    A pleasure to watch your videos as always Sam. I think there’s a strong argument for you being the most polished of all car CZcamsrs

      Top 3 for me, potentially (If i was pushed) joint first. Can't really dis-agree with you though.

    @yordyiam Před 6 lety +33

    The Caterham is definitely one of the cars we should all try once. Have to agree, would not want to drive it daily though. One of the funnier STG videos I think. Good work, Sam.

    My dad has the Caterham Superlight R300 version. Fantastic car. Very fast. 2 litre Ford engine again but not supercharged. Only 175BHP but trust me... that’s plenty. 4.5 second 0-60 time too. Glad you reviewed this Sam. Top content also.

    Great video Sam. As you've identified traffic soon puts a dampener on things. You should head west and do Wales for a day or head north and do a quick NC500 route - surely there's no one up there at the moment?

    That thing is a beast. Hopefully you get to enjoy it in some sunny weather and twisty roads. Whether its an actual old Lotus 7, a Caterham 7, or any of the multitude of homages (or clones depending on the POV). Love them all.

  • @jamesgraham6122
    @jamesgraham6122 Před 2 měsíci

    Great to see that the concept of raw power and gritty feed-back handling continues the original Lotus legacy. My 1960s Lotus 7 club competition car had to be used as my daily driver.. absolutely insane with lightened flywheel, competition clutch and other go fast goodies.. Not big on the top end but my god, did it get me there fast, and handling.. made me feel like a serious driver. :>) Somehow back in the 60s/70s I could afford to compete at club level yet not today.. something must have changed.. or is it that today I know I couldn't afford to shunt it.. mmm

  • @RobManser77
    @RobManser77 Před rokem

    3:20 A tiny thing, but one of the great things about driving a Caterham. Auto-cancelling indicators in cars has always annoyed me, and with modern cars that have soft on/off indicators it's got even worse. I have to re-indicate about 3 times on some junctions that I take each day. With a 7, if you want to indicate, you switch them on and they will not switch off again until you finish the manoeuvre and do it yourself - genius!

  • @mottss13579

    • @chocolatetelevision
      @chocolatetelevision Před 6 lety +1

      No, no, no. The MGTF is NOTHING like this. Or, more to the point, the Caterham is nothing like the MGTF.

  • @paulreip8073
    @paulreip8073 Před 6 lety +1

    I have a 125 Roadsport - and you can still scare yourself - best thing is that I have a Vantage as well and very early on a Sunday morning (any later than 7.30 and there is too much sweaty Lycra out and pedalling in large groups of middle aged angst) in narrow Kent lanes the Caterham is the more enjoyable car as its just so narrow and chuckable. And you can get them for £10k or less (only get the Ford engine - at least you know it will start and be reliable). However you are absolutely correct, its not a car for doing much else - I know people who drive to Switzerland for the weekend - stupid idea.
