I was lucky enough to have this over the weekend:



Caterham's press 620R. 311bhp, 550kg (ok, 640kg with me on board), 6spd sequential box with flat upshifts, twin plate racing clutch, cut slicks.

Sweet holy mother of God it's quick. Like, utterly destroys anything I've driven before, type of quick.

I measured 0-60 in 2.9s and 0-100 in 6.6s on my iPhone App, which gives an idea of how mental it is even with the inaccuracy.

I've got deep purple bruises from squeezing in and out of the seat, but couldn't stop grinning the whole time - the performance at any time, any gear, any speed was just addictive.

Wow.

Here are some words I never expected to have need to use:

I appear to have bought a Passat.

Wasn't looking for it, but since the X5 has gone I need something to shift some stuff this weekend, and it was advertised by a mate, so deal done.

Will do while I find whatever's next.

I wonder what goes through the minds of the designers when they've completely nailed it and then get asked to give it a face-lift?...
