculations allow for a reasonable amount of droop  outs!

There's a very nice Thai place close to the Santander building in MK if all you want is lunch, Matt.

Honest, it's not just the lunch, watching the damper dyno in action was fascinating. :wacko: :lol:

Oh i agree, plus I'd like a chance to explore the droop vs. extra long eyelet issue from the people who made them, as I have the faint suspicion it was mainly raised to sell a different brand of dampers.
