I grew up in Caterham so I was able to pop into the old workshop (before they moved to the swanky garage in the valley). Used to spend weekends grass track racing or hillclimbing all sorts of little cars with my dad and his mates. The health and safety was mental, adults drinking all day and kids driving the cars at lunchtime. I pranged one or two fairly decent ones driving between the courses sat on my dads knee.
Once I discovered m/bikes I didn't look back. Can't see any point in carting around a giant metal shell if what you want to do is propel yourself at the scenery.

Cars and motorbikes are very different. I still remember being sat on a 400/4 fuel tank and told to hold on the the handlebar and taken up and down the road. No helmet, no nothing...now that is the fastest I have ever felt in my life.
Lotus 7 copy is the definition of that, or MK1 MR2, fiat x1/9 etc.
