Actually you are quite right about speed and fun, they are not the same thing at all. I had an M3 convertible back in 2002, and even with the hood down, I had to be doing 100 or more to feel the sensation of speed - a very dangerous state of affairs. In my various Caterhams, the fun is in the acceleration and the cornering ability to enjoy them, and in the Three Wheeler, the fun is just the whole car and the way it does things, which doesn't mean that it should do things badly, which it used to, but not now - allegedly?
I have got my Three Wheeler advertised, but I'm not trying too hard to sell it, if it sells then good, if not, then fine, I'll continue to enjoy it. No-one should ever get into the situation of being desperate to sell, a bit like leaving the table before you are full, [something I can never seem to do!] I'm also strangely tempted by the low mileage Roadster 4 seater at Berrybrook, but it will have to come down in price a mite first.
The 'Sport Caramel' came about when I was accosted by an old lady who was enthusing over the car and saying that when she was a young 'gal' she went out with a man who had one in exactly the same shade of Caramel, and I rather liked it, it is far more descriptive of the colour than 'sand' ugh! Oh, and on reflection, I thought hearing aid beige, whilst true, was a little dismissive of everyone who has to wear a hearing aid, which will probably be me soon, at this rate, my wife has been telling me for years that I'm deaf whenever she is talking to me! A line which I am sure all married men are familiar with?
Tim just read your post, maybe you have a duff car, I normally have trouble keeping the cruising revs at 3500, and even at 4000 it is not complaining, one reason that my wife doesn't passenger me too much I fancy!
