Advantages: Fast, Fun. No roof, doors, impact bags, aircon etc!
Disadvantages: it depends on your point of view.
Having loved Westfield’s for years I moved over to the dark side … Caterham. The ethos of Caterham was once explained to me in great detail over a few pints at my local and duly I paid more attention to them now. So much so that every year I religiously go to the stand at the motor shows to pay homage to the cat I will eventually own. This year I was talking to the very helpful people on the stand about insurance and the cost of ownership, I made it very clear that I would not be buying such a car for at least 3 years as I was not old enough to qualify for the insurance. This did not deter the people from trying to get me to buy a car. In fact they would have signed be up for one to be delivered the day I turned 26 and could have the insurance. I made it even more clearer that I cant buy one now as I’m not in a financial position to do so as well. Still they suggested track days and test-drives just to convince me that little bit further that I wanted one. In the end I got through to this one guy on the stand that I would be having one just as soon as I could, I always have wanted one and I think they are great. He accepted this and it seemed that two people passionate about the same car had come to an understanding, at which point he asked, “Are you going to build it yourself? I could save you a couple of grand!” Needless to say the conversation continued.
