Re: Today’s want



I'm still casually looking at Caterhams as a future purchase. I'm not after bonkers power as it will be a road car so would prefer something I can rev out through the gears occasionally and not be doing licence losing speeds in a few seconds. I'm also looking at newer models so this brings me to ...

Re: EV Thread

A future spotted for anyone who can get to the testing at Cadwell park on Thursday. The Stratos that was in the Roger Albert Clark rally has been fitted with tarmac suspension and will be sending it around the circuit :D

Re: Cycling Thread

I had the dreaded derailleur into the rear wheel over the weekend. Somehow the derailleur hangar didn't snap and I was able to coax things back into shape to continue the ride although it was far from perfect. No idea what caused at as up until it happened the bike was changing gear perfectly, the ...

Re: Dutton is back

It would look 1000 x better if they didn't have the grille sticking so far out, just have it follow the contours of the body

Re: Your fleet running reports

The Volvo V60 has just passed the MOT without any advisories. I had it done at Volvo as it has MOT cover so if they find anything they can fix it, nothing untoward was found :D

The live traffic info (red and green on the map) has never worked in my ownership and is a common problem according to ...

We have a family friend who lives in Florida who has just been over to visit. According to them there is still a very large percentage of the population who think the orange idiot can do no wrong, bizarre.

Spotted today what I thought was a very tidy Austin Healey 3000 but on closer inspection there were quite a few subtle differences. A plate search revealed it as a Sebring, very nice

Re: Today’s want


While I like that Caterham, I bet it wasn't much cheaper than the one John posted recently. I'd be going for the much newer one with the Sigma engine.

ETA: OK, a fair few grand cheaper and does have a 6-sp box and more power. But it's over 20 years older:
