2018.02.25: Trip to Wellington Farm Shop


I like to use the Elise at least once a week, so on Sunday 25th of February, I decided to drive to the Wellington Farm Shop (RG27 0LT). It’s roughly 25 miles for me. Avoid the motorway and the roads from Newbury are quite nice (if a bit bumpy). I didn’t stop for an English Breakfast (I think it’s great they open at 08:30 on Sunday for breakfast) because I wasn’t that hungry (need to go for an early morning run to give me some appetite). Next time I go I’ll video the journey and try out the breakfast too!

Putting the postcode into Waze - or any other Sat Nav for that matter - you will not find the entrance. The entrance is not on the A33 but on Welsh Lane and looks like the below image.

After returning home, doing a bit of shopping (I’ve bought my first new pressure washer - I had a reconditioned one that didn’t work), and washing the Lotus Elise, it was time to put on a new car cover I bought from the https://www.thelotusforums.com/shop. The new car cover is heavier than the silvery cover I used before, and I think better but time will tell (will be on the look-out for scuffs). It doesn’t flap around in the wind anything like as much. And has 4 straps so it won’t lift at the front. It is also blue to match my car(s) and looks like in the picture below.

I’m pretty sure that ‘The Lotus Forums’ use Specialised Covers.

Odometer now up to ~ 5350 miles.
