Howdy y'all

Having grown up with a Lotus/Caterham Super Seven, I can't imagine many things being better. It has all the handling (in a very polite way) you could want, the acceleration to beat all comers, yet isn't fast enough to get you into serious trouble with the man. They might not like the way you're grinning, though.

Do any of the pilotes/principals/mechs own a sleeper such as this?

D-rock

The paid drivers (not paydrivers) are given cars by the teams to drive. I don't think they would have much interest themselves to drive around in a sports car on a public road. Think about it, what beats the trill of driving an F1 on a racetrack.

I talked to a supertouring car driver in Sweden a few years ago and his personal car was a Skoda diesel pickup which he did not mind driving at all for the above reason. He was later given an Audi A4 to drive around in since he competed for the Audi team.

On the other hand, didn't jenson button nearly lose his drivers lisence in France for getting caught driving WAY to fast...I think he was in a diesel or something...

I know some of the ChampCar drivers have been busted quite a few times outside las vegas for taking thier sportscars out and running them WAY fast...my buddy is a DA in Vegas.

Mr.Neway of Mclaren has or had a heavily modified Lotus Elise surely a
better option to that impossible seven ...

I think that was Montoya, and he actually did lose his drivers licence in France for two months, but since he's travelling all over the world, that wasn't any problem for him

hehe! ralf in a BMW 7, I find that no car for him

Hi, my first post.

Jarno Trulli drives a Fiat 500! The same did/do Jean Alesi. I know Michael Schumacher also own a Fiat 500.

Does David Coulthardt drive at all, vhen he is not on a track?

I heard Ferrari gave M Schumacher a 550 barchetta, a maserati gt, and a $6 million (approx) worth of F2002 (and spare parts) as a bonus of his dominating performance in 2002. M schumacher owned a customized 550 maranello which would have been replaced by a 272 for sure by now. They also gave him a discount on a yellow enzo...

Apparently Coulthard hates driving so he drives an automatic renault laguna in montecarlo. But occasionally he does drive an SLR.
