Caterham Super 7- What do Steve Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, country singer Alan Jackson and Riverdance's Michael Flatley have in common?
They all own Caterhams.

For $8000.00 you could have one, too.

For all intents and purposes a Lotus 7, the Caterham is sold in the UK as a complete car. Here in the US it needs to be sold as a kit. (Which is how may of the original Lotus 7 cars were sold anyway).

This car has a Toyota 4A-G engine in it. Most likely it's the 16 valve version. It's a good engine that it perfect for a car like this. The fuel injection is gone, replace by a pair of Dell'Ortos.

There has to be some sort of official "fun for the dollar" quotient out there, but I don't know what it is. I do know that this car would rank very high on the list.

1987 Lincoln Town Car Cartier Edition

"Diamond in the back, sunroof top, diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean." - William DeVaughn

I saw this car and that song popped into my head, where I'm pretty certain it will stay all day.

Look at this thing... It takes up the whole driveway. You could have the front bumper in one garage and the rear in the one across from it.

This is not a car I would ever want to own or drive, but it's amusing to look at.

Nissan 300ZX Convertible - This is most likely a Straman Convertible. Richard Stramen has made some pretty interesting convertibles over the years. He's worked on everything from Ferraris to Honda CRXs.

This is a terrible ad with just 2 pictures and very little text (the year of the car isn't even included), but it's an interesting car.
