Stig got a fun car to test, Caterham R500 superlight, 0-60 in 2.8, 260hp, 1115 lbs, it looks like a hoot to drive....

May I test drive your avatar?

MTosi

If you return the favor and allow me to test drive yours .

I used to have a little yellow Caterham like that, right hand drive & all. Fun little car & a hoot at the track!

Watched that episode last night. He really did look to be having a ball sliding that thing around the track. And the time it put down.... impressive.

Don't know that I could afford the superlite, but Caterhams are very cool and I would love to own one.

When I was in the UK my wife bought me one for my 30th Bday. Was a lot of fun although being so low on the street was a little un nearving at times when trucks went past

There is a local instructor who has that Caterham with the motorsports motor. He runs it with slicks, it is evil!

I know there have been various rumors but has the id of the Stig ever been revealed?

It's Seth Thomas.

I know, it tended to freak out passengers being eye level with those axle mileage counters big trucks use especially when you are going down the highway @ 70 mph. Hitting a bump or washboard in a car that weighs a thousand pounds or so @ speed can REALLY be entertaining especially when it starts skipping along the top of the road like a stone headed for the previously mentioned semi

The first Stig died (launched off the end of a British aircraft carrier), he was revealed posthumously IIRC.

But Jay, being that low, couldn't you go right underneath the semi's trailer and come out the other side?

JW in Texas

Yep & I had NO desire to perform my own version of "Christmas Vacation"

I almost used that as an analogy,

One of the best movies for the Holidays, ever. By the way it was quite "nippley" this morning 7 below here in the mountains, after being in the high 40s Sunday.
