I thought only fancy FlyBoys drove cars like that.....oh wait... lol.

Did you really buy it mate? It looks a wee ripper, somewhat better than your last one eh? ;) What colour are you going to paint it or is it going to stay au natural?

Take care buddy,

Rusty.

Enjoy the summer, eh.

However, a WHITE Christmas is what it's all about. :)

Oh, and nice car and all, but what's wrong with that wheel being on the right side, mate? :)

Yes rusty I did buy it :) yeah it is better than my last car thats for sure

Going to leave the Aluminium Panels the as they are - not sure if the bonnet would look better in black or how it is (grey)

I'll bring it down to show you - and prove ownership, maybe even take you for a ride

and yes it is really light around the 650-750kg range

You're just jealous because we live in the land where four wheel drifts are a four month long phenomenon. :p

Nice wheels. Shame about the engine, though. Fortunately there's a cure for that...

It's the Cosworth version of Ford's 2.3L Duratec engine. Caterham puts a 260hp version in their 7.
