I'm wanting to experience some trackdays and wondered if anyone knows any good companys that will do hire cars for track days. Something like an elise.
I know BAT do the caterhams but being 6'2" and 18 Stone I doubt I'll fit in a caterham.

Thanks for that. I've sent you an email.. Don't suppose anyone in the midlands has an SV I could
come and sit in. I'm just big boned.. I can just get in a widebody westfield but wouldn't like to drive it
fast as my knees are cramed up against the steering wheel. Are the SV's any bigger..?

SV's are massively bigger than the standard caterham - i'd go so far as to say they are probably even bigger than a westfield.

i'm 5'10" and i can't quite get the clutch to the bulkhead in our SV.

I'm a bloater, and my bloater boss and myself sat side by side in an SV at the Canary Wharf Motor Show a few years ago. He subsequently bought one and is chuffed to bits with it. I'm 6'3" and 19st and he isn't far off that size, and we both fitted.

Yep, I'm 6'3" and our Caterham CSR260 is the only car I've ever sat in and needed to pull the seat forward. You'd also be fine in our Atom, Elise and Clio 182 Cup.

I remember our conversation about businessmen's arses. I'm proud to say my (somewhat broad) businessman's arse actually fitted in your Superlight!

MUST get around to booking a Caterham off BaT again...what a hoot!
