+1 Being close to Bruce is a blessing! Regarding many Caterham drivers in PNW, i was not aware of that... but i suspect with a good set of CR28 tires and some weather package these cars would be awesome to do power slides to work everyday, rain or shine Btw, the next 5 days look like 80's, i hope you guys get out and post some pics! While i wait for my car... my wife has gotten me the lego caterham, so i will build that and play with it

Great tip! Yes, god save the queen! I do love British cars... one of my dreams is to actually visit Goodwood revival one day! And heck, maybe hire a car and do some races! After 4 hours on the simulator, it is starting to feel more natural... and i have to say, no lift up shift will probably have a big impact on lap times! I was driving it on SPA, and switching from h-pattern to seq, in the sim, i saw ~1 second difference in lap time, but that track is very long and has many shifts

Yes, it is this one : https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/caterham/super-7/2395859.html I'm not sure why they were stuck with a 620r if no customer had ordered though..? Maybe there is a background story somebody knows

+1 would love to meet you guys...! Counting days until i get the car!

I'm not exactly sure what comes OOB with the 620r, but i think it's this one : https://www.sadev-tm.com/en/products/2-wd-products/2-wheel-drive-in-line/37-scl82-17-in-line.html I've heard getting into reverse sometimes is tricky, how is it with yours?

Hi Folks, Looking forward to joining the club! I've been a long fan of Lotus cars (own a 2005 Lotus Elise which i daily drove for 10 years in rainy Seattle all year around) and getting a matching Caterham in my garage will be a dream come true! I'm waiting for a new 620r being assembled in NY and will be shipped to Seattle where i live. I can't wait to see and drive it... hopefully during the 2 months of sun here ! One of the decision points on getting the Caterham was that Beachman Racing is ~5 miles away from my house. I would have really liked to have him build the car, however with some paper work/deals/etc.. it is left in the mercy of a random shop in NY to built it. However, when i do get the car, i'll make sure Beachman takes a pass at it and it passes the quality bar for some weekend fun and eventual some track lap records! I do plan to daily drive this car and track it as-well. I have never driven a right hand car, with sequential gear box. So for getting used to the re-wiring my brain, i've been practicing with a very realistic motion simulator with sequential shifter for my left hand. If anybody is into sim racing, they have great mods and the identical 620r for Assetta Corsa, and local tracks here in Seattle ! I'll admit, rewiring the brain to shift perfectley and heel'n'toe with left hand is harder to do in anger then i though it would... but i'll get there eventually! Anyways, just wanted to say hi and that i'm excited and perhaps a bit naive and would love to hear if there are any other 620r folks out there that i can learn some tips and tricks from! Cheers, -Cem

MCO = Manufacturer certificate of origin Hi Folks, I'm looking at getting a new Caterham, however the place that has the kit (NY) seems to have lost the MCO paper. They are trying to get it from Caterham directly.. is it possible to get a MCO after the fact or could there be more red flags here that i need to be mindful off? I'm really excited to join the family but want to ensure i don't get screwed in not being able to get a title + register the car. Any words of wisdom is welcome here... Cheers, -Cem
