I have the feeling it wouldn't be much fun.

Obviously they won't let you loose with a Ferrari but you probably get 5 laps if your are lucky. You probably only start to get a feel for it at that stage.

He wiped the floor with me, even if he did keep looking over his shoulder to spew vile, racist and right wing invective at imaginary passengers.

Get a pro driver for an hour in the morning and then practice away all day. You'll be shagged out by lunchtime.

spark plugs etc..unless you have a brand new m3 its a f**king good way to f**k up the car you have in my experiecne and costs an arm and leg to fix it afterwards..plus not insured if you smack someone..track day with other cars much better imo

Last summer I did about 12 track days in my Seven and the total bill was one set of tyres.

the fact I was the fastest in it has nothing to do with that of course

It's for looning around on track days or blasting up country lanes on summer evening. It serves not one single practical purpose.

predictable handling makes for relatively low speed fun.

You will understand I am not a car person in the slightest.

I have no interest in driving them other than when I actually have to get from A to B.

Each to their own of course.

Yesterday, I folded down the backseats and got several broken up wardrobes in there with no great difficulty. For me, that's great car design. :nod:

It's probably dynamically superior to the Passat as well :hehe:

You would be a long time getting rid of your unwanted furniture in a Caterham Seven.

Quicker to just leave it at the end of your drive in case a passing family of Irish travellers are in the area doing odd jobs.

Going fast in cars just doesn't excite me at all. It feels uncomfortable.

I have been compiling a list of the exciting life experiences which leave you cold.

I can now formally announce that you are clinically dead.

Congratulations.

Sadly, I can't help but feel that life is too fleeting to spend doing no more than eating and ****ting.

And dozing. I do like a nice doze. I've started curling up on the day bed in the conservatory. Lovely and warm, it is.

Dashing about in cars and planes wouldn't make me happy, to be honest.
