I’d gobble Beany off before I bought a VX220.

And VXR8? Please.

i nearly bought a vx220 about 15 years ago - I got turned down on the finance because I was crap with money after uni- I guess I got lucky, I didn’t realise I’d have to do “that”...

I just can't believe he's selling the Caterham after all the work he's had done to it. I know he's probably making a margin on it but it had to be used a tad more beforehand, didn't it.

Anyway he always comes up with some awesome shit so I guess it's popcorn time.

Coming up on 2 years ive had the Elise. Pity the buying thread was lost on the old forum. Was good to look back on the journey.

But reasons. I fancied something daft after the Elise went and a flourescent yellow car with no windscreen seemed to fit that bill. I enjoyed the journey of buying it and researching its history but quickly realised that the plans I had for it made no sense. Caterhams are really sensitive to spec and history and this being an SLR with provenance had a value that was reallyu closely tied to being the spec it was. So the cage I'd bought and other fancy carbon bits didn't get fitted. Instead I essentially did a restoration and the car now is as it left the factory, but just with the spec polished slightly to improve it and make it better to drive. If I was going too sell I had to do it now or wait until next summer. So I but out a tentative 'I might sell this' on Instagram and lo and behold, someone who'd been hooked on my PH thread got in touch with money in his pocket very keen to buy. They're the best sales. They require no effort, not even an advert and you can almost name your price. I'll probably have another but I'd buy an ex-race car. They're miles cheaper and would suit me more in terms of spec.

I didn't really enjoy it at first, but over the months have grown to really enjoy it. The weather's obviously been perfect for a car like this and taking it out in convoy with some quick cars made me realise the performance it had when you really pushed it was actually really impressive. Everyone should have one at some point. Worst case I got to enjoy a bonkers Caterham for the summer and made a few grand. Now it's going, I will miss it and so will my kids which is an absolute first for any of my cars.

Been driving since 9am to get my dad to the importer. Think he’s turned into a full redneck now :lol:

You’d think Dodge should just start selling the Ram at U.K. dealers what with the amount that get imported here.
How about not having a sig at all?

Might as well as I can’t get any closer to it to take better pics since there’s no space for parking and I’m babysitting the dog.
At least it’s a V8 this time, none of the ecoboost disappointment from last time.
