Hmmm, i'm pretty sure we had the discussion that the R300 or R400 would have been suffice for your needs!

Glad to see you saw sense!! will be up at the beginning of Sep for a little look

I'm a lost cause. If I can, I probably will.

Give us a shout when you're up.

You do realise that now means you have to come to BTaP and bring it don't you?

How do you get ANY work done?

Those roads + that car = me bankrupt within a year due to zero work getting done.

Fantastic Steve, congrats!

In true Sad Git tradition, I get up at about 05.30 and drive for an hour or two. The only thing I ever see are deer and sheep. That sounds good, but the deer up here are really stupid and REALLY big, and ALWAYS move the wrong way.

By 09.30 (at this time of year) the tourists are out with their heads well and truly stuck up their backsides, so progress is impossible. So car goes back into garage and I can work - to pay for it.

I ordered the car early Jan, thinking I'd get it late March... (perfect) but Caterham are working flat out as the Krauts all want one now (Top Gear must be playing over there). To have it delivered late July was a bit of a shock. But mine is number 088 - so there are not many of us about!

I can officially confirm that this R500 is EVEN more bonkers than the 2002 version I had before. A bunch more horses, and 0-60 in under 2.9

OUCH

(That was my spine BTW)

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry at that figure!

I giggled. Honestly I did. Like a schoolgirl.

That's insane. It was insane to design it. Insane to build it. And thrice insane to drive it.

Sir. I doff my cap to you. You are a proper nutter.

Enjoy. And may you always keep it shiny side up and on the black bit.

Fantastic and on those roads

Oh and £249 for the dodgy plate (though I had to spend half of that for ANY plate).

Love the plate

That Sir, is THE definition of car porn. Cap suitably doffed. Congratulations on an excellent purchase.

2.9s to 60? Hope your spine stays intact !
