My first passenger

[Cock Womble 7]

David, my ex-wife's little 'un. He's 9 years old and mad about Top Gear and cars and trains. He had asked his Mum if "Uncle" Barry might take him out in his new car when he comes to visit. I obliged, obviously - even let him push the starter button.

"How fast are we going now?"
"30, because that's the speed limit here."
"Oh, right."
"But you see that white sign ahead with the black line through it?"
"Yes."
"Well, that means we can go as fast as we like. Ready?"
"Yes."
"Three, two, one..."

He went all quiet after that

And how fast did you want to drive then? 40mph?

Kids always love the Caterham.

[Yellow 7]

I remember similar - are we going as fast as we are allowed to?

Yes, and now yes and well... er... yes still:-)

I even found a baby seat that fitted in our 7 for when our daughter was 4 or so... she's 16 now and still loves going out in the Caterham.

I spotted this earlier and thought it was the world's cutest picture - have just gone to show the girlfriend and now it's gone...

edit: seems to be a thumbsnap server failure.
