New Toy

[Sidecar Man]

Thought I'd say hello on this bit of the forum. Pick up the New toy on Tuesday. Can't wait always had bikes and also have a V60 Polestar. But wanted a Caterham forever. A friend sorted it for me and it was to good s deal to miss. Be prepared for some daft questions. 👍

Welcome! Can you share some specs and how you hope to be using it? Trackdays or B-Road blatts?

Hi car is 2012
It’s a 135bhp Roadsport
5 speed type 9 gearbox
BMW LSD
Light weight flywheel
Uprated master cylinder
Wide track
Road springs and dampers
Quick rack 22%
2x 4point harnesses
2x tillet seats.
Quick release momo wheel.
Master switch
Track day roll bar.
I'll mainly be using it for B road playing with my lad and maybe the odd track day. I do a lot of bike trackdays and currently race Sidecars at BSB and IOM. I'm in Leicester so looking for meets.

Congrats.

I remember when I first got the bug leafing through a Caterham brochure, practically wearing the pages out. It was a Seven the same colourway as yours that really gripped me. A side on picture of the car just coming into shot.

Spent weeks travelling back and forth to Caterham's showroom on the hill from SW London. A couple of test drives and trying to squeeze myself into various cars. Happy memories

Enjoy it!

Have a look on the Lotus 7 Club website, there used to be a monthly meet in Loughborough, not sure if it's still happening since Covid though.
