....I am sure you'll agree. But here is the first short film I have ever done featuring my mate Boonie ragging around in Caterham's.

looks like a laugh. The doughnuts around the cone are very impressive. I got my 1st ever track day at Brands Hatch on the 30th!! Some lotus exige or elise i think. Cant wait!

Good video

No. I've been to two of these now with Boonie and although Caterham's aren't really my thing I'm am feeling the urge to have a go next time but fear I may be pants at it ! (I have very large feet !) I did rag the Volvo round the track last year though ! (click pic)

im 6'6 and size 13 and had no trouble driving a caterham 7 superlight around a track... awesome machines, but not very forgiving, quite easy to get too much oversteer at first, takes some getting used to but adds to the fun lol :D

There was a super-7 type beasty at avon park running a V8 (from both the noise and the headers) which I thought would be a bit too lairy for it's own good. Can't remember what the 1/4mile was, so it couldn't have been that impressive.

There is so many different spec 7's now it make the mind boggle ! The silver one in the vid was a slightly wider one for lardy's (can't remember it's proper name !) which would fit me fine ! The slalom cars are also set up to slide and be very skitish, which gets worse as the 6 quid rear tyres wear out !

I think theyre 'SV' but yeah there are oodles of different machines, can be had fairly reasonable -15k ish for a new base model up to more than double for the mad v8s and big engined nutty machines!

My only regret is that I wasn't allowed a rag round in the ovlov this year ! I'd put new springs 'n' shocks on 'n' everything:frown:
