Commuting in a Caterham begins with compromises, but every one of them is rewarded each time you set foot inside. You’ve freed yourself of all unnecessary items so now your life is actually a little easier at each end of the journey, and suddenly the drudge of getting yourself out of the house to set off for the office is not a chore, but the beginning of an adventure.
Soon you find yourself taking the slightly longer route – because it’s a bit more fun, and let's be honest, what's 10 minutes extra between friends? You find yourself learning the road like you’re reading braille, each bump becoming familiar, each drive-in becomes a free practice session, gradually finessing each line, each corner until you’re basically Heikki Kovalainen.
Progress is easy too. Stuck in traffic? No problem, you’re basically in a four-wheeled motorbike. Sure you can’t filter through like you could on two wheels, but out here in the countryside each car can be dispatched safely at the twitch of the foot.
Bye bye traffic depression, ta ta crossovers, hello open road!
