Funny, but thats not my actual plate, they had to put an F1 plate on my car for the photo shoot.

Although you might think my original plate is rubbish too!!

Same here, I jumped for joy when I thought there was going to be a thread about a Sierra Cosworth!

Indeed I am!

Here is a YouTube video of me and Tom in my F1 R500 from this article.

This is using my new VIoPov camera setup, but I put the mic on the passenger footwell floor, hence the poor audio quality.

Will fix that for our next outings!

Thanks very much.

Photos don't really do it justice , the green is stunning in sunlight.

It's so very different from the standard green normally used on Caterhsms with a yellow stripe.

Where you driving your car in the shoot Nigel? If so, I bet thet was a great day out!
Did you get to drive the SP/300.R or the F1 car?
If they'd wanted my car for a photo shoot, I'd have made a deal.

Hey Mick,

Sadly no, my car was with the F1 team in Jerez, whilst I was in Karlstad Sweden for the WRC Rally.

I did do a deal though, so will be keeping that one in the bank for something special in the future!

[mickrick]

Oooh! WRC in Sweden! I bet that was brill!
And you have something in the bank with CC! Lucky Booger!
I'm not ever so slightly green........

Nice looking 7 and in good company, wonders how much a plate like that costs.

Great pics.

Hey Mick,

Yep WRC Sweden is always a real hoot, and to be honest it does not cost much more than going to the now poor Rally GB in Wales!!

And of course temperatures down to -30 and lots of snow and ice, and rally cars sideways on studs!! What could be better???

I will keep my next fun trip out with Caterham a secret, so that when I get the pictures, I can post them on here!!

Nige.

Thanks for that, however the R500 F1 plate is not mine, Caterham Cars put that one on to my R500 just for the photo and video session.

I am sure that plate was not that cheap though!!
