Another Newbie (Lanarkshire) - Few pics of current Jalopy

One more thought for you if you want something extreme (as per Shug's first post). Caterham. COULD be used every day - but I wouldn't want to - I'm too much of an old git.

I have a 1/4 share in one and access to an S2 Exige as well as the 111R, so if you want a look you would be very welcome........

I've not yet driven the Cat and the 111R back to back, having only bought the 111R a few weeks ago, but my guess is the Cat is a tad more of a drivers car. The Cat makes an incredible noise, but I need to take a break from driving it every hour or so to let my hearing recover! The pedal set up isn't as nice as the 111R though and no doubt you could do big miles in an Elise/Exige

Beauty of the Cat is they just don't depreciate (well much). We have an '02 SV (wide body, track) with the Rover 1.8 VVC engine (155bhp I remember) which has cost circa £22k and is worth £16k now. 25% in 6 years

PS. I worked for Weir Pumps (or as some of the white coats said 'Weird Pimps') many many years ago as an undergrad engineer. One session in the engineering office, another in the drawing office

YEah a would love a little look. Thing is when I see and exige and when I am in them I just get this sense of excitement like I want one and just got a feeling for them. As much as I like the look of the caterham and they go so well they dont do it as much for me as the exige. I think my heart is totally set of getting the exige now that someone would need to chop my legs off to stop me getting one!

If you want a look at the cars, possibly one night this week, or Saturday? Cars are through East, just off the Edi City Bypass

Keep an eye on the meets section and pop up to Dukes Pass to see what an exige is like on the road!

Ego's only work on the newer folk - Does't work for old hand like me who remember Kenny being slower than a slow thing stuck in thick treacle at -100 dge c.

Dont think I was ever slow, certainly faster now than when I first got the car. Slower yes, but not Meatball levels of slow.

Everything is relative to the driver's point of view I suppose
