What do you think?


G you know my thoughts on this - either buy your way to the front, or drive your way there (although cash still plays a role in a fixed class)

Indeed.

The plan was to do a bit of both, there does seem to be a law of diminishing returns with Caterhams but it's not cheap to get to that point and there would always be that nagging doubt...

Not building one this year opens up quite a few other possibilities including:

- Uber estate
- An Elise to learn the tracks in without having to tow everywhere
- Go completely nuts with tuition
- Generally scratch some itches

Too many choices

You see, an off the shelf package shouldn't cost much to fettle............
