As if to counterpoint the piece I've just written today, it began to rain hard again this morning, allowing me to experience one of the Caterham’s long list of small joys when arriving at the work – the little fizz you get when raindrops land on the hot outlet and instantly evaporate. It’s a quite frankly wonderful noise.
Of course the moral here is that I should have paid more attention. That side exhaust is one of the great pleasures of the 310 S, both aesthetically and aurally, and it’s not jumped recently to move into my way. So I had better admit right here that I’m a clot and we can all move on.
Still want to spend all my time driving it by the way.
