Thank you, I’m going to use this for mine!

Man that’s so cool! While I’m waiting on my kit I’ve been experimenting again with my CNC and a diamond drag. This is my Company’s logo for now, but I used some anodized aluminum business card blanks. I need to rerun it with some titanium blanks to see how that looks. I used to do my business card with these when anybody cared about that sort of thing. Can you share the profile image of the Caterham you used?

Oh man that looks like a blast, we need to do that in Texas.

Josh is helping me get one for Houston heat too, he might be able to help you. Rocky Mountain Caterham.

Nice! And in matching yellow too!

Makes sense!! Good luck on the sale, that’s a great looking car.

Hmmm…. what are you asking for the trailer? I need a trailer for my wife’s art business, and I’m trying to get one that I can have so double duty with the car.

@acoffing, I see in the listing you mention a trailer available too. Any details on that?

Very nice looking gauges.

Thanks @mccasksl! My kit is complete at Caterham HQ, so depends on how quickly it gets on a boat. Maybe 45-60 days total? I’m going to have a ton of build questions no doubt, my Dad & I rebuilt a ‘73 TR6, but that’s the entirety of my automotive build experience. I’ll keep everyone in the loop as I put it together and I won’t be shy with questions!

I’m just North of Spring in the Tomball area, up US 249. Frontage Roads and Toll Roads as far as the eye can see. I’m going to need to go North more into the Conroe/Plantersville area when I want to go out. Otherwise I’m going to take it to Downtown Houston for work! You are a brave man @hahuang65 for driving in Houston with just the aeroscreen, one of my biggest worries for the car is if it’s even moderately comfortable and drivable in 105 degree heat, let alone getting smacked by 80mph stones on I45. I really like the center mount idea there, especially how impermanent it is. I already picked up a Beeline and have a 3D model of the clip with a screw hole, but I just paid for my drivetrain this weekend so I’ve definitely put the cart before the horse in having it. lol

Pickleball?

Congratulations!!

Welcome! I ordered in early Dec from Josh and mine is done but sitting waiting on a container. You’re going to have a lot of fun!!

That’s good to hear!

Oh no!! Hopefully you’re alright!

I think mine is there waiting on a container, I just paid my balance last week. Maybe you saw it!

I didn’t take these, but they’re the first photos I have of my car and I got them today!

I picked up the G1 when they had a sale, but haven’t tried it yet. Hopi g it gets me in the ballpark and then I can compare to a real one.

Okay, you have to enlighten me, how did you come to find this thread again after four years?

Ah. https://www.autoblog.com/news/trump-plans-25-tariff-on-european-cars-prices-could-surge

As I'm waiting for my kit, I don't actually see a new tariff. The news articles from today say that after a year, the US/UK trade fell by 25%, is that what you're referencing? He did remove a whisky tariff today after dinner with the King during a toast... which is the dumbest way to do trade policy I've ever heard.

They're saying on the UK forum that it was an all-hands-on-deck, last minute build. Maybe they just didn't have time to do the white wheels. They do look FABULOUS though.

Omg you are so right, what a huge miss on not matching the wheels!
