Dave Waggott and Ben Kay ...

Thanks again for such an excellent day today.  We had a great time on the fantastic roads, and we both couldn't think of a car we would rather drive them in than a Caterham.  It is an excellent car, loads of fun on real roads at (mostly) legal speeds.

The roads that we particularly enjoyed today were:

  • Buttertubs Pass (Hawes - Thwaite, Yorkshire Dales.  Crazy road clinging to side of a steep hill/mountain with huge drops, but great rollercoaster sections with fast bends and hairpins.  Slightly better in the south to north direction.)
  • B6278 Eggleston - Stanhope (Empty, well sighted, loads of bends, great scenery.  This whole area looks ripe for exploring for great roads, particularly since it seems pretty quiet)
  • A686 Hayden Bridge - Penrith (This has to be driven to be believed. It is just bend after glorious bend.  Fast, slow, hairpins, esses... Goes up really high, too - we were driving through a dark cloud, which added to the drama.)

Your business is friendly, thorough and fair.  I would not hesitate to recommend you, and wish you all the best in building the business up.

 

 

 

New record reached...
