paul jacobs Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 If only it had been a Caterham, at that price I'd bitten you arm off for it - even with the swept wings. Best of luck, it sounds like a really nice car.......for a W*******d of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coose Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 If it were a Caterham it'd be twice the price for no better a car! wink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikehiggins Posted March 15, 2002 Author Share Posted March 15, 2002 Fat Arn. As a 22 year old sick children's nurse im only just starting out in the world. I would very much like to 'belong' but on my salary it aint ever gonna happen!! I mean im having to sell my pride and joy just so I have somewhere to live. Most 'children' of my age are driving clapped out SRI's covered in "On a mission" stickers. Give me a little credit please, at least i have some style/class. Thank you all for the kind words/info/advice despite my being a stranger!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casbar Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 Mike, good luck selling your car. Be assured that not all Cat owners are pratt's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdg Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 Well said Casbar. This is a site for Lotus/Caterham enthusiasts, whether they be owners or not. It is not the personal website of a few sad individuals for whom owning a Caterham and constantly having to have the latest ,biggest , bestest(!) and most expensive gizmo is their "raison d'etre". (And then they have to brag about it to us lesser mortals). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikehiggins Posted March 15, 2002 Author Share Posted March 15, 2002 Its a single slot but as its mounted under the dash out of sight and therefore out of mind (oh alright it was the only space available), it is remote control operated, mounted just next to the hand brake. Lets face it as its under the dash you cannot see what your fiddling with anyway so a remote is quite convenient (scuse the spelling!!)

chris k collett Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 I`am lucky enough to own a caterham and all i`am really interested in making it go a bit better, so am i on the wrong site or should the westy boys be somewhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Barbie Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 I happen to know that Fat Arn's "salary" and I'm actually rather jealous, his job certainly doesn't involve using the phrase "do you want fries with that" on a regualr basis and yearning for the covetted third star (operating the salt shaker unaided)as might be expected of some other persons who have posted on this forum. Personally of course, I happen to earn huge amounts of money, drive a real seven and aspire to blatant boasts amount the expensive bits on my car and what I'm buying next - probably an SR3 for the school run eh Richard ? wink.gif It is true that not all Cat owners are pratts, could you say the same of westf1eld owners ?? smile.gif Edited by - count on 15 Mar 2002 22:21:43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypoid 90 Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 now now girls show your age , i know quite a few caterham and w*******d owners i have had several w*******ds myself , at the moment i have a caterham but hey i suppose you will start slagging me off now , i thought we all batted for the same side but it seems there are a small minority who spoil it for others, and cause unesercery friction . grow up .

hypoid 90 Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 just thought i would point this out, i have competed in the w*******d speed series for the last two years and done very well, this year i will still be competing in the speed series only in my caterham , why , because every body who competes in the speed series gets on with each other ,they dont mind me competing in a caterham , i just cant see that in the lotus 7 club , i wonder why Steve Davies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikehiggins Posted March 15, 2002 Author Share Posted March 15, 2002 Count (is that rhyming slang), firstly i have chosen to use this site on a caterham owners recomendation. Secondly i simply want to sell my car, thirdly if you are implying that (because of my age) my career involves the sale of fast foods, you are sorely mistaken. I have two honours degrees and a Masters in Health care and nursing,you should therefore be careful who you absent mindedly choose to insult, as one day when you crash your expensive car into the lorry you didnt see coming round the blind bend, you may well end up in my A&E. At which time i imagine you will be grateful for my time spent working in McDonalds whilst funding myself through Uni. Sorry, i forgot you probably have private health insurance as you earn loads more than the rest of us. Dont forget though you will still come via my A&E first. P.S. Does any one want to buy my car??

paul jacobs Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 Mike, don't take it all too seriously, it's only a gentle bit of leg pulling. I'd expect no less if I tried selling my 21 on the W*******d or Elise BB sites - hmm, now, there's an idea. Anyone interested in buying possibly the fastest 21 on sale right now? One careful owner, only 10,000 miles, never raced or rallied, oh no sorry, can't put that, but it does eat Elsies for breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
