When i was 18 I had a caterham super 7. Didn't even mean to buy it. Scariest car I've ever drove. ****er was as fast off the mark as a motorbike. It blew up and I just left it on the side of the A21
My favourite car was my Audi A4. Purely because it was next to new and I was only 18 or 19 when I bought it. Rolling like a boss.
Another frightening thing. A bolsa wood and plastic lump of **** that weighs the same as a bag of crisps, with a massively powerful engine under the lid. Tail happy lunacy. I offed one spectacularly on a track day years ago.
Mine was racing green with a 2.2 ford engine in it. ****ing terrifying. I pulled up at the lights In Kidbrooke and some guy leant out his window and asked how fast it went. I said watch me pull off from the lights.... 10 seconds later I'd flipped it over a barrier. Quite embarrassing really
Tobes will know more about it, but I think the newer models are much more user friendly. The old 70’s, 80’s and 90’s ones were lethal in careless hands.
I did race an old Ferrari in it one day. The geezer driving the Ferrari had never seen one and couldn't believe how quick off the line it was. Top speed the Ferrari made me look like a tortoise. But off the line I smashed him. Going 100mph in a caterham super 7 is seriously scary. I used to pull over in the motorway layby with the engine running, inject some cocaine then full throttle the ****er. Mad ****. Most intense buzz you'll ever get. Every sense in overdrive times 100.
