lucky dawg

I hope purple with gold is okay?

Great tour of the updates. Can't wait to hear how it drives.

My 2021 mid-engined C8 Corvette w/ Z51 option. A very different way to achieve much of what my CSR can do. Biggest downside: now harder to convince wife to go for drives in our Caterham.

Checking with the company that currently insures your home, cars, and whatever other policies you have is a good start. They may be willing to work with you based on your history and the desire to not risk losing you as a customer.

Congratulations, I look forward to seeing you on the road when the sun comes out.

Can't wait to see it on the local roads.

Well, since it resembles a massive Gatorade spill, something related to that would be appropriate.

I spent the majority of my career in the Special Investigative Unit (mainly fraud and arson cases) with a large personal lines insurance company. Decent pay, benefits and hours. Very interesting work that I truly enjoyed. For extra variety I did more than the basics, such as getting involved in professional organizations and becoming a guest instructor at the state Law Enforcement Academy. For me, adding to what I did was better than changing what I did. Also had enough fun things away from work to keep me happy.

Not mine (different roll bar and wrong#), but definitely a Washington Collector Vehicle plate. I don't recall seeing it around here. @BruceBe, familiar to you?

Whichever one you decide on, I highly recommend ditching the 40lb ramps that come with your lift and getting the 7lb Race Ramps Race Ramps

Mine was also tight, especially height. Rerouting the garage door rails made it all work.

I've had a Revolution (home version of Rotary) four post for five years. Been very pleased with it.

Paint is relatively cheap, while the clear coat needed to protect carbon fibre from UV caused damage is obscenely expensive. For example the standard removable roof on the C8 Corvette is CF painted body color. To have it exposed is a $2500 option. Similar story for the mirrors. CF Clear Coat Cost

I totally understand. Bruce still gets excited thinking about the 3rd brake light he designed for me almost 10 years ago. In fairness, it is very nice.

For the record, regardless of what you look at, just going to car shows makes you less of a weirdo. Slightly.

Driver visibility seems somewhat limited.

Thanks. We ordered it November of 2011 and the crates arrived at Beachman Racing mid-August of 2012. The paint is deep amethyst with champagne pearl stripes. Both 2000 Chrysler colors.

The radiator vent is standard on the CSR. Also small winglets on the lower front and redesigned front wings. All are supposed to increase down force. Not great but better than not having it.

I love everything about my CSR, but have no seat time in an S3 to make a valid comparison. It s surprisingly comfortable on the road and much more capable on the track than I will ever be. It has the Caterham close ratio 6speed, so no overdrive. While the aero may be "improved" that is a pretty low bar. Still very noticeable front end lift at high speeds and about 130 you really begin to question your life choices.

Definitely not real wood. Someone had a vision. Probably substance related, but still, a vision.

Don't forget the mahogany fender.

Sounds good to me.

Sounds like an excellent idea.

Apparently, local Caterham is now becoming more common everyday. Congrats anyhow.

I also have the Caterham 6speed in my CSR.
