With
having the second car, it’s keeping the trips in my Lotus down to more special
journeys. On Saturday 17th February I drove my Lotus Elise into Riverside West
Car Park in Wandsworth, so I could get on the public transport to go across
London to the Excel Exhibition Centre and visit the London Classic Car Show. When
I get around to it, I’ll upload the video of my drive into London to my YouTube Channel.
I learnt
about the Riverside West Car Park from an advert in the Classic Cars magazine.
The location is good for me coming from the West. I never fancy driving through
Central London, so a decent car park to the west of centre is handy. Riverside
West Car Park is a very good car park, nice wide bays and excellent lighting.
You can even rent parking spaces, or even rent a garage within the car park.

- I wonder
if that’s where Shmee parks his cars?
The Lotus
Elise is actually a pretty good city car (who would have guessed) since it’s
small and nimble (take it steady over speed bumps though and keep an eye out
for potholes to avoid). I don’t have much issue with visibility either.
It was a
roughly 120-mile round trip. And with a few other smaller jaunts (like taking
the Elise to be washed in Tesco), this puts the mileage up to around 5300 miles.
I will
also post some iPhone videos from the London Classic Car Show to my YouTube Channel
(it’s a crap channel in all honesty, not managed even 1 follower, and frankly
it’s so crap I wouldn’t follow myself, but I quite enjoy posting crap.) It’s
difficult to get good footage (either photos or videos) from Car Shows when
there’s lots of people around (unless you’re patient - which I’m not - or more
professional than me - which isn’t hard to be.) A couple of my favourite photos
are below.
Not sure
much beats a red Lamborghini Countach for crazy cool looks.

which rhymes with Huntash)
I love the
Jaguar XJ220.
