Just purchased new 7 subject to money clearing
Just bought my first caterham today, and am really pleased!
Not powerful by some people's standards but very light and well set up. Full cage, carbon tillet seats etc. more details and pics later this
week!

You've gone to the dark side Dan! 
Can i have a sausage in a stick with onions then please?
Oh, you meant a Caterham (car with 4 wheels) and not a catering van........................
Time for a change!

I see it more as an achievement accomplished! Always wanted one since I was young and at the ripe old age of 30 I've got it!
Would love to have a few rides out with any northern meets! If allowed.lol

Excellent, glad your keeping to a 7 style car. Would be good to see how you think it compares to the mnr.
Get pics up!

cant really fault the mnr really. ive had 2 of them and both very good quality.
the ability to have a decent screen and proper weather gear is what swayed me to the caterham, plus the handling
its surprising how small it is compared to the mnr. its tiny!

Nice one!
I loved mine... the only problem was that it was just too small for my size 12 feet!
It's Evolution Baby!

wouldnt want to add any un-necessary weigh franky. so im working out.getting fit. lightweight car,small engine,probably the best 7 type chassis,
that way when we meet on track, and your either in your hairdressers car or your old heavy 7, ill just drive straight round the outside of you round a
corner and you wont see me again till i lap you! lol

these cars are all about balance, not understeer into corners to oversteer on the way out then blasting down straights. at roadspeeds this should be
awesome, and it has a stack dash like the r500

I know, its lucky that you can only get the above combination with a caterham
Looks like a nice car, must be nice to have something to use, slightly gutting to see your old car go too?

mnr did look good, I bet he's pleased with it. It grew on me, wasn't sure at first, but looked ace in that garage with the other
mnr's.
