fist ride out in the new 7

just done my first small blat in the 7, and i must say that although its not overly quick, its handling is astonishing it really is like a go-cart!
very very small, i can just fit into it. and front arches are a bit battered as is the turn out tail pipe but at this age and price range to be expected.
stack dash superb and weasy to decipher, steering is fairly heavy but unbelievably direct, way way more responsive than anything i have ever driven.brakes also superb. cant wait for more blatting around and a few drives out with the lcb gang!
carbon front and rear arches ordered as first mod! then who knows?

is that it in the pic?

White is just a blank canvas for some choice stickers!!!







Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Best of the bunch, really.

Caterhams always look ace next to everything else in the paddock.

I love them, but do see the space now for a modern day equivalent.
Just as diminutive, but now mid engined I think.

Just re read my post and it could be received as a bit narky, not meant like that at all Dan. Sticker comment was ment as a joke. The wonders of text with no punctuation!

Happy driving.
