@KnifeySpoonyyeah, I would LOVE to build, and that's a part of my decision, although a smaller part as my time building will be a lot less than my time owning/driving. I suspect the 420 is much more car than I need, but there's that itch to just go for the top tier. I understand the spec differences between the 420 and the 620, but I was wondering if there were any reasons besides building that swayed you to the 420? Also how did you decide between the S and R pack? I'm on the fence about RHD... part of me thinks it would be interesting, part of me things it will be a pain after a while. Any takes on this?

@TheDingo8MyBabythanks for the response. I actually drive thru Willow Glen daily, so I may take you up on your offer if only to just chat and meet a fellow enthusiast. I understand your car won't be representative of what I'm looking for, but I'll bet you still have a lot of useful knowledge that might be helpful to me as I make my decision! Was there any specific reason you recommend Rocky Mountain Caterham over our "local-ish" Kampena Motors?

Hello, I'm Howard. I'm looking to be a Caterham owner sometime in the next year or two. I'm looking for someone who might be generous with their time and would let me just take a look around their Caterham, and talk about their car. I've contacted Rich Kamp from Kampena Motors in Sonoma, and he's been enormously helpful, but it's difficult to chat over email and I feel bad taking up his time especially if I'm not putting a downpayment right away for a reservation slow. Also, Sonoma is quite far for me to get up to with 2 young children in the house. I'm looking to buy a 420/620 and am curious about the differences between the models, as well as the differences between the S and R, and would love to get some real peoples opinions. I understand the differences on paper, but having a conversation with someone can sometimes really yield some insightful details that spec sheets don't really get into. I'm in San Jose, and I've actually seen a Caterham driving around town on Almaden Expressway. Thank you for your time!
