Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?

Are you going to be one of those loud jerks with a noisy car driving up and down the street? If so, boo, I say, boo.

Morgan of some ilk?

Caterham FTW!!! Love that car!

Ah, Caterham, Super 7.

I dig... Tiny little car with a v8 I assume based on the headers. Would be a fun cruising car no doubt.

V8? Crazy Americans.:50:

Its a hot four that is so light that it will kick the butt of any v8 monstrosity.

The Caterham R500 is that fastest car around the Top Gear track for the price and only a really small number of hyper cars can beat it on a track.

Yea I just looked it up, most of them are motorcycle engines. Strange that it has 4 headers coming out just the one side though. Apparently there is a version, made by an outside company I believe, that is two motorcycle engines joined at the crank to make a 2 liter v8.

I'd still like a big heavy v8. They're getting lighter and squeezing more power out of them all the time, and you just cannot replicate the v8 sound and feel with a 4 banger.

My wife recently said that if she could have 4 strollers, she couldn't have a problem with me having 4 bikes. :love:

Funnest car I ever drove as a Ferrari 308 GTSi Quattrovalvole. That small displacement high revving V-8 was so fun to romp on.

Kid in the black owned it, I am in the Jamz. We did some really really really stupid stuff in that car. Really.

Actually that is the GTBi. His girl friend at the time had a minor fender bender in that car and Bob Norwood traded him for a GTSi as he wanted the hard topped Berlinetta for a salt flat car he was building.

I drove a zr1 vette it will blow ya mind

The Super 7 by Lotus used a 4 cylinder engine, from 1.2-1.7 liters. They were sold as kits too and used whatever engine you could find. I have never seen one with a motorcycle engine.

Would that be Northern? Or, Western? Either is fine. Just need to know who to size up as the competition that she needs to defend against.

:thumb: Now the question is how do you go about making cycling metal? It seems like mission impossible.
