Having now sold my Ultima I am looking for a new toy. I want something that is going to be fun to chuck round the twistys and I have always wanted a Caterham.
My previous car was a Westfield XI that had a diddy 1275 A series coupled with skinny hard tyres and it was a blast to drive on and off the track. Two things worry me about the 310r, firstly is it going to seem too slow after the Ultima and secondly, are they overtyred with the 8" rears.
One of the above I can sort with a test drive, but the other isn't really something that I can establish on a test.
Over to you.

I like my car to turn in well and be able to steer the rear on the throttle. I am not chasing lap times, I want playful. Looks like I may need to budget for another set of wheels if the car comes with larger rears.
I seem to recall that when Chris Harris reviewed the Supersport R he said it had 175s all round. What is this obsession with larger than larger tyres? Surely, this just makes the transition between stick and twist more extreme?
