I did it!!!


After much hesitation, forum reviews, discussions with wife, and after having played with all the combinations of Caterham cars one could order... I ordered my own.

I will be the proud owner of a Caterhal Seven 420S on the 17/10... or rather the owner of the kit! I always dreamt of building my own car and this is the one.

Here are the specs:
   -Caterham Seven 420S
   -Wide body S5 chassis - am too tall and too large for S3...
   -S Pack
   -5-Speed gearbox
   -Limited slip differential
   -Dry Sump oil system
   -Sport suspension
   -Green, with yellow nosecone...

and for the curious:
   -2L FORD engine, 210bhp
   -560kg
   -0-60mph: 3.8 seconds

Here is what this beauty will look like after 150+h of work... probably much more considering how inexperienced I am as a mechanic.



But to start with it will be in this form:



Wish me luck guys & girls !!!
