Ideal spec., would be 'much' faster than your Elise.
I would buy one if I had:
a) a garage
b) a towcar

Gareth, i was working Edin today and nipped by MMC to have a squint in the window. Your S1 is in the showroon lookin well clean. Doesn't quite look right without the stripes tho :wink: . And £13k!!!!!! :shock: Thats a bit steep.

Seen the mint red S1 that's never been used and been kept in a heated garage all its days. Looks unbeleivably clean, totaly perfect example. I'm not sure my car looked that clean even straight from the factory :lol:

That one's been in & out of Caterham Car's showroom a few times now :roll:

This is the same spec as thinfourth's to give an indication of lap times :wink:

The driver's seat is one of those foam jobs (just visible in the pic)

HTH :D


PS Ali - no need for a trailer 8) :lol:

Only thing I'll say G, is that if the S1 was a bit rough and ready for you, then forget a Cat. Plus if you keep your aversion to trackwork on anything but a perfect day, you won't get much use out of it...

Thinfourth is no indication of laptimes...(donut miester). ;)

Maybe don't need a trailer but I think I'd need something else for the everyday commute. Also helps for the extra tyres... ;)

I resent that remark about laptimes

i know i can go round and round in circles faster then most people

And if gareth is looking for a winter car while he owns a S2 then he is nowhere near enough loony enough to own a 7
