Good car. Here's a video of a slightly updated model chasing a GT2 round the Nurburgring: Caterham R500 Vs 996 GT2 - Nurburgring battle lap2 - YouTube

You know you have room for it

Caterham is not a want. It is a basic necessity.

They had a whole bunch of those things at a get together in my town. Man, I want one of those. Too bad I live over a mile from the nearest paved road. I would have to trailer it from the house to the end of the dirt road anytime I wanted to take it out.
