I first got in a 7 in about 1994, my mate still has the same car. My first drive was, of course, the same day. Over the next few years i would enjoy the occasional visit and ride, oh how i wanted one, but you can't go kayaking, mtb ing, climbing in one, and i didn't have a garage and of course i didn't have any money. Yes of course that was the main reason.

In about 2000 another mate bought one and we would go climbing in it. How i love watching the front wheels bounce up and down. How i can't imagine being in a crash in one.

3 years ago i bought a house with a garage, now that's a start.

Next year i can access some long term savings.....

and so i am going to buy a Caterham Seven. This is my 6 months of making some decisions.
