    A lovely wee Caterham 125 Sigma Roadsport from a hire company in York, we had it for two days blasting around the North Yorkshire Moors.

    And me being the path finder and carrying the bags in Betsey :D

    Nick did around 190 miles in the car and i managed 1.5........as she loved it so much and refused to get out, but it was her day.

    In the short time we had with the car it left a lasting impression and we all fell for the charms of a true motoring icon.

    Looks like you had a great time.

    Fun for the weekend but not a replacement for the scoob, especially one as nice as yours.

    Happy 39 Years and 365 days to Nick

    In a straight drag race.........wasted it!! But on give and take b-roads it was a bit more even.

    Braking could be left so late in the caterham :shock: Wouldn't like to come up against a Superlight or R300,R400 etc

    Felt like a proper race car Marc :lol: 8)

    I went to Oulton Park once on a track day - loads of fast cars like Audi R8's etc - the caterhams spanked anything on the track - round the bends and on the straights.

    I've been looking at hiring a car for the weekend for a while - did the company from York deliver the car to your doorstep?

    Does the company you use have a website?
