March 23 MOT day todayhopefully this will be a doddle, I have checked the car over and hopefully it should pass with no problems, but you never know. It as at 1:30 so will update when I get back. The car has been off the road since the MOT ran out last September and it has taken me ages, getting it MOT ready and getting the upgrades on.. Update - car passed, took a few goes with the emissions but we got there, however it did dump some coolant out of the expansion tank i think, so it looks like that is the first job to rebleed but at least I should be ok for another year :) thanks To Geoff at Wingfield Engineering in Winnersh - 01189 781519 rob Technorati tags: MOT January 26 Nitron on the recommended supplier list...I have added Nitron tot he recommended supplier list, not because of there product (not actually go them yet) but because of there extremely helpfulness and responsiveness during my dealings with them e.g. 1. my initial enquiries about what i wanted/needed where excellent and very insightful 2. I got a call a few days after ordering , asking where on the de-dion tube I would be mounting the shocks, which shows to me an appreciation of the speciifcs of a caterham and that at least they where aware of it. 3. When they rang me this week up to tell me about the Eibachs not being available, couteous and apologetic but not over the top, just a simple conversation that resulted in me going for the standard ones :) Will they stay there when I get the product, I have no reason to think otherwise :) Rob

rob March 30 the shiniest 7 in the world For SaleThis is a truly special caterham, for sale on ebay! all I can say is wow!
March 06 I'm going too fast to 'pull a younger woman'....Well I was just playing around with the MSN Spaces Search and entered 'caterham' I seemed to be in a lot of the top search results but then i cam acoss this post by Dimitripesin
in it he states
"Watching a middle-aged man trying to pull a younger woman in a Caterham is like having to watch your dad ‘do the boogie’ at the school disco"
Well all I can say in my (and the caterham owning populace) defence is that
a. i am going to fast to consider even attempting to 'pull a younger woman' , thats very much of course dependent on me getting the car finsihed (current speed Zero MPH)
b. even if I did manage to pull, I am not sure what i would do with her her
c. i am a happily married man so not out looking to pull (just in case the missus is reading)
d. not quite middle aged just yet
e. being aero'd up i tend to wear a helmet with a dark visor, so trying to pul would be er somewhat difficult
But will I embaras my Son by doing the boogie at the school disco i certainly hope so :), thats the job of parents right, to embarass there children?
However I have witness many older (middle aged?) men tryign and failing to impress the fairer sex in there 7's
