I got a spare Matchbox Caterham in red like the one Pine posted here, I can put it in the toybox if you want it, would be a nice addition to your real car.
There used to be a member of the Porsche club that owned and sometimes raced a Donkervoort, it is a mutant, super 7. Boy was that thing fast, had an Audi 1.8 or 2.0 liter turbo engine, but he opened a big can of whoop ass when he went on the track with that thing. I just loved it, super light, fast and beautiful. He said that it costed him more than his GT3 at the time.

Don't argue with an idiot, people watching may not be able to tell the difference

Re: It Arrived
Can believe it. when you have a car that weighs in at 630kg WITH driver then amazing things happen. Some of the Class A cars here also have a hefty price tag behind the engineering. silly money but they also go silly speeds and have inboard suspensions like Formula cars. If aero mods were allowed then they would would be scarey fast...
I'm busy drawing up a design for a new rear suspension for my car. I had an idea, modeled it and then found out i had made a Watts suspension, so that was a nice surprise, at least i know it works. Though further research revealed that a mumford setup may be better.
cool, thanks, much appreciated

Re: It Arrived
I got the same cars like 2 years ago i think! But the boxes are different. AND they were like R25 each. well actually i think my mother found the one and my girlfriend found the other. For the TLR racers breakfast run last year, they took one of these cars and made a mould and made plaster casts from it and used them as weights for ballons and what not. Its a pity you in the cape and not up here, the Lotus Register is rather fun to be part of...
