Hi All, I acquired a 420R late summer last year and am now relocating from Boston to LA. I decided to do a route 66 road trip with my car (Boston to Chicago, then route 66 to LA). I've just made it to St Louis so one state down (+ MA, PA, OH and NY getting to Chicago). Couple of questions: Anyone done this before and have any recommendations on places to stop and visit? I'll generally planning 24 hours ahead and finding a hotel towards the end of the day. Its worked out pretty well so far! :-) Any thoughts on traveling through the "hot states"? Particularly New Mexico and Arizona. I'm not sure how sparse those sections will be but obviously I'll pack extra water, top up gas more frequently and keep close eye on engine temps. Any other suggestions/prep anyone recommends? While doing this as a once in a life time trip, I'm also raising money for charity at the same time. On the off chance, anyone is interesting in sponsoring, my donation page is https://charity.pledgeit.org/road2resolve Thanks

Hi! I'm about 2 months into ownership of a new Caterham 420R. Something I've been waiting for for 20 years! Thrilled to have it! I'm in the Boston area and looking for any recommendations who can help service the car whenever needed. Greg at Time Machines is great but its a long way to go whenever small stuff is needed. I'm looking to tinker with the car myself but looking for experts at the same time. I was thinking of calling either a few British speciality mechanics in the area or perhaps mechanics focus on Ford engines. Ideally I'd love to find someone who knows what a Caterham is and has worked on them before. Thanks Chris
