BMW RACER Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/caterham-roadsport-125-monaco-revealed?ref=nf I think it's better than the Lambretta (although I love the Quadraphenia video) I like the aluminum (of course) No spare, are they using runflats? It's parked with the right front wheel against a wall. Are they saving weight (cost) on the handbrake too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiBirkin Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Not too fussed on that inception of the seven I prefer the Lambretta version. You dont need a spare on a seven all you need is a can of tyre weld so you then save about 15kg in weight, I havnt run a spare on the rear for about 10000 miles now.

slomove Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 No spare either for over 30k miles. But I did have a flat (actually lost pressure due to underinflation) a few years ago and the car rolled fine without, if a bit slow. Just too light to squish a normal car tire.
