.com or caterhamparts.co.uk? If former likely fake. If latter it should be real stuff.

Registered. Even bought registration insurance this time. Felt appropriate. Track day car insurance is still not something I've committed to. Maybe if the forecast looks rainy I'll consider adding it on. -

I didn't meant to ruffle some feathers. I meant the specific old trucks that I haven't even seen around. General muscle I've been around plenty as I'm sure plenty of others have

I don't think there are any options on this. I have to take it apart and mess with hardware. After the track day over the winter I'll be putting my OEM harness back in for street duties so it's not that big of a concern. Just very annoying to set properly to begin with and discover that it's an issue I didn't expect to have. -

Oh. Didn't know this was possible. Don't think I'll attempt it before a track day soon and risk messing it up but maybe for next year I'll swap it over. Thank you With that said, no yellow to be found. Small victory. -

Well TRS gamble on my new belts has lead to some disappointment. I expected 3in shoulders during order but got 2in. Was convinced that 2in is a better operation for Hans. Sure. Wish I was talked into 2in before ordering but whatever. Next the cam buckle for TRS is plastic on outer surface which just feels chinsy especially compared to the premium cost. But fine I can overlook this too. Last and worst part is that the cam buckle is locked to the crutch strap, so that means that even for street use I would need to use all 6 to have a lock at all (instead of just using 4 for street) and the only way to adjust the main buckle is by removing the seat if I have somebody of a different height try to drive the car. This is just stupid. I've had the seat in an out 3 times already trying to find the perfect length because there are no sliding adjusters on the crutch strap, just at the mount. -

I'll be in by Sunday. Sorting out a tow vehicle. Been doing my part by spreading the gospel on the book of face -
There was a storm pending coming to our area today while I was at work. Decided to try out tonneau cover for the first time after owning it for about 4 years now Naturally the rain missed us.

That's much appreciated. I'll relay to @FasterThanVov who will bear a lot of parenting duties over the "vacation". -

No good deed goes unpunished Booked all the way back in February. Nice and early for a Villa Just got a notification that the Villa is sold and my reservation is cancelled. They said they have no more Villas for rent at all as they are all sold without owners wanting to rent. Luckily was able to rebook on the VIP suite on the straightaway. Not ideal with the family but butter than hotel offtrack. Both days events being on Thunderbolt make it convenient to run back as needed. -
Nothing since the 5th for me

Love it. Well bought! There are a few "wrinkles" but if they can be addressed or overlooked it's a great buy! Please get new tires asap. -
Caterham parts are so bad with their service that Chris at Redline has become one of the biggest suppliers of their own parts instead of them and he's very prompt. Doesn't help you now but for the future ...

Pictures help tell a story. What's a "pr"?

I see @Croc has considered it a long time ago @Kitcat liked his diesel Touareg too. Time to do more digging.

What made you want to pick a diesel? I'm reading these didn't have the transfer case issues others have had. At premium cost of gas that the gas ones would need, Diesel doesn't seem to be much of a problem especially considering it will get better MPG. Touraeg won't be on my radar for a few reasons, one of which being future resale, especially if most of the parts are the same, I'd rather have something that keeps value better. Seems like diesel might be the front runner. About 15,000 total imported for 958 and I wouldn't want a tan interior. Expected budget likely around $20k for one.
