- The Scottish highlands are like nowhere else in the world. Breathtaking scenery, the cleanest of air and, most importantly, the greatest roads you could ever hope to find anywhere. After collecting the hardcore Lotus Exige Cup 430 from Lotus HQ, I ventured north for a week in the highlands. Enjoy!
Thank you, Catherine!
Them bag pipes at the beginning really hit hard. What a car and what roads. Thats the dream right there.
Thought I'd go nice and traditional with this one!
Amazing roadtrip with the best british sportcar. Thank you so much it is unreal. Love that car so much 🥰😉👍🇬🇧🇫🇷
Great car and great roads!Yessir we can boogie......
Scotland has some incredible scenery with some gorgeous winding roads.... Lovely video.
Every box ticked 👍🇬🇧🥇 car, colour,spec,route. Brilliant.
Everything about this video is epic! The visuals, the music, the car. Bucket list stuff!
Great to see a video about the absolute pleasure of touring. The perfect vehicle for the job. And thanks Catherine!
Scotland 🏴 is beautiful, and to experience it in a nice car is a dream 💭
Wonderful video Mike. Wonderful scenery. I enjoy my daily drives in the mountain roads of New Hampshire for the same reasons.
PS: Thanks Catherine for the video work!
It's a long drive up there, but always worth it. I hope everything in New Hampshire is going smoothly!
Fantastic. I have family who live up on Lewis and Harris and the drive to Uig for the ferry is some of the best scenery I've seen
Very cool, I'll need to get up to Harris some day!
Awesome. I love the highlands and the exige so this was a great treat especially that mirror image view in the loch. You wouldn’t know that it was supercharged, it doesn’t make that much noise which is great because the engine and exhaust can still sing so thanks for the clips at the end.
That’s surreal mate
Thanks for sharing Mike and Catherine. Brings back good memories of my trip to Scotland.
The green is just beautiful.
we have the same views and roads in Bulgaria. Just remember to make the trip in end of May to end of June
I bloody love Scotland and it's a shame it's not further south for better weather.
Such a great video Mike👍 a real good effort.
Thanks!
Really great video, Mike. One can tell that it is an amateur video but that gives it a different charm. Keep doing these videos and keep being yourself Mike.
Thanks! This channel is all just small additions to the bigger and better DriveTribe content on the main channel, so nothing too special or high quality!

I love the design of the Exige so, so much. I love the way it's evolved over its time, especially series 3 and onwards.
Onwards?! Series 3 is the current version...
If you drive a Lotus, you know this smile @6:43... and it won't go away 🙂
2 mike videos in one day. What a Sunday ☺️
You're welcome!
Special car, special scenery.
Nice car, nice places, and nice músic!
Good review of Scotland
Desperately needed some PS4's for this trip, the cup 2's are great on track in the dry but for mixed conditions road driving the PS4 is an absolute weapon.
True, but if Lotus offer you a free car you don't turn it down 😏
@@SChapps Can't say I would 😂
Thanks dear Katherine and thanks Mike.
Key Takeaway: your wiper works better than mine and perfekt weather for the exige 😜
Looks like i need to go to Scotland even more now

Power 💣
6:05 Ladies and gents.... the Lancashire Fusilier. Built in 1937 by the Armstrong Whitworth Company at the Scotswood Works plant in Newcastle-on-Tyne for the L.M.S Railway 🚂🚋🚃🚋🚃
Awesome knowledge!
I love the visuals man. The audio really needs some help. Bagpipes were great at the top, but just out of the right channel. Really want to drive this car.

Nice one - far from amateurish in my opinion, some of those Loch shots were as good as any I've seen...
What like was that front splitter on these roads? I'm planning a 380 later this year but the carbon splitter on them is a worry!
How you managed with your luggage during the trip with this car?
Are there many speed traps/cameras in Scotland?
What did Catherine really think of her time with the Exige...and with Mike?
Is this a new lotus?
They started making this car in 2017 I think
Lotus, for track and b roads not Instagram
日本人で見てる人いいね👍。
Good times, rubbish weather.
Cheers Lindsay, good luck with the Radical next year!
Ahh Lotus, a car I would love to drive but not own. Pretty much all European cars. It’s why I buy Japanese.
Well you are in luck! The Exige drivetrain is all Japanese!
Modern Lotus are pretty much bulletproof. Many of us own and regularly track these V6 Exiges and you would not believe how well they take it.
So you drivd the bestsounding V6 EVER and then put music on every.single.driveby.scene? Shame on you sir; shame on you...
mike.
you can not take an English lesson.
it will make you easier to understand.
for all of us who do not have English as our first language.
thanks.
I am speaking perfect English, it's my accent that you're struggling with I'm afraid, and there's nothing I can do about that! My accent is my accent!
@@mikedrivetribe8314 ahaha great response
