sorry, I can’t help it, but I just had a mental image of the look on your faces as you and your wife find those tiny ducks for months, if not years to come.
I know how sneaky kids… and mothers can be

Caterham 7… and yes it’s a disgrace to treat her like that.
I was a Caterham enthusiast back in 2006- had a dealership of those beasts literally 200 meters from my apartment and I had to pass in front of it to go to work.
I had a sporty Alfa 147 back then- but the burning need for a “Super 7” never went away.
My passion might or might not been have made worse by an anime called eX-Driver

Yep that’s a Caterham, a very popular beginners racing class that is relatively affordable with cars that still have some spice and can teach you a lot about driving. Quite popular in racing sims as well!
Damn shame, I wonder what the story is behind such a passion project left behind.

As others said - Caterham.
‘Replicas’ were also very popular here as a ‘kit car’.
An Australian car maker called Elfin also produced something that looked almost identical, but had a 5 litre V8…
