I see your car, and raise you my *still* work in progress.
In theory, it'd only take £500 and a few hours to finish it, but the garage is now a kitchen

That was a caterham, they're *meant* to be easy enough for a fat middle class bloke to build them.

Berk,
Is that a small, dead child you have strapped to the front nearside?
*gets a bit worried*
A friend had a Caterham R500SL, the most insane car I have ever set foot in - 0-60 in 3.4s after he had it tuned up.
BRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!

In the harsh world of reality, Caterhams and their ilk take about 3 months to build properly, so as to not fall apart again straight away.
I've mended fast builds before that have taken 'just a week' to build and another 6-8 weeks of strip and rebuild to rectify.
Wiring? Don't get me started on wiring *stifles rage*
aaaand relax.

Vowles, you need to take it out of the showroom first. This will involve parting with money that could have been spent on beer.
You DO realise that, don't you?

Odd, looks the same, asside a few minor details. Guess it's the extra few letters at the end.
CBR125 though.

The whole CBR 125 range hasnt really changed since it was first brought out(2004). I think my version has a few extra bhp and liquid cooled not air.
